Designed for the entire family, Carnival Games hopes to bring the fun and excitement of the fare to the home, with a selection of more than 25 games waiting for players.

The game will enable up to four players to compete in games including Clown Splash, Milk Can Toss, Nerves of Steel, Lucky Cups, Hoops, Day at the Races and the crowd-favourite Dunk Tank.

Players are competing to beat the other players, but also to win over 250 unique, upgradeable virtual prizes. These include a goldfish to a giant stuffed animal, plus items which can be used to customise your character.

The game was built from the ground up to take full advantage of the capabilities of the Wii Remote, so the flick of your wrist in ‘Alley Ball’ makes the difference between scoring an impressive 100 points and a lowly 10 points,” said Steve Lux, Vice President of Publishing for Global Star Software. “The ability to pound the Wii Remote like a sledgehammer with the right mix of power and finesse in ‘Test of Strength’ determines whether you are a Contender or a Grandma.

The game is currently without a European release date, but is scheduled for a summer release in the US.
