Carnival Island
SCORE: 87
Carnival Island is a Playstation 3 (PS3)
Move title from Sony Computer Entertainment. This home console game
takes place on a magical carnival island. The anime that is used between
scenes is fantastic. Four family members can enjoy the thirty-five games
and attractions in Carnival Island. There are nine challenges per mini
game. Complete two of them to unlock the next mini game.
Carnival Island generally has a safe look for families. There are a few
minor things here and there that earned this title the Comic Mischief.
Children should be fine playing Carnival Island in this reviewers
opinion. The characters including the Panda Bear are very friendly.
Completing the first challenge in a mini game will unlock an animal -
who cheers for you.
The music in Carnival Island is soothing, relaxing, and fun all at the
same time. The character's voices are distinctive. Each voice fits the
character to a T. Fireworks and celebration sounds are found when the
player completes a challenge. Pressing the triangle button during a mini
game will show all of the challenges.
The thirty-five number in regards to the mini games can be a bit
misleading. There are multiple kinds of ring toss games, and multiple
kinds of mini bowling games. Some may leave Carnival Island a little
disappointed in that regard. They are each different enough to warrant
diverse strategies. The challenges are also going to be slightly
different.
Earning all of those challenges in Carnival Island can be difficult. Do
not expect to do that in a weekend. The Move controls work properly.
Once the family member learns how to do a game, they will excel quickly.
Learning the ring toss was difficult at first. But once this reviewer
figured out what to do, those challenges were being attained quickly.
Carnival Island teaches a few lessons. First off, go out there and have
fun. Secondly pay attention to what you are doing. Third, restore
carnivals back to their former glory. Carnival Island is one of those
games that families can enjoy together. Especially if your family has
not played any other carnival based games on other platforms.
