Video Game Reviews of Carnival Games
Customer Review: I love it! My kids love it and so will you!
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you looking for family fun to add to the great time you're having with your Wii? Then try this family pleaser. It's pure family fun! Game play is simple and controls are explained.
I have no complaints... if anything a suggestion to all of the game makers out there reading the feedback....let us use our Mii's plii's! I got carried away there with Nintendo speak. But yeah that's the only bummer, you have to create your own player but hey, no biggy, it's fun either way.
Customer Review: Carnival Games for Wii
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun game, reminds me of the old carnivals I used to go to when I was a kid. You can't go wrong with this game. Customer Review: Great in theory, awful in practice
Summary: 1 Stars
What a great idea: take the fun of the carnival home! Fun for all ages, right? Throw a beanbag at the milk pails, toss a softball into the bushel, the dunk tank, etc. The problem is that the controls are so inappropriate that the minigames feel like random chance. For example, in the dunk tank game, instead of simply aiming for the target, you have to wait while a dot spins around, then time your throw to coincide with the dot appearing on the bullseye. Then the smarmy commentators make some wisecrack that you don't know what you're doing. This game gives me much greater appreciation for Wii Sports and Warioware. Returned this game to the store after about an hour. Not recommended.Customer Review: A fun game, but it's not Wii Sports 2
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't expect the next coming of Wii Sports, as the current ratings would lead you to believe.
Just as an example, I'll compare Carnival Games' "Skee Ball" to Wii Sports' "Bowling". In Wii Sports, the curve of your swing is taken into account to create spin. In Carnival Games, only velocity is measured. In Wii Sports, you can aim diaganolly in addition to left and right. In Carnival Games, you can only move your character left and right.
The experience is pretty shallow, you'll have a blast at first, but not long after. Some of the games are so frustratingly bad you'll only play them once, like the ring toss.
However, like the positive reviews correctly point out, there are loads of games, there are fun things to do with the Wiimote, and you will have fun playing this game with others. Just don't expect the depth of Wii Sports - which wasn't a deep game to begin with!
Overall this is a decent game, worthy of a pickup from the bargain bin, where I'm sure you'll find many copies in a month or two.
Customer Review: Awful Game!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This game goes like this...
- Select a game,
- Wait 30 seconds for game to load,
- Play for 30 seconds,
- Wait 30 seconds for "prizes",
- Wait 30 seconds for game to load ...
There is a lot of waiting and not much playing. And when you do finally get to play, either you can't figure it out because it's not intuitive or the playability is awful.
Save your money. No wait, wait, wait, keep waiting, wait a little more, almost just keep waiting, dang you're still waiting!...ok now save your money.
