This is a great game, my 7 year old loved it, but my 9 year old is getting borned with it, have had it less than a week. Loved the ride at WDW, and bought the game there for $60, good old Disney bargain! I see Amazon has it here for $40 plus $6 for shipping, so it is a real bargain here. The 3D is totally fake, it seems to consist of a cardboard pair of glasses with one tinted lense, other than creating a minor headace effect, it produces no other 3D effect at all. It is no problem viewing the screen without the glasses since there is no double image at all. Since none of the projectiles that you fire, have any double image when they appear "near" you, there is no possiblity of a 3D effect at all. There is nothing in the directions about the 3D, like turning it on or off, so it appears to exist only in the minds of the product's marketing department. The game is great without it anyway, the game fields are simular to ones in the ride, and even have bonus backgrounds that open up if you score high enough, and a second set for even higher scores. The kids are still trying to find out if there is a third bonus background. This is a great short game, this is the first video game I let the kids have, since it is limited in the game play so I knew it wouldn't be something that they would play endlessly. It was nice to be able to bring part of WDW home with us, and this was our favorite ride. I like this game even better than the Wii version, since this one is closer to the appearance of the ride, both in terms of the screens and the controller.

We picked up this Midway Mania! plug-n-play video game at a good after Christmas discount sale, but am rating this as if we had paid full price.
We loved the Midway Mania ride at Disney's California Adventure. This game has some real appeal from the look of the custom controller (very close to the real thing) to the splendid packaging graphics. While this game reflects more of what the ride used to be like before the updates Disney made after Toy Story 3 came out (e.g., Rex and Trixie's Dino Darts replacing the Bo Peep's Baa-loon Pop) my bother with it has more to do with:
a) This game is lower than Standard Definition resolution. Graphic colors are dithered and pixellated, looking too poor a quality for what a video game should be, whether on a tube TV or a flatscreen. The Flatscreen settings don't make this look any better on a flatscreen TV than if you have it set to Standard settings. Sound is Mono not Stereo. This low of video tech on a modern game property is almost inexcusable.
b) The games are a fun way to relive memories, but are missing out on many of the pop-out layered targets and easter eggs like the real games (and that also appear similarly in the Wii version of Midway Mania). Yes this a just a shoot-at-a-target game, but this is too far below the real ride experience that to say it is "inspired" by the real thing is a bit too kind.
c) The 3D implementation is really lame -- not even traditional blue-and-red anaglyph type 3D tech here -- and the included one-tinted-eye-and-the-other-not cheapie cardboard Infin-D glasses really stink. If you happen to have plastic glasses left over from Captain EO, Midway Mania or any other movie or amusement park ride, they actually work much better. They make the objects look more contrasty and cleaner than when using the included glasses, though even still they don't make objects "pop" like they do in the real game. And the low rez graphics still distract more than they should. You can play this about as well without glasses as with them.
This game by Jakks Pacific is a fair bit o' family fun and for reliving Disney trip memories. We found the light gun worked well and although it lags a touch in its processing speed you soon learn to compensate. The white circle target showing on screen is slightly distracting whereas in the real game you just figure out your targeting by way of the experimentation and the 3D experience. (Much more natural to a Midway style game.)
If you pick this game up at a good discount it's likely worth a star or two more to you in rating your likelihood for being pleased with your purchase. Mostly this reminds me of the potential a well-made game like this could have had, and to get less, while still helping creating some fun family game time, is a bit like getting stale popcorn. It's more bound to remind you of what it should have been than satisfy as much on its own merits. At least we didn't have to wait in line for two hours before we discovered the shortcomings of this Jakks product.

First of all, it's not 3d. I don't care what the box says. Read more

What a waste of money!
My 2 and 5yo boys are enjoying this. For now. I know it won't last because this has to be the lamest thing I've ever seen. All the games are exactly the same. Read more

Poor operation!
We ended up returning this game, because it simply didn't operate well. The receiver, when placed precisely per game instructions, seems to lose track of the gun's signal. Read more

A Pretty Good Recreation of the Disney Ride
The game console is easy to set up. 4 batteries go into the hand-held controller, 3 batteries go into the motion sensor "box" that sits near your TV, and you plug in an RCA cable. Read more
