This game features many of the favorite Toy Story characters such as Buzz, Woody and Zurg, and also lesser-known characters such as Bo-Peep and the Prospector. The overall concept and quality of this game is the same as the original memory game: cardboard cards with printed pictures are matched up in turn. What's different about this game is the complexity of the pictures. Many of the cards do not fit into simple categories such as "ball" or "train." There are pictures of Buzz, Woody, Buzz and Woody flying, Buzz and Woody running, Buzz and Woody standing together, Woody and Jessie standing together, Woody and Jessie with Bullseye standing together, Bullseye standing, Bullseye lying down, etc. The complexity of the pictures makes this game more difficult than the original. It's not enough to remember that there's a "Woody" card here and a "Woody" card there, because they may not match at all. After playing the original Memory game for countless hours, my son was significantly more challenged by this version. In fact, we were still playing this version long after the original Memory game became a "little kids toy."
Because of this, I was surprised to see that the recommended age for this toy is 3+ years. Of course, one could always start with a smaller set of cards for a younger child, but as the grid grows, the difficulties presented above would inevitably develop. This toy is suitable for any Toy Story fan, but I would especially recommend it for children of 5-6+ years.
