Nintendo Wii Game Reviews

Carnival Games for the Wii is one of my favorite games to play when I just want to play a quick game. The games starts off by selecting the mode (single or multi-player up to four) and then you can select your “carnival person” or create a new one. These are not your mii’s you created on the console. These are special characters used only for this game. My favorite game is Balloon Darts, located in Love Lane. The object is to bust as many balloons as possible in a set amount of time. The smaller balloons are worth more. To play this hole the Wii controller like it is a dart and do a throwing motion. Ka-Pow, located in Claw Alley, is also a fun game. This is the classic knock the clown with the funny hair down game. A circle moves through the rows of clowns and you use a throwing motion at just the right time to release the ball. I have seen players knock down two clowns with one throw and have also saw just the hair get knocked off of the clown. There are many other similar games such as Spilled Milk where you have to knock all three milk jugs off and the popular Dunk Tank game. Another favorite is Going Nuts, an Arcade Alley game. This game costs 20 tickets to play but also pays in tickets. The object of this game is to collect the nuts as they fall from the tree in your basket. The Wii controller is held sideways and is tilted left and right to move the basket. This game is great fun and with some practice you can get your 20 tickets back plus more for collecting the nuts.

For multi-player fun I suggest the Shooting Gallery located in Rodent Row. Up to four players can simultaneously shoot at ducks are they pass by. Do not hit the red ducks as they will subtrack points. Players are also rewarded more points if they hit the smaller bulls eye of the duck instead of just shooting the duck anywhere.

After you have mastered a game a special super game will be available to play. This is a variation of the original game and is just a tad bit harder than the original carnival game. As the game is played the player is rewarded points that can be used to buy special fashion accessories for the carnival person. Special items are also awarded such as elephant feet. Who doesn’t want to wear elephant feet around the carnival? Gotta fit in, right?
