Catatan dari Wired : Carnival Games
This relatively small collection of mini-games does a decent job of recreating the experience of a state fair, right down to the rigged games. Imprecise controls make too many of the games too frustrating to play, and the ones that do work don't have the kind of replay appeal necessary to make this a must-have title for your game library.
You start by creating a cartoon avatar, choosing a hairstyle, shirt, etc. Wii owners are used to this, having created a whole family of Mii characters with the program built in to the hardware. (Why you can't just import these into Carnival Games, I have no idea.)
The games themselves are a perfect selection of carnival tasks, like tossing rings onto the necks of bottles, throwing footballs through tires and knocking down milk bottles, but the controls make many of them unplayable. To play the ring toss, you flick the Wii remote like you're throwing a Frisbee. But it rarely seems to work properly, and can only be done right-handed. To ring the bell at the strong-man booth, you have to shake the Wiimote vigorously back and forth, which is not only boring but really hurts.
The Wiimote magic does work sometimes. The underhanded toss of the Skee-Ball game perfectly replicates the actual machine. But while some games are fun, there just isn't much to them -- you'll feel like you've seen everything Carnival Games has to offer after just a few play sessions. Save your money: Go to the real fair instead.
