If you have a Wii or a PlayStation 2 and enjoy all things Disney, you can take the quiz-show stage and answer questions as Mickey, Minnie or Donald in “Disney TH!NK Fast” ($50 Wii, $40 PlayStation 2).
The game is hosted by the genie from “Aladdin.” Genie does a fine job introducing the characters and keeping the show moving with quirky interjections, but his comments get a bit repetitive after a while.
Contestants are offered a handful of Disney characters to choose from, and additional characters are unlockable with certain achievements. Other movie characters occasionally drop by for cameos, joining the genie on stage to pose a question.
Films such as “The Little Mermaid” and “The Lion King” provide themes for the game-show stages, and the developers do a nice job creating visually pleasing settings that capture the Disney animation style. Multiple choice answers come in the form of pictures, making it easy for kids who don’t know the answer to guess.
Some questions can be challenging, especially if you haven’t seen the referenced movie in a while. Others are ridiculously easy, such as the one that shows a picture of a wrench and three other items and then asks which item might a mechanic use. This can be a fun title for die-hard Disney fans, but the $50 price tag is a little steep for a game with a rather narrow appeal.
