This game is meant to be a time waster. Pop it in and play for a little bit. It’s not going to blow you away with graphics or gaming appeal. It’s literally a fun little game to play. I also recommend playing with one than one person.

We in our family are suckers for the Wii "party games". We can never have enough fun multiplayer games to keep the gang interested. This is why Carnival Games for the Wii caught my interest right away. No ifs, ands, or buts, this is a fun game. Relive those hazy summer weekends walking up and down the county fair boardwalk. Throw some darts, knock over some fuzzy guys, shoot some ducks and stars. This is a perfect game for the Wii, where the multitude of games require a simple point-and-shoot or a quick aim and toss. There are only a few necessary skills required, and the games are nicely sectioned so the repetitive motions don't get TOO repetitive. Skeeball, knock-over-the-bottles, pop-the-balloons, all fit into the "aim and toss" category, while shoot-the-ducks, throw-the-football, and others fall into the "aim and shoot" category. Filling out the games selection is a number or more unique games, such as ring-the-bell (strength test) or roll-the-bowling ball-over-the-hump. Fun! There are several extras to unlock, and PLENTY of prizes and tickets to win. We've only played the game for one evening, but I'm already looking forward to many more hours of entertainment. Not everything is perfect, however. Most notably is the lack of Mii support. You must create a Mii-type character to participate. The Carnival Games character generator pales in comparison to the myriad variety supplied in the actual Mii generator. It seems silly to me that they couldn't, or wouldn't, support the native Mii characters. Also, the multiplayer mode should have been implemented much more smoothly. For many games, such as ring toss and ball throw, it seems obvious that several players could play concurrently, just like the actual carnival game. However, this is not the case. Players must take turns, throwing one ball, dart, or ring and wait a seemingly interminable amount of time while the carnie gives his advice (or admonishment) before the next player can go. However, some games DO allow multiple players to compete at the same time. All in all, this is a surprisingly fun game for so simple a concept. All the classics are represented, and are done exceptionally well. Some games are simple but addictive, while others are quite challenging and can be frustrating. Add to this the relatively inexpensive price tag ($40 as opposed to $50 for most new releases) and you have an all-around winner.Read full review
This game was purchased for my husband and me. We have had so much fun with it! It's certainly not an every night game, but there are many different ones to play and also it's made interesting by setting goals: Like there are certain places with a game like a certain duck shot or a certain bottle that the ring lands on that opens a secret. Plus there are extra games to be opened and you collect tickets everytime you play which can be used to purchase different outfits for your character or to buy a fortune or play the claw game. Much to keep your attention for a long time.
We bought this game for my 4 year old. He is able to play a few of the games. Skee ball is easy enough for him. However, many of the games are simply too difficult. The game does not group the easier games together, so we had to spend a lot of time using trial and error to figure out which games were age appropriate. One pleasant surprise is how much I have enjoyed this game. I have spent many hours playing Carnival Games when I've needed to just zone out after a rough day. Definitely worth the money!
