Toy Story Mania!
Toy Story Mania! could have been an interesting use of the fantastic IP. Unfortunately, the massively repetitive gameplay is far from endearing, and given that practically no improvements have been made from 2009’s Wii edition, there’s little to recommend here.

The story aspect of the game is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many reviewers noting that it offers no real narrative, merely presenting a series of disconnected minigames. While some younger players enjoy the toy-themed gameplay, die-hard fans of the Toy Story franchise express disappointment, feeling that the game fails to capture the essence of the beloved series. Overall, the game's story is seen as minimal and underwhelming, primarily serving as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.
“My son loves this game to the moon and back; he is three and loves Toy Story. Definitely a fun game for kids and a good way to potentially get them into using a computer. Since playing this game, my son has now figured out how to use basic computer interfaces.”
“Toy Story Mania is a fun game for kids.”
“Disney Pixar Toy Story Mania!”
“As a Toy Story fan, this game is horrible, but my hyper-fixation on the series won't let me hate or uninstall it.”
“The point is that this game is just shooting games with a Toy Story theme, followed by a relatively high price; nothing more than that.”
“You will unlock the first games by playing the 'campaign' (there is no story, you just play a couple of consecutive minigames), which will take you about 15 to 20 minutes.”
