  Carnival Fun Anytime, In Your Own Living Room!!!
Review created: 09/12/07
45 of 45 people found this review helpful.

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 & old
Review created: 03/31/08

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.

I like this game. I bought it for my 10-yr old. She likes the variety of activities and its prizes. Her only criticism is that girl player is far from attractive. Options to create or transfer your wii player would be a plus.

  Get a PS3 absolutely free! This is 100% legitimate
Review created: 08/01/08
by:

I’m sure you've seen various 'free' gift scams on the Internet, but the following offers are NOT scams in any way, shape or form. This method has been covered by respectable sources such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Wired and G4.
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 on eBay. They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money that goes toward yours and my free gift.

There are many well known legitimate offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, 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 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 a few people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link.
Step 1: Click this link
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4991526
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 free trial offer (like Stamps.com, You will start a trial and can cancel it right after with no charge at all.)
Step 4: Refer to people to do the same. Just do what I’m doing and use eBay.
Step 5: Receive your PS3 for FREE!

I purchased this game about 2 months ago for my 5 yo son and myself. It is still one of our favorites. There are so many different games to play there is bound to be something for everyone. Basically you play games to earn tickets. Then you use your tickets to buy hats or other things to wear or you can use them for other games. There are also super games that you only get access to once you've mastered the another. It's easy to do, lots of fun and doesnt freeze up my Wii like some of the other games.

  WOW FREE WII OR PLAYSTATION3
Review created: 07/14/08

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

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.

  + GREAT GAME!! EVERYONE in the Family will ENJOY IT!! +
Review created: 07/10/08

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,
