At SpecialEffect we have got a lot of mileage out of the original Carnival Funfair Games on the Wii through our various projects. With it's simple and intuitive gameplay style, many of the mini games are instantly engaging and fun.

New Carnival Funfair Games delivers the same bitesize chunks of instant fun with 'over 30 new games and attractions.' As previously, the fairground is divided into different areas each with a group of funfair challenges which can be played between one and four players. All of the games only require the use of the Wiimote without the nunchuck and can be played with or without the Wii motion plus and with just one hand and sat down.

Raquet Sports Party

By BillGameBase


Wii - Ubisoft

Raquet Sports Party offers Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash and Beach Tennis in various different game modes and locations, to keep swinging your Wiimote fresh for multiple gaming hours.

WiiMotion plus controllers can be used to increase realism and accuracy. Gameplay requires no button presses (once you are in a game swinging of the Wiimote is all that is needed). Different strokes can be used for advanced players e.g. lob, top spin, drop shot etc, but forehand, backhand and serve will cover most shots.

'Read and Solve like a Mystery Novel!'

The game plays like a mixture between playing a point and click adventure game and reading a 'Whodunnit?' There is a lack of quick reactions or complicated co-ordination or dexterity required by the gameplay.

Much of the gameplay involves talking to people to gain information and clues to help solve the mystery of Ashley's mother's death. The interaction with objects and people aswell as movement around the game involves pointing the Wiimote at area of the screen and pressing the 'A' button to select them.

The game comes packaged with a Zapper attachment, which positions the wiimote and nunchuck into a comfortable position for gameplay. To aim your crosshair use the optical sensor and to turn direction point it to the left or right furthermost edges of the screen. For some activities you also need to move your position, which is done using the thumbstick on the nunchuck.

Whilst it may find it hard to get a look in with the release of Wii Sports Resort, Sports Island 2 does, however, offer some worthwhile entertaining activities. Kendo doesn’t compare favourably to the accuracy of Sports Resort sword fightin and many of the controls for the other activities can prove fiddly such as Dodgeball’s timed button presses. Petanque, however, offers a nice instinctive use of the ‘Wiimote’, with it’s simple aiming and throwing controls.

Wii Sports Resort

Finally, a game to rival the original 'Wii Sports.' Now we have lots more sports to try our hand with the added accuracy of control, which the 'Wii motion plus' offers (packaged with the game). A good initial assessment of this is the excellent sword fighting, where you can make subtle movements and angles to block or strike your opponent to knock them of the podium and into the water. Skydiving allows you (in a surprisingly relaxing activity) to fly through the sky creating formations and forming routines.

‘Experience all the fun and excitement of the funfair.’ A bit hit and miss (excuse the pun), ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’ offers more than 25 different games including a shooting gallery, a dunk tank and test your strength. Most of the games are quick and easy to pick up and some don’t require any buttons just the motion of the wiimote, which allows for ease of playability and more intuitive controls, such as Alley Ball, Frog Leap and Spilled Milk.
