 Gotta Get Golf! Oct 30, 2008
By Momslave
"Momslave"
We were excited to get our hands on this game as our boys, ages 5 and 6, really enjoy the original Wii Carnival. I think this Carnival is better suited to adults, and adults will find it more enjoyable. Graphics are improved. The game consists of courses (only three are unlocked at original play) that can be played in either single or multi-player mode. The three easy courses are opened for play first and include a farm theme, dinosaur theme (a house fave!) and a fairy tale theme. The courses are fun, and I find myself wishing they were real. :-) One of the more enjoyable aspects of game includes the fact there are mini-games in the holes when you enter a certain obstacle or area. In the farm area for example, heading into the hen house brings up a mini game of trying to catch eggs and coins in your basket. It's quite a hoot! The mini games aren't overly annoying, don't take too long (but long enough to grab a drink or snack), and break up the golf game. We've only had it for a short time and haven't unlocked the other courses, but the boys love spending their coins in the Pro Shop to purchase different golfing costumes. After the boys hit the sack, my hubby and I found ourselves challenging each other to a game or two. The only challenge we've had is getting the boys to understand how to increase or decrease the strength of their swing. It's a little awkward for the younger golfers at first, but they are getting it down. It doesn't stop them from enjoying the game or slow the game down. We can't wait to unlock the other courses! Have fun!

Fun, Even Playing Solo Nov 07, 2008
By Amanda Devon
I too have and enjoy the original Carnival game so when I saw this I knew I had to try it. The graphics are pretty good, though there are some courses that are a bit dark and hard to see what's going on (Dinosaur theme). The Easy courses are easy but the Hard courses are REALLY HARD (at least for me!). I have to respectfully disagree with Brandon though, I am a 42 year old woman and the only one in the house who likes Wii games (hubby is all into PS3 and daughter is 15, and well, being that age, hates everything) so I play alone. It is FUN to challenge myself. Also, you have the option of playing with the Carnie guy if you want a little competition. The game makes you think about the best angles and the outcome of your shot so it's not just a stupid mindless game. I have to be careful about what time of day I start to play because if it is close to dinner time and I'm in the middle of trying to master a difficult course, ain't no one eating dinner that night unless they call delivery! LOL.

 Great & Fun Game for the Wii Oct 21, 2008
By Larry David
This game takes the best aspect of the Wii Best Selling Title "Carnival Games" and moves it to the next level. I had a lot of fun playing Mini Golf, the courses are very diverse and the Wii game play is truly superb.
This game has lots of replay value, each golf course offers something unique. It is a great title to have in your collection, fun to play by yourself and even better to play with others.

Best Mini Golf Game for Wii Nov 10, 2009
By Jennifer Plank
"Wii Crazy"
My best friend enjoys playing mini golf games, me not so much. We have purchased or rented several other golf games out there for the wii and have only been disappointed. The controls were either tricky or the game itself seemed like we were playing golf and not mini golf.
Well this one was perfect. The settings of the games were excellent, it felt like we were on a mini golf course, and each one was unique and very well crafted. The controls too felt like we were really golfing.
The cheap price tag on this game helped it out too. Out of all the golf games we have tried this one hands down offers the best bang for your buck.

Carnival Games Mini Golf = Fun for EVERYONE!!!!!!! Nov 05, 2008
By Brandon
"BPR"
I'm 19 and I got this game for my B-day and I have to say that we played this for hours. Everyone from a 9 year old boy to 54 year old woman loved this game. The graphics are nice and the courses are loads of fun. Single player looks fun, but without friends and family to play with I can see this not being as fun.
