    If you look at Carnival King as a title that is meant to be a throwback to both classic carnival games and arcade titles, there is a lot to like about it. Just realize that it won't last you very long, unless you are the kind that needs to convince the world that you are the best at this kind of game.

    Solid play control, a wide variety of shooting gallery themes, and a competitive two-player game mode make this WiiWare title a lot of fun, especially considering the very reasonable 700 Wii Point price tag.

    This is just aiming and shooting, and the mini-games fly by fast.

No quarters or tokens required, but no unlockables or extras, either. It's worth at least a look, if not a purchase-- especially for fans of arcade games.… Expand
