One of my most favorite memories growing up was going to the fair every summer. The best part of it was playing the games, which we all know now were rigged and only a certain percentage of people actually won. That didn't really matter then, but now we want to even the score. The Nintendo Wii has helped to do that with the creation of its video game, "Carnival Games".
Play begins when the player creates his or her character and the only drawback to this is that you can't customize or change your characters features like hair, clothes, etc. The video game begins as you take your character into the carnival to start playing games. The Nintendo Wii's "Carival Games" gives the player two modes to play in; 1) single-player mode where the player can earn prizes and 2) multi-player mode where the players compete against each other. The video game has twenty-five different games to play, which are most of the favorite games you remember playing as a kid when you went to the real carnival.
This video game does have some problems with the controllers; players must be quick and accurate to get passed the round and it seems there have been times that the players are faster than the controller. Nintendo Wii, I am sure, will reformat this problem in future video games, but in this one, it does seem to be an issue with some of the games the player must play.
In order to receive prizes the video game awards these based upon how well you do in four levels. The better you do the better the prizes; much like at a real carnival; if you want the ten foot tall stuffed monkey, you had better be real good at tossing the rings.
All in all the Nintendo Wii has done a pretty good job replicating the carnival atmosphere in this unique video game. I recommend "Carnival Games" for families to play together on game nights or at parties. It is definitely a video game that both children and adults will enjoy.
