Carnival Fun Anytime, In Your Own Living Room!!!Review created: 09/12/07

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.

Wii CARNIVAL GAMES a huge hit for young & old10 of 10 people found this review helpful.
Do you like going to the fair and playing games? Is it the dead of winter and you're going stir-crazy for a little summetime fun? Just pick up CARNIVAL GAMES and you'll be hankering for some cotton candy and caramel apples in no time!
I am still relatively new to the world of Wii video games, so I like a game that it not difficult to control.
Carnival Games was a delight in so much that the characters did what you told them to do. If you wanted to throw a skee ball down the lane, you threw it (like you would actually toss a ball) and it happened. No delay, no confusion, just fun.
Carnival Games is a lot of fun to play by yourself and a blast to play with friends. In solo mode, you can wander about the grounds, playing whatever games you wish. Depending on your performance, you can win virtual carnie prizes…such as little toys or stuffed animals. Of course, you can trade up smaller prizes for bigger ones.
I liked how you could unlock all sorts of bonuses! There are 4 ways to get bonuses in the game:
1) win games, gather tickets, redeem tickets for prizes (the traditional way)
2) click on/discover secrets hidden in the backgrounds (such as clicking on a passing flaying saucer will unlock a bonus)
3) trade up smaller prizes for the ultimate prize (this usually unlocks a secret)
4) find secrets hidden in the games (ex. getting the gold/center cup in the game “Lucky Cups” will unlock a secret)
The secrets you unlock might be prizes that you can dress your character up in (ex. funny hats, funny shoes, funny masks, etc) or you may unlock a super bonus game to play!
There are many games to choose from and all are fun, though some are more difficult that others. Watch out for “wii-itis” the next day if you play a lot of “Test your strength”.
I really liked the sounds of the game. Everything from the background music to the clink of the rings hitting the glass bottles (in “Ring Toss”) sounded realistic to me and that heightened my enjoyment of the game.
Will the serious gamer love this game? Probably not, They would probably find it too easy after a while and the “simply for fun” nature does not usually appeal to serious gamers who are always striving to “beat the game”.
My parents (who, believe me, are NOT into video games at all) both played Carnival Games for hours one “family evening” and were having a riot.
I think this game is a lot of fun and I think you'll like it too. It is better than some of the other "party" games for the Wii which offer fewer games and are more difficult to control.

Everyone would love it. But you might get tired of it in less than a week. So it's only good when you have a group of people.

WOW FREE WII OR PLAYSTATION3Review created: 07/14/08
by:
Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.
Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.c
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).
Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)
For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.
Please take advantage of this offer!!!

+ GREAT GAME!! EVERYONE in the Family will ENJOY IT!! +Review created: 07/10/08
by:
GREAT GAME!! There is A LOT to do in this game, as there are an endless amount of Carnival Games to play. The kids and adults will love it, and play it endlessly, hours on end! Also, each player can make/design their own players identity and win/unlock MANY items throughout each game to help build your character even more. All of the games playing levels range from easy to more difficult. A GREAT SKILL BUILDER for kids of ALL AGES. Carnival Games is Rated E, for EVERYONE!
In the game, you win MANY exciting prizes, can upgrade prizes once you accumulate a number of them per prize level, and with many of the games played, you win tickets, for which you can use to play many other games and redeem for more character items. If you pay close attention when playing, you will also find many bonus items being presented in many of the games. High Scores also allow you to unlock higher level games.
Can be played in SINGLE PLAYER MODE or COMPETITION/MULTI-PLAYER MODE.
GREAT GAME!!
DEFINITELY WORTH BUYING!!! You will be sure to get MANY MANY HOURS of use from this game!
We hope you found this Review **HELPFUL**! If you did, let us know by CLICKing YES at the bottom of this Review.
THANKS MUCH!!!
Have a Great Day,

Simple, but Fun GamesThere are over 25 games to play. The two that I like the most are 'Alley Ball'(Skee Ball) and 'Shoot For The Stars'. I found most of the games to be very realistic and fun. Just pretend that you are at a real carnival, relax, and have fun. You can even have fun playing alone, but it is definitely more fun when you have a friend that you can compete with. Enjoy!

Like a Kid Again!!Review created: 06/07/08
by:
This Wii Carnival Game is like being 13 again and going to an arcade. This is fun like we used to have playing original games that were just fun not about killing someone or blowing things up. This is like going to the Firemans Carnival and trying to get your dime to land in the ashtray to win a prize or knock down the dolls or get your ball to stay in the milk can without bouncing out. Anyone remember duck hunt or skee ball. This game is for you. At first my kids were like that sounds boring. But now they fight over who gets to play first and they are 15 and 17. They say they wish they had games like these to play. Forget Halo and all that playstation stuff, bring on the Wii Carnival Games!!

It's okThis game has many games inside with options to play as a single or multiple, with one controller or with many, which is good. The player plays each game and unlocks secret chambers and can upgrade some games. The games are fairly realistic to carnival games, but can actually be won.

Carnival Games for Wii is Great FunReview created: 06/07/08
by:
I love this game because you get a good value for your money with so many activities in one disk. Most of all, the prizes that you win at the carnvial are worn or carried around by your Mii and you can change them up at any time. The carnies talk to you while you play which is sometimes interesting as well. Really worth the money!
