The glasses provided with the game are sized so that they are difficult for anyone over about 8-years-old to wear them. I tried the 3-D thing once and then decided to forget about it. The good news is that the game itself is lots of fun and the picture quality and coloration is just fine without the glasses. How many game choices are there? A lot. ;-) I would guess somewhere between 15 and 20 but I've never counted and don't plan to. Most of the games from the parks are duplicated on the video, as well many new ones. Overall it is certainly worth $30.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I have it. (I got it for $20 on Amazon so see if they still have that price), It's an okay game. Gets kinda old quick though because you basically just push the button a million times trying to hit anything within reach. It's hard to aim very good.
Originally Posted By tashajilek The best Disney game ever is Epic Mickey!! Its awesome its like a creepy version of being at Disney parks! Its a little bit difficult and i needed the internet for some help, but them game is really great. Toy story 3 also has a great refrence to the Haunted Mansion. Toy Story Mania is a lot of fun if you are playing with other people.

LOL I don't think it gets old though. And since my scores continually get better, there is obviously some learned skill involved.

Granted, we've found lots of other great games since we bought it, but TSM was the deciding factor to get it. My kids are 3 & 4 and they both LOVE the game, even though neither one of them can score very high without a little bit of help & some of the games are just way too hard for them, but that's when it's fun for mommy & daddy to get a chance to play! Hehehehe!

Maybe we should look at it again, especially now as we have a 3D tv we could try to turn on the 3D translator to see if it makes it any better. I would say Carnival or Play are two better but similar games of this type for the Wii.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I think the game is fine for little kids, but I got bored with it fairly soon. It was the first game we bought for the Wii. My young nieces and nephews like it when they visit, but other than that, it mostly gathers dust. The targeting is a bit wonky at times. If you have young kids, they'll enjoy it. But for teens and grown ups, it gets stale fast.

Originally Posted By Pollyana Well, we spend the afternoon playing Toy Story Mania. I liked it a lot and will play more. We had our 3 year old grandson play and he felt some success. We will get a lot of use out of the game and have a lot of fun too.
