 County Fair games in your living room! October 10, 2008
All the games I have played at one time or another at my local county fair growing up. It's fun and even little kids who understand the remote can play. Great for kids and adults and its never boring. All these games can be found at the local county fair, arcades, or even at amusement parks. It's fun and easy to play!
This is fun! September 30, 2008
My husband and I invested in a WII several months ago to improve our health. We are using the WII sports every day which we love, and are both losing weight and feeling good, but were looking for a diversion- something more in the way of game and less of sport. We came across Arcade Games and after reading the reviews here on Amazon, we decided to invest in it. We love these carnival/arcade games! We are having a ball racking up tickets so that we can play the crane machine and the coin drop machine. There are a few that we don't care for (toss the ball into the cup, toss the football into the tire, test your strength, nerves of steel) but we love the ski-ball game, the horserace game, water balloons, balloon darts, shooting range, knock the bottles down, ring toss, the frog game- to name a few. The younger generation might find these games boring but for us (50+) we find these games challenging and interesting and alot of fun. It's like having the Jersey Shore Boardwalk in our living room. If you are looking for something to enjoy with your family, this is a great game night. It is time well spent together and well worth the money.
We like it! September 17, 2008
We bought this for the family (Mom, Dad, 10 year old and 7 year old). We brought it home and set it to play mulitplayer with shared remote (because we only have two). That was a mistake. To play skee ball ("alley ball") you get 6 balls. Well in this mode, you throw one ball. The next player gets the remote and rolls one ball. The next person gets the remote and rolls one ball. By the time all 4 of you roll your six balls, the kids are restless, and I'm half asleep. I thought we wasted our money.
The next day I played in single player mode, and that was a lot of fun. Then I played my daughter in Multiplayer, 2 players, each with their own remote. That moved soooo much faster than playing with shared remote.
So, to summarize, in single player, or multiplayer head-to-head mode, with individual remotes....VERY fun. Don't even try to play multiplayer with shared remotes. You'll fall asleep waiting your turn.
Pleasantly surprised... September 14, 2008

I should say up front that I'm not a very avid video game player or afficianado. I really like this game because of the variety. You really do have a lot to choose from with minimal stuff to read beforehand. This is another good family game.
 Fun for a little while and for groups September 14, 2008

Carnival Games has more than 20 minigames, each of which are pretty fun. But, they get dull quickly. You figure out the motions and timing you need and thereafter it's too easy to beat the games. The only benefit to this game once you have it down is that you can beat your friends! But, the control use is awkward; for most minigames, you have to take turns playing the game alone. My husband is very impatient, so one round of this game was too much waiting around for him to handle. I would suggest that you rent this game sometime when you have people over, but since it lacks replayability, I don't suggest buying it.
Other notes: You can play with a lot of people, since you take turns. You only need the wiimote to play -- no extra controllers needed.
