Have you ever paid attention to all of the cash games that line the boundaries of any Shakedown Street of any carnival or festival? Jack of All Games has produced a Wii game that recreates many of the same games the barkers are always trying to get you to spend your cash on. They’ve done a decent job of replicating the experience, with graphics that are a cut above average (not spectacular, but solid!) and hours of mini-games that are fun for as many players as you have remotes. Speaking of remotes – Carnival Games has multiple ways of requiring you to orient your remote – you learn a lot of remote skills by excelling at these games!

Carnival Games is an excellent multi-player game as well as a solo-flier game. My wife and I have hours of fun with Carnival Games, and I will venture to bet that you will too. I’ve read some poor reviews of this game by some of the major reviewers, and I have to disagree. You have to take this game’s purpose into consideration – lots of fun with simple mini-games (not always so simple, mind you!) for one or many players. The games are quick, fun, and often energizing. People with a short attention span for gaming will love Carnival Games.

A comprehensive list of the available games (some of them need unlocked in the “career” mode):

• Alley Ball (Skee Ball for the Wii!)
