Re: Carnival Games (Wii)

I get off work in a little while and was thinking of getting it. More impressions please.

My wife and I just put in a session with it. The skee ball is awesome. The basketball is annoying, but I'm good at it for some reason. The test of strength and the water balloon thing are both hard, but a lot of fun.

For when we have people over, this is the perfect party game. We both had a blast with it.

EG....do you NEED more than two remotes for the games?

And do you envision yourself playing this thing for more than a couple hours total? I don't usually have people over so it would mainly be for myself and my siblings...

I did good at the water balloons. But the test of strength is very hard. Something about shaking the remote, swinging down and hitting the b button at once is hard.

We only used one, passed it back and forth. I have 4 though.

I think it's more made for multiplayer, I can't see myself playing it single player much at all honestly. But the stuff we played was a lot of fun.

Re: Carnival Games (Wii)

yeah, I think it will get old playing single player but it's a good game if you play with other people.

Is it worth the $39.99 (for the multiplayer aspect) in your opinion?

Cool. Thanks. Been looking for another good multiplayer game.

I bought the game and it is a lot of fun. My shoulder hurts from the test your strenght, LOL. I think this might be my favorite of the party games so far on the Wii, finally knocking off Wii Sports for that honor. All of the games are fun IMO, and there are lots of single player unlockables which is always a good thing for me.

Picked this up over the weekend, and my wife and I had a BLAST with it. We both felt that very few of the games are duds... most were easy to get the hang of, but tough to master. I also think it may become my favorite party game. Can't wait to try it out with 4 players this upcoming weekend!

My three year old is better than me at skeeball...maybe I'm getting too old for gaming.

I figured out how to get 100 on skeeball probably 5 out of 6 times. Now my wife won't play that one with me anymore LOL

Super Alley-ball is pretty tough.

I can't get enough of Lucky Cups and the Clown game. My daughter kicks my butt at Day at the Races. She just wants to get tickets so that she can do the crane game. The coin pushing game is also pretty cool. I'm really liking this game.

Re: Carnival Games (Wii)

I'm convinced Gamespot didn't play the game at all.
