The Wii Carnival game is 100% fun. It's all the classic carnival games and activities...without the hucksters and tatooed carnival employees bothering you.

The games progress nicely the variety of action keeps your attention. Anyone over the age of 3 would love to spend a half hour at the "Carnival". That includes those well into their 40's..50's and anyone at the nursing home able to hold and swing a Wii remote.

The objectives are obviously easy. Knock over cups, dunk the man in water, throw darts, etc...

There's no story line and you do not have to follow any specific trail. If you want to play a particular game, click and go there.

You create your character to resemble your interpretation of "yourself". Have fun with that aspect and use your imagination. Win games to get "credits" for adding silly accessories to your wardrobe.

The game layout is easy to navigate and you will be tossing rings and shooting water balloons withing minutes of loading the game disk.

Even the price is acceptable($39).

The graphics are nice and have a 3D effect, but are not as lifelike as some of the more sophisticated and complicated games. Many of the characters have robotic motion ...but it still provides tons of fun. It reminded me of a souped up version of the "sports" sample game disk that comes with the game console.

The focus is on playing games...not progressing through some storyline and gathering clues or pieces to a puzzle. Just pure clean fun.

I would think that Nintendo would stock games like this in a more efficient manner. Our area had sold out in most stores and only small shipments were expected(this was during Christmas no less).
