Carnival Games Mini-Golf - Wii - English

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.
