Here you can find a rather dull sound mixer as well as a make-your-own-monster feature. The good news is that older Disneyphiles won't get bored nearly so easily. It makes for some great brain teasers that are perhaps a little too difficult for the young target audience. On easy, you simply trace a line on a single plane, but as the difficulty increases you are required to select the right pipe as well as navigate 3D space. You have to connect pipes in the right position to make the busted ship work again. They make for some good characters to boot.īy far the most taxing puzzle in the game is found in the claw machine. The machines actually come to life too - the only time they have done so in Pixar's universe. The game with the alien slushy machines is yet another iteration of Simon Says, but again the animation and presentation will actually make you want to play for a short while. Not only is it home to the mandatory clip show, but it also hosts two other mini-games. Thankfully the arcade made the move worth it - a trio of activities can be found. Pizza Planet appears to have moved location to Andy's front yard judging by the view from his window. Alas, it's no paint studio from the previous activity centres and doesn't hold your attention for long, even when you choose to make those lights flash. It's not a game, but a means for artistic expression.

Rex is lumbered with one of those LCD glow boards. It's basic addition but again Hamm is great to play against making the whole thing far more enjoyable than you may think. The goal here is to not let the total go over 39 on your turn. Hamm invites you to play a game of cards. Whether you win or lose, their reactions are great to watch. Depending on what side you're on, you can choose to be either the little green army men or the Weeble townsfolk. In a similar fashion to Connect-4 or Reversi, you place your pieces, in turn, to get five in a straight line while trying to hinder your opponent as best as you can. Slinky gets out his chessboard for what could be a game of checkers like in the movie. We start off in Andy's Room where Slinky, Rex and Hamm are waiting for you to play with them. Every one of these areas has at least one game that will keep your attention. The format remains the same - games are dotted around three locations - but don't let that fool you. Add to that a presentation that goes far beyond the already high quality of Aladdin and The Lion King and you have a kids title that many adults will truly get a kick out of. It may still be a collection of mini-games with a selection of movie clips thrown in for good measure, but a fair few of those games are actually a lot of fun. Much like the Animated Storybook version, Toy Story's Activity Centre really ups their game from what has gone before.
