I am a huge fan of the original Carnival game. I was wowed right away at some upgrades to the intro screen and graphics. I didn't mind the cheap graphics in the original, because it was all about the game play. I really enjoy the carnival style games, and love simplicity. I was excited to see this game also stayed true to the game play and added some brand new as well as the good games.
You'll enjoy familiar carnie voices and faces, like the narrator, with some new ones, like the new sassy female. Up to four players can play. They have added some new character customizations, but still limited like the first. The game menu screen is like the original, you have five alleyways with new creative titles and games. Find some hidden goodies on the game screens to unlock more fun things to wear.
ADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
Some of the new games are really fun and true to the carnival style games, like Haunted House and Bumper Cars. Those games alone made the purchase worth every penny!
If you like to casually play for a few minutes, or for hours, this game is sure to keep you entertained. Games are addictive! This is fun for all ages.
There are about 33 different games. Some key carnival games included is Bottle Stand Up; raise the bottle with the pole. Fish Bowl Bounce; Pitch a Plate (very similar to throwing the ball at the clown faces).

DIS-ADVANTAGES
A couples games don't seem very responsive. The addition of motion control didn't really seem to make any difference; I feel I wasted the extra money getting the bundle pack.
Repeat games, like Skee Ball, Swish It (Basketball), but not a terrible thing, they freshened them up, so they are not exact, and certainly not a deal breaker.
Long and useless load screens before and after the games. It's like they tried too hard to prove that they could exceed the original, where graphics are concerned. They missed the point of why the game was so popular. They could have kept everything the game, as far as graphics, plugged in the new games, and had a 5 star game! It's annoying, and you'll find yourself skipping a lot.

CONCLUSION
I give this game 9 out of 10. I'm so glad thought, time and effort was put into a sequel to a great kinect game, with a few new bells and whistles. Even more true-to-live carnival style games that will keep you playing for hours.
