This is a great game!! I read a couple of reviews on this game before I bought it and was disappointed to find that noone liked the game after they bought it. My kids love this game...I have a 6 year old son and a 14 year old son...so this game is for all ages. There are lots of fun activities that the characters can do with your help....like flying out of a canon....riding a trike with a clown(race)....and riding a unicycle on a tightrope. There are too many activities to mention them all....but if you complete the activites your receive tickets to buy prizes....circus prizes. It really is great fun....my son is always calling me into the room to watch him play and earn prizes. This is good, clean fun for all ages.

Very surprised to see good reviews. This game is lame. Very unresponsive to controls. I got it because it had some games that work with the Balance Board - the functionality was just very poor. I breezed thru trying each game and didn't find a single one that I found even mildly entertaining.

My 3 yr old loves this game and can play every mini-game in it. He loves playing "clowns" as he calls it. My 8 year old enjoys playing it with him.

After seeing that reviews here on Amazon were mostly positive and that the same company that made the entertaining Carnival Games made this, I bought it.

Mistake.

The controls are TOO responsive even after some self-troubleshooting. The convoluted control schemes don't make things more fun; give me simple. The games are simply not entertaining.

Those looking for some easy-to-pick-up mini-games should look elsewhere or even at the superior Carnival Games.

Got this (and also Go, Diego, Go!: Great Dinosaur Rescue) for my son's 4th birthday, as he seems ready to start playing a little bit of video games now (e.g. he loves the Lego Star Wars games).

The game is really clunky though, and very frustrating.

* You can't use your Mii, you have to set up a whole new character to play

* In setting up the character, they have an ABCDE keyboard, not a QWERTY one. (Obviously the game designers have never read _The Psychology of Everyday Things_ :-)

* The actual game controls are very fiddly, and in many cases there's an apparent disconnect between what you're trying to do with the Wii Remote and what's actually happening on screen.

In the end, he was still basically happy with it -- he's a 4 year old, he loves the circus, he's easy to please -- but he was obviously getting pretty frustrated with it, and kept wanting his parents to help him.

The Diego Dinosaur game ended up being much more age-appropriate, and indeed that's the one he wants to keep playing now. Maybe he'll come back to the Ringling Bros game later when he's more proficient with how to play.

This is a great game for families. My children are 3 and 4 and thoughly enjoying playing this games especially the 4 year old. My husband who is 27 also enjoys it and loves playing it as well!

My son got this for his 6th birthday some of it requrires some skill he does not quite have yet but it is fun!!!

My daughter loves this game & the price was right at Amozon for Ringling Bros.,& Barnum &Bailey Circus game for wii

Ringling Bro. & Barnum & Bailey Circus is a business built on the ignorance of a cheering crowd. Animals are "trained" with whips, electric prods & bull hooks. When the show is over, animals are chained in rail cars and hauled as unimportant cargo from city to city.

In the game where is the truth? Where are the bull hooks, to gouge into the faces, legs, behind the ears of the helpless elephants? Where is the dust, the "trainers" use to cover the blood & open sores on these magnificent animals?

While this is JUST a game....it carries the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey name. Every time this game is purchased you are giving money to a company that is cruel, neglectful and down right abusive to animals.

I am not some animal rights freak, I AM AN ELEPHANT ADVOCATE and will speak for them.

Be an ELE friend....Don't buy this game!
