Pap the Disney
Gamer's Highlights: Disney's
Th!nk Fast
Developed by: System: Wii,
PlayStation 2

There is nothing
Disney likes more than trivia.
And why not? Disney has one of
the richest histories in pop
culture. It allows them to
create interesting trivia games
that range from the simple (What
is the name of Mickey's dog?) to
the challenging (In what year
did Mickey's pet dog make his
debut?). Today's game further
capitalizes on Disney trivia in
a very fun and colorful way:
Disney's Th!nk Fast.
Th!nk Fast is
designed like a game show, but
done in a grand Disney manner.
Hosted by none other by the
Genie (Aladdin), players take on
the role of different Disney
characters as they answer
various questions on different
categories. These categories
range from quotes and phrases
said by Disney characters to
places and locales. In addition
there are basic memory and
counting skills-based games.
Speaking of locales, the game
show sets take place on various
Disney themed worlds, such as
the world of London as seen in
101 Dalmatians and Hawaii
from Lilo and Stitch. It
wouldn't be a competitive game
show title without multiplayer,
and Th!nk Fast doesn't
disappoint in that area. Up to
four players can join in and
take on various challenges
including the various mini-games
in between the trivia questions
that allow players to gain even
more points.

The Wii version
of the game used the innovative
Wii Remote controller as its
main input method. The
PlayStation 2 version, however,
came with a special controller
that emulated the feel of a
buzzer. Both versions are
identical right down to the
questions. In total, there are
over 5,000 trivia questions,
both based on Disney history as
well as general knowledge. Like
any good game, Th!nk Fast offers
rewards for loyal players. If
you continue playing, you can
unlock additional playable
characters, such as Scrooge
McDuck and Magica De Spell from
Ducktales. Speaking of which,
their voice actors, including
Jim Cummings and the late Wayne
Allwine, lend their voices to
the characters, making it an
authentic Disney presentation.
The graphical presentation is
colorful and captivating,
matching the whimsical appear of
the Disney films and characters.
Disney's Th!nk
Fast is, at its core, a very
simple trivia game. It doesn't
tell a complex story like
Kingdom Hearts or create an
inventive game universe like
Epic Mickey. Yet what it does
well is engage its players in
Disney trivia in a manner that's
accessible and fun. It does have
challenging questions that get
you to think further about your
favorite Disney movies, but
doesn't overwhelm anyone that
just wants to play. It makes for
a perfect family game night,
especially for those that love
classic question based board
games. It is also a very
affordable game so it is further
incentive to pick this game up.
