    I think this is a very good party game. If you play this with a group of friends you will really enjoy it alot. You will enjoy it even more if you are drinking... Even playing solo the game is alot of fun and the mini-games are creative and fun. The PlayStation move works well with the game, I had no lag issues or inaccurate movements.

    It's a fine game only few people will get to experience due to the lack of a move controller. There's basicly seven kinds of mini-games here, but every game has five levels with a different set-up and missions.

    The game will provide a whole new experience if you play it together with family or friends, as your misses will be enjoyed and laughed at. Controls are perfect and very responsive. The BGM is typical carnival music, but forgetable. There's animated cutscenes as well, but they're nothing big to brag about as the animation is mediocre at best.

    This is a enjoyable game alone, but playing it with more people will boost the enjoyment.    … Expand

    It's colorful mini-games and fascinating visuals will surely satisfy youngsters, but if you're not among them you should consider looking elsewhere.

    Inoffensive, shallow, sometimes fun but nothing that will engage over a long period of time. [Issue#213, p.92]

    This carny simulator's as simple as can be-but it's surprisingly fun and definitely helps bolster the Move's casual appeal.
