Carnival Games is dissapointing. When I first got the game,I was in love with it. But it got boring in 1 week.

I'd say its somewhere in the middle. There are a real lot of mini games, but some are ridiculously difficult. Others require a lot of pumping the Wiimote vigorously in order to charge up an action, and this can be quite tiring and annoying.

Its sort of like going to a real carnival, where the carnies have rigged games that are impossible to win. Rent this game first, and try the multiplayer with a friend.

I found myself with a sore arm after playing this game.Lots of fun mini games but to shake the remote so hard to power up meters is just a little extreme.Especially for younger kids.Very good use of the remote otherwise.

It was somewhere in the middle because in the midst of all these mini-game-games it seems like it is just kinda 'been there done that'.
But for the minigame-games the games werent all that bad, im sure if this is played multiplayer its a blast though. So if youre looking for a party game you should rent it.

GREAT GAME to play with a group of friends or with the family. If you like Wii Sports, you'll like this one.

My kids (boys age 4 & 7) LOVE this game.

One issue I have with the game is that if you have more than 2 players, you have to either all share 1 remote or have 4 remotes. You cant have 2 players share 1 remote and the other 2 share another remote.

It's fun at first, but once you play through all the games, there's nothing else to do. You should get it for the multiplayer.

I Love this game. my husband and my 9 year old daughter are always playing it. It's just like playing those games without the scary carnies.

Just like at the State Fair, all those expensive carnival games are just sometimes plain fun. The game was ok but it lagged a bit when going between games. You can even hear the lazer drive in the Wii moving so much.

It was fun at first, but it just became very repetitive and i grew bored after a week or so. it would have been nicer to see your mii's used, but eh, its just a crappy party game.

I personally don't like this game, but my girlfriend and her little brother love playing it together. It's a great casual game for kids.

Decently Amusing for a little bit, but not worth more than 5 to 7 dollars.

well this game is mainly aimed for little kids like 4-8 year olds. The graphics are ok and the title just gives it away. This game however might be fun at parties that only had 4 people for ages 4-13 probaly. They don't have .5 but my real rating of this is 2.5.

I read a lot of reviews on here, most seeming bored with it. It was 30 bucks and looked fun so I bought it and found it to be really fun. It's like a virtual carnival in your living room thus the fact that it may result in a sore arm.

Honestly... Did not like the game that much, the games were kinda fun (for about 15 minutes each) but the fact you could not have your Mii just killed the game for me. I know it's a picky detail... but I thought thats what your Mii was for, a universal character that, in my opinion, should be able to be incorporated in FAR many more games. Those stupid little genaric people just sucked! I hated watching them play the games. Try it, you might like it. Lots of people have it and love, borrow it from them for a couple of days before you buy thats all.

Some games are impossible to win. Or impossible to get a lower winning. Like Day at the races. Or nerves steel is really hard I barely just get the first level. The multiplayer has kind of confusing for me.
