I played this Wii game and have to say that while this game is pretty average, it does have negatives. I like how this mini-golf style game was made to have some innovations such as a mini-game for each adventure hole and great animatronic animations for challenge holes and trick shots.
Gameplay for this game is centered around traditional mini-golf and gameplay mechanics have you lining up your golf club and ball while swinging the Wii Remote to swing the golf club. You also can collect coins from each course but can also lose five coins for every skull coin unfortunately collected. The gameplay mechanics greatly resemble what you're suppose to do in mini-golf. There are three types of mini-golf holes for each course being Adventure, Challenge, and Trick Shots. There are several different courses from themes ranging from Fairytale, Dinosaurs, Wild West, Pirates, Barnyard, Mayan, and Egyptian for examples, though there maybe another one or two of these left that I did not list. For adventure course if you happen to come across a closed structure you will be thrown into a mini-game in which victory will result in an automatic hole in one. Each mini-game is different and well connected to it's theme but can be very challenging. I appreciate the use of Wii Remote but sometimes the controls for mini-games can feel slippery.
I can't say graphics are the best but seeing as this is a Wii game I can't complain too much though the textures look somewhat outdated, even for a Wii game.
This game is part of the Carnival games franchise with Barker the ring master as mascot. You can instantly recognize that this is a Carnival franchise game just by looking at the mascot. I'm not saying all Carnival games are of good quality but at least Carnival Mini-Golf is consistent with it's theme and is playable, adding some interesting twists to the mini-golf gameplay.
