| Carnival Games: Mini-Golf |
 |
Carnival Games: Mini-Golf features Carnival Bob and characters made popular in the original, Carnival Games: Mini-Golf is home to larger-than-life, theme park style miniature golf courses. Whether back in time to the land of dinosaurs, keeping order in the Wild West or searching for treasure on an island full of pirates, the game combines traditional miniature golf fare with action-oriented game play utilizing the unique capabilities of the Wii Remote. It is designed for four players and can best be described as “a hole in fun.” [2K Games]

Play this game on Sunday morning, if you don’t know what to do between breakfast and lunch. Don’t even think about bringing Carnival Games: MiniGolf to a party! This game is too simple and slow to really entertain.

Solid visuals, decent golf mechanics and a large assortment of prizes to collect will keep some gamers busy. The game just needs more courses and an expanded single-player mode to really make gamers come back for more.

The sound in Carnival Games Mini Golf is disjointed and weird.

Worth Playing
Even if you're wanting to play a cool mini-golf game on the Wii, I have to say you'd be better off waiting for something else to come down the line rather than waste your money on Carnival Games: MiniGolf.

When minigames not involving golf are the standout parts of a mini golf title, you know you’ve missed the mark.

Poor controls and a ton of pointless gimmicks make for one frustrating round of Astroturf golf.

It’s impossible to give that feeling when players have so little control over their own performance. If you’re looking for a golf game to play on Wii, there are plenty to choose from. This one’s definitely not worth the price of admission.

While the graphics and hole designs are inviting, the frustrations caused by the controls and Barker himself successfully put a damper on the entire experience.

GameShark
The game looks nice, albeit a little GameCube-y, but unfortunately, the pretty pictures and cute animations of the various course contraptions don't help what's really wrong with the game, namely the cruddy swing mechanics.
