![]() ![]() You will need at least 6 GB of free disk space to install Disney Pixar Toy Story 3: The Video Game you will need a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Pentium 4 4.00GHz.In short, the standalone $5 game doesn’t really justify its cost in my view, and the whole experience plays more like a cash-in on a popular franchise.Provided that you have at least an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 graphics card you can play the game. Graphics in Toy Story Mania range from atrocious to pretty good, depending on the mini-game. Each mini-game’s connection to Toy Story is tenuous, featuring a character here or there, but lacking any of the trilogy’s charm or storyline. ![]() Parents should know that several of the games involve shooting guns, though you’re only ever aiming at targets. Others, like the balloon popping game, are dreadfully dull you simply tap on targets, over and over again. Some, like a slingshot game that’s a bit reminiscent of Skee-Ball, offer enjoyable gameplay. Toy Story Mania comprises several mini-games. On the upside, the $5 game was received positively by our reviewer. It’s a $5 standalone game with no business in the Toy Story 3 app’s main menu. The second not-actually-included game linked in Toy Story 3’s main menu actually links to a separate App Store download all together, Frankly, it seems entirely appropriate that you spend the game staring at a horse’s behind. It’s fine, but it’s nothing I’d intentionally spend more than a minute on. By tilting the iPhone, you steer Woody and his horse through an unimaginative trail, tapping one button to jump over obstacles and another for “boosts,” snagging any coins you encounter. The game, which bears no real connection to the Toy Story franchise beyond the fact that it again features the Woody character, is a pedestrian horse-riding game. Two other main menu options within Toy Story 3 provide links to two separate games. (Note, though, that when I scrolled through the game’s menu, it often registered taps when I didn’t want them, which was rather annoying.) When you’re done creating customized messages from Woody, it’s time to move on to Toy Story 3’s other free offerings: You can watch a trailer for the movie, you can use your iPhone as a wireless controller for the Toy Story 3 game for Mac, or you can browse other Disney digital titles, like albums and games. My young daughters found this feature tremendously entertaining, for all of two minutes. You listen to them, and then you create another one, or simply move on with your life. Of course, you can’t actually do anything with those greetings, like send them to friends or save them. ![]() Here, you provide a few details-a name, a talent (like “book learning” or “cowpoke”), and the like-and the Tom Hanks-voiced character speaks a mildly customized greeting. What you get for free (as opposed to in-app and outside-app purchases, which I’ll discuss below) is limited to just a few features, the most prominent of which is titled Woody’s Greetings. (Annoyingly, the game wants you to watch that video every time you launch it, but I suspect you’ll only launch the game once or twice before you delete it from your iPhone.) But once you’re ready to use the app, it quickly proves itself disappointing. The 119 MB game-and please trust that I call Toy Story 3 a “game” begrudgingly-starts out promisingly enough, with a lengthy, detailed tutorial video showing how to use the app’s unique interface. ![]()
