Pros: Many games will probably be in the cheap bin soon
Cons: pretty much the whole thing
The bottom line: Probably great for kids or people with short attention spans.
Glad I rented this instead of buying it outright, as I was planning on.

The games are fun. You get to use the wii remote in a variety of ways. I bought this as a game for my husband and I to play together, but there are only a few games where you're actually competing against each other at the same time. Otherwise, I get a turn, then he gets a turn. Then I get a turn, then he gets a turn....etc.

You have a choice of about 30 different games, all based on carnival games. Dart throw, shoot out the star, skee ball, ring toss, knock over the milk cans, etc.

And just like a real carnival, you get the feeling that the games are rigged to your detriment. No amount of skill or trying will allow you to win some of the games. Gee, are the basketball hoops bent so that no ball will EVER get through one? Only the carnie knows for sure.

The characters you play aren't your Mii, though, and that's kind of disappointing. Instead, you can make a character--boy/girl, man/woman. They are goofy looking and you. must. create. a. character. before. you. can. play. Like, I don't care. I just wanna shoot some darts. Doesn't matter. You must make and name a character whether you want to or not.

My husband choose the "man" character and got a guy with a huge pot belly. It was funny for a while, but then just got annoying.

Also, your characters don't have arms, just hands, and that's odd.

The games are simplistic and I think aimed more towards kids, especially the whole thing about getting tickets and prizes and such. I JUST WANT TO SHOOT DARTS AT BALLOONS! sheesh.

This is hardly the worst game I've ever played, but I would suggest renting it before buying it. We were a bit disappointed and kind of bored after going through and playing for an hour. Ho-hum
