Carnival Games: Mini-Golf (Wii) 4.3 5 57 65
Fun for the entire family!! My 8 yr old and 12 yr old both LOVE this game. We often have a house full of neighborhood kids and everyone always enjoys playing this game. My husband and I also enjoy playing mini-golf with the kids. It is definately a favorite!!This game can be enjoyed as single player, single player vs. the computer (a.k.a.- Barker) or multi-player (up to four). Obviously you play mini-golf. Each course has three holes and there are multiple courses, each with a theme. There are several 'skill' shots available in which a hole-in-one is necessary to beat the hole.I disagree that only 'luck' is required when playing this game, there is a little skill involved. My kids have mastered most of the holes, but a few of them are still a little difficult for them. Want to know the best way to shoot a hole? Play against Barker and he will show you!!As you play a course you collect coins for that course. You can then spend your coins in a store and obtain different outfits, putters, balls, etc.. As I mentioned above, each course has it's own theme, so as one would expect the items for purchase with the coins won on the 'fairytale' course have a 'fairytale' theme. One would have to play many, many, many rounds of mini-golf in order to obtain every item that is available. The kids really enjoy getting to change up their outfits and often have their person looking very, very silly.My daughter played this game as a 6-yr old and enjoyed it. I think a teenager could enjoy it if they were playing with their younger siblings, but it would probably not be the game of choice if they were playing Wii with other teenagers.We do wish there were more unlockables, more courses and more challanges.We would definately recommend this to a friend.The kids are really hoping there will be a Mini-golf 2 someday soon. 12/13/2009
Disappointed I am a senior that loves playing Minigolf with my wife. So when I saw this game I had to have it.Very disappointed. It can't be played like 18 holes of minigolf.There are 18 holes divided into 9 theme courses.Three holes in each course. One Adventure hole that has a mimigame in it (not golf). One Challenge hole that has a number of diffrent paths.Like finding the right hole out of 6 that will lead to the right one.One Trick shot that you have to make a hole-in-one. Not skill just luck.Some of these holes you just have to play over and over again to sink the ball with luck not skill.All mini courses I have ever played you need alittle luck in but skill to get a good score. This one is all luck so you can't compete.Overall the holes can be fun and flusterating. 11/15/2008
IGONRE BAD REVIEWS! This game is terrific! My 4 year old got it for his birthday and it turns out fun for the entire family. Even grandparents! The people that gave this a bad review and said that you have to go back to the beginning screen to pick different holes are mistaken. They must not be playing in the right mode. I play with my son daily. We play 9 holes and dress our characters up together. The fun part is that yes, it is with some luck, but the more you play this there are hidden little games in in and you can figure them out. If my 4 year old can show me how to play and figure the whole game out, then I would think that it would work for adults too. He even beats me sometimes all by himself. Several people that have come over our house and played want to buy this now. If unsure, go rent it and try it out first, but I think it is great. 02/22/2010
