My friend and I were so impressed with Wii Carnival, that we snatched this up when we saw it. While its not as fun as Carnival, it still provides a challenge and is entertaining. You can choose between using the balance board or remote on 12 of 15 games. They did a very good job using the balance board to its full potential. It is equally fun either one you use.
Games:
Knife throwing- very fun, pop the balloons without stabbing the dummy in the middle of the rotating wheel.
Trampoline-bounce to collect popped balloons and do tricks
Human cannonball- launch yourself thru various hoops and land on the pad
Silks- Cirque du Solei style acrobatics to catch more balloons without running into other performers
Unicycle- on a tightrope without getting punched off by a giant boxing glove
Elephant balancing- keep your balance while doing tricks
Pony dancing- similar to dance dance revolution, not as fun
Tightrope- keep your balance, do tricks
Monkey dodging- dodge pies, catch bananas, throw pies back at the monkeys, great fun once you get the hang of it
These are the ones I've unlocked so far. The goal is to get the audience to like you and gain fans. The more fans you have the more money you make in order to unlock more games. Worth the money. Probably too hard for the younger group.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun game for the money you pay, November 24, 2009

We got this game for $10 at Costco. So for $10, I didn't expect very much. I would say it is a great value for the price we paid. There are lots of different activities (some better than others), and lots of opportunities to increase the level and unlock different games. The fact that you can use the balance board with it is a plus. The biggest drawback to that, though, is that at the end of each activity in which you use the balance board, the game turns off the balance board, for some reason...then when you want to go back and do that activity (or another that uses the board), you have to go through the process of turning it on again, waiting for it to register, and then step on, let it "sense" you, etc. This process results in annoying waiting time in between EVERY activity. But other than that, it's a game my 6-year old really likes, and I even have fun playing it. Oh, one more thing...I initially looked into buying it for the possibility of it being active enough that I could count it as a "workout". It does not serve this purpose. Just an FYI for anyone else considering it for this reason. Only one of the activities (the trampoline) even remotely gets your heart rate up. However, I would still recommend it as definitely worth purchasing; it earns its $10 in fun.

So the wife and i enjoyed it well enough, but the kids are the ones who seiriously got a kick. Josh and Aaron (ten, and twelve) have been wiiing and balancing boarding with thsi game non stop for three or four days now.
Really enjoy it and have thanked me on three different occasions. Good purchase. Couldn't be happier that my kids are happy.
