Carnival Games - PlayStation 4

Bought this for my bf who has no 2 player games for his PS4. I am sure he will love it, or I will when I visit for sure. We have the same one currently for the switch at my house!

I had this game for the wii game system and fully enjoyed it. But I was not a huge fan of the wii and that took a little away from how often I played it. Then I saw the game available for the ps4 and was thrilled. I wish more games would put games out for different systems. There are a lot of games to play packed into this set and I am very much looking forward to being able to enjoy them more on the ps4! :)

As you probably already know, this is a collection of mini-games. Up to four people can play; unless there are four people, there will always be at least one AI-controlled character, as all of the games always have four participants. The only person that I've played the game with is my older bro, so our experiences with the games are the only ones I can write about. (I played on my own for a while the first time we played.)There really isn't much to any of the games, but they are fun and often kind of silly (in a good way!). Some of them are realistic, like ones you would probably find at an actual carnival, while others are more wacky. However, most of the games are locked at first, and you unlock (or "buy," or "open," or whatever) them by earning tickets from playing games that are open or that have been opened. There are 20 games altogether, of which only like 8 are playable at first. The games are divided into "groups" of five as though they are in four different-themed "sections" of the carnival (I think two games are open in each section to start with).As I said, I've only played with one other person, so I can only tell you what WE experienced; other peoples' experiences may differ. It seems to us that AI characters are better or worse at some games than at others. At certain games, one of us usually won, while the AI seemed much better than us at other ones. But whether one of us won or not, the games were still fun and entertaining!It may seem (as it did to us at first) a drag that almost all of the games are locked to begin with, but we found that there were certain games (ones that are open from the start and ones that we unlocked) at which it didn't seem too hard to get a lot of tickets to open other games; it only took us two play sessions (a long, about-two-hour one and a much shorter one) to open all of them. In fact, one of the games you can play from the start, the baseball-hitting game, is one of the easiest ones, if not THE easiest one, to win and at which to rack up tickets! Unless EVERY human player is REALLY bad at this one, none of the AI characters have a chance! (At least, that's how it seems to my bro and me.) If *I* could win at it as soundly as I did while playing one-player, then I'd think just about ANY human would gave a good chance of winning at it ANY time!You can also use tickets to buy other stuff, like music tracks (I'm not sure how these work, as none have been bought by me or my bro; I don't know if they ever will be) and certain clothing options for your customized characters (if you've made any, that is).Which brings me around to the character customization feature. At the beginning, there are just a few options open for body type, skin color, face, eye color, hair, hair color, shirts, and bottoms (at least that's how it was with the "adult male" characters that my bro and I created). All of the options you can buy (to begin with, anyway) are silly "novelty"-type ones that I really don't think you can't live without (again, that has been my and my bro's experience with our custom characters). At any rate, I guess it's kinda cool that you can have custom characters.Overall, I like this game, or rather, this collection of games, even if there isn't a whole lot to it (or to THEM). It's family-friendly, so anyone can play, though it can become kind of repetitive before too long. Just don't pay too much for it or expect too much from it, and I think you'll enjoy it. I'd say it was worth getting for under $30, and is proof that a video game doesn't have to be filled with violence, blood, profanity, suggestive themes, scantily-clad females, or whatever else that would net it an 'M' rating in order for adults to have a good time with it!

I was searching for a game that my whole family could play (fam of 4) and came across this one! I love it. I just wish I could figure out how to save the progress and points. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It has all the old school carnival like ski ball to ring toss and my fav baseball. This is a great game for even younger kids who game 5, 6, 7 and up. So if anyone knows how to save all progress that would be great to know.

All that matters is that my six year old granddaughter loves it. It's the only game she's interested in playing when she visits (she beats everybody in the house at the Cups game). We usually play teams to try to even things out a bit, slowly but surely she's getting the hang of it (she does really well at baseball too). If it makes her smile and laugh, it's well worth it. But as a game for older kids and adults, it gets kind of tedious and boring. Great for younger kids because of the somewhat easy game play.

Todos en familia disfrutamos de ella…

The kids love it

This game comes with a variety of different carnival games, easy to play, easy to unlock and cool music to go with it. This is one of the best games I’ve bought that the entire family can play and enjoy
