Carnival Games

Good times at the Carnival!

Strengths: 4 players, lots of stuff to unlock, very good controls.

Weakness: Gets kind of repetitive after awhile.

At $40 (MSRP), this is a pretty solid title. Most think it's just another cash in since it's ANOTHER mini-game game. Yes, it is. But it's a good one, at least. This is a great game for families to play, as we ALL know how to play the games at the carnival. There are lots of different costumes to unlock, so the replay value is there. This isn't one of them games where you would sit there for HOURS...

At $40 (MSRP), this is a pretty solid title. Most think it's just another cash in since it's ANOTHER mini-game game. Yes, it is. But it's a good one, at least.

This is a great game for families to play, as we ALL know how to play the games at the carnival. There are lots of different costumes to unlock, so the replay value is there.

This isn't one of them games where you would sit there for HOURS playing. However, it's something you do in small periods. It's fun to play a game or 2 (maybe 3) with some friends.

The sound and graphics are so-so. Are graphics everything? Of course not, but we have seen better on the Wii. The character designs are quite weird too.

This may not be THE party game (Mario Party 8 is currently my favorite), but this is a good game to break out every once in a while.

Carnival Games Wii

Strengths: Very kid friendly. You can use actions like at a real carnival

Weakness: Repetitive if you are an adult playing

My eight year old Grandaughter loves this game. It has a lot of games that are like being at the carnival. They play quick & eather you win the prize or not. This is fun to play with the kids. Not so much for adults by yourself as it becomes repetitive. For sure better then losing real money at the Carnival grab joints! Over all I think this is a great family game

Carny fun for all , but don't waste too many tickets for this game for one player

Strengths: Great variety of games. Game creates good atmosphere. A lot of fun for more than one player.

Weakness: Some games are hard to control. Some games are pretty easy.

Step right up to the Carnival Games for the Wii. Carnival games consists of 25 of the most popular games played at carnivals. There are some super games you can unlock in addition to those games. You can either play solo or with a group of friends in head to head with any game and competition mode (5 games selected at random). What's the reward? Prizes of course! Over 250 prizes can be purchased...

Step right up to the Carnival Games for the Wii. Carnival games consists of 25 of the most popular games played at carnivals. There are some super games you can unlock in addition to those games. You can either play solo or with a group of friends in head to head with any game and competition mode (5 games selected at random). What's the reward? Prizes of course! Over 250 prizes can be purchased with your tickets and can be upgraded from smaller prizes.

Before you start playing, you can customize a character . The customization options are limited, and much less than the Mii creation options.

The Wii remote movements seem pretty logical for most games. Since there are so many games, controls vary from pretty good (alley ball, spilled milk) to terrible (golf hole in one, ring toss- it's hard to tell how much force you need to put in). As you get better in some games on tries, they increase in difficult (smaller target, increase speed).

Some games get boring after a while so replayability is limited for the single player.

This game is probably more suitable for parties and definitely suitable for younger audiences.

My Day At The Carnival

Strengths: A lot of game variety and the games are pretty fun, especially with multiplayer mode. Also even younger children will be able to play this game.

Weakness: You get through the game much to fast-the 30 or so games that it has are short in duration. You also can't change your character that much.

The whole family will be able to play this game and for the best experience with this game, you should play with other people. There are a variety of games to play but many will seem too easy for even moderate gamers, but it is fun to compete against friends and family-which is what gives this game some replay value.

Fun game. But the game has bug.

Strengths: Lots of different game. (25+). You will find a few that you like

Weakness: Graphic is so so. Some of the game are just hard to play (hard to control).

You will get bored with the game very soon. Some of the game are just very hard/tired to play and making your hand so tired. The bad thing is the game will freeze your wii and require a complete power down from time to time. I don't think this game is worth it. Better spend money on other game.
