Not exactly an in-depth review, but here's what Nintendo Power said.

"At first glance Carnival Games appears to be a carnie version of Wii Sports, but with Skee Ball instead of bowling, miniature golf instead of regular golf, and sedated looking weirdos instead of the more-cheerful Miis. But once you dig in to this vast collection of carnival-themed activities, you’ll find it to be more of a single-player-focused experience than Wii Sports.

Not to say there isn’t a multiplayer mode- there is, and it’s fine. But for me, the value of Carnival Games comes from exploring the carnival, earning prizes, trading your prizes for bigger prizes, and unlocking new games.

Not that all the activities are hits, but there are more than 30 to choose from, and all are surprisingly authentic to the carnival experience. Coin tosses, shooting galleries, stacked milk bottles- they’re all there, and much more. The motion controls can be a bit unresponsive on some minigames, but on most they work well.

If you’re a fan of Wii’s pick-up-and-play titles, than picking up Carnival Games is a no brainer. – Andy M.”
