| 88 of 91 people found the following review helpful  A Pocket-Size Carnival With Big Fun!, By = Fun: This review is from: Carnival Games (Video Game) If you have a little patience to learn and appreciate the differences between this and the Wii’s Carnival Games, then you are sure to enjoy this game! It’s neither harder nor easier as a whole, and it’s biggest benefit is you can take it with you anywhere and play it in small spaces! I loved the Wii version (see my review for it), but the DS one is quite a departure from that one in a number of ways. It’s still a fantastic game though and here are my thoughts about it in great detail… As you start your game, you will create your character with the newly added option to change his/her skin tone (how they left this out of the Wii version, one may never know!). Then once you have your person ready to go, you are free to explore the Carnival. First of all, each of the 23 games have instructions that appear when you start them, like in the Wii version, so you will know how to play… Frog Leap: This has frogs (lilypads), cannonballs (pirate ships), and baby chicks (nests) that you launch into the places they belong using a stylus pulled launching mechanism. It is slightly frustrating for me because I am so disturbingly inaccurate. haha :p I like the game, I am just not real good at it. The control is great, but my personal aim is not! Alley Ball: (aka Skee-Ball). I happen to love this. I liked it immensely on the Wii version, but I also love this DS one as well. This is much more accurate than it seems, and I have learned after many plays that you can easily ace this game. My highest score so far is 530. I have no trouble at all flinging this ball into the 100 point holes or the 50 point one. It gives you 8 balls to roll up the alley. I like how you can control the direction and strength of your ball entirely with the stylus. It’s one of the best games on this compilation. Test Of Strength: This is such a weird game. You have to use your stylus to rub back and forth on a weight-lifting arm as a meter fills up to your left, then quickly tap a bullseye when it is green, and BAM you get the bell to ring. This is hardly a true test of strength and is incredibly easy to master. On my second play of the game, I had won the largest prize. Star Shootout: This one was definitely better on the Wii. I just do not have a steady hand and that is an absolute requirement for this particular mini-game. On the DS version, it is a bit awkward and takes some getting used to. You have to use your stylus to point/aim at the specific part of the star you want to shoot out while you hold down the L or R button to shoot. Believe me, that is odd. I like the game concept but the controls on this leave much to be desired. Nerves Of Steel: Well this game is definitely less frustrating on this version compared to the impossibly difficult one on the Wii. Here, you use your stylus to hold steady the wand as the wire passes through it. This wire is kind of long, but I can actually make it to the end! The game isnt too bad, and I like that it isnt overly difficult to do. Clown Splash: This game was horrible. I tried a few times to play it and it’s just ridiculous. Next! Buckets Of Fun: To play this one, you turn the DS on it’s side, where the touch screen is on your left. You take your stylus and fling your ball into the bucket on the right. For each ball that makes it in and stays, you will find that the bucket shrinks a bit. This game is pretty difficult but I keep trying! I have gotten 2 in so far out of 5. Spilled Milk: This is the same game with radically different gameplay than the one on the Wii. In this version, your stack of milk bottles goes jumping all over the screen and when it stops, you have a tiny amount of time to tap the stack and knock them over. I know this sounds retarded but it actually isnt too bad. How else could they have made this on the DS? I have hit all 3 stacks, by the way, so it isnt too hard to do. Honey Falls: This game is hidden in a tree (tap the honey/bees), it is to the left of the Spilled Milk game. Anyway, in this game you have a little pink bear (yes, pink) and he is carrying a pot of honey. He has to move back & forth (control pad) to catch honey falling down from bees above. Sometimes a bomb drops and makes a hole in the ground so you have to use a button to… 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful  My third favorite game of 20, A Kid’s Review = Fun:  This review is from: Carnival Games (Video Game) I have 20 DS games and I like this game a lot. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  mediocre collection of mini-games, By Mandi (Virginia) – See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Carnival Games (Video Game) I like to collect DS games that are comprised of a nice assortment of mini-games, such as Touchmaster and even The New Super Mario Bros. But I have to say I was a little disappointed with Carnival Games for DS, despite it’s good reviews. The game is cute in style, and creative in concept. You fashion your character to your own liking, then have him or her wander around a carnival from booth to booth where you play games and try to win tickets. If you get enough tickets you might even unlock a prize which goes into your collection of clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories. The collection delivers some interesting clothing/accessory items, and some of the accessories even have special abilities–for example the radar gun zaps you up into a UFO and drops you off onto a different part of the carnival grounds. But there really isn’t much else to do aside from trying to complete this collection. Some of the games were okay, but none that I really had any desire to play over and over after winning both prizes, even just to accumulate tickets. Most of the games were ridiculously easy to master, while some were a little difficult, and a few just downright frustrating. There were also a few secrets that didn’t take me long to figure out that got me some rare items to add to my collection–but still nothing that made any significant changes in the game itself. If you can find this game for about half the cost of what you would pay for it in the store then I say go ahead and give it a shot. But I just feel like it was a bit of a waist of money for me to only have played it less than a week and already put it down for good. |
