Toy Story Mania! (Disney; Wii; rated everyone)

It may feature the characters from Pixar’s popular Toy Story films, but this game does nothing to promote the Toy Story brand.

Toy Story Mania! lacks the fun and careening feel of the films, the clever humour that references the toys of youth while at the same time reinventing and celebrating childhood.

That the game is presented in 3-D—two sets of the red-green paper-frame glasses are included—does nothing to make this worth the effort.

It was supposedly inspired by the new midways at Disney’s California and Florida theme parks, but it’s nothing more than a collection of poorly re-created carnival-themed minigames. Throw darts at balloons, throw pies at targets, throw rings at objects.

Ah, just throw it out.
