3.0 out of 5 stars
This is a mini-game product featuring 20 games that immerse you into the carnival experience. Upon inserting it I immediately got the Kinect Adventures feeling, though Carnival Games: In Action does fall shy of being on par with Kinect Adventures. Though it's basic in gameplay as one could expect from mini-games it does provide a lot of fun when done in a group. Solo play quickly turns boring, but with a group of people the fun is extended. So my 4-star rating for fun is exclusively for groups/families/parties where the craziness of the games themselves will provide a lot of laughter.
GAMEPLAY
The interface is easy to maneuver and you can easily jump into the action. Even if you are the only one signed in to play at the moment, a second person can easily jump in or opt out during gameplay. My friend joined in a few times and this was done very well, unlike other Kinect titles were the co-op can be somewhat of a juggle between "are you in or not?"
CONS
- Solo play will get boring pretty quickly. This is a party game for family and friends.
- 20 mini-games feel too little after a while. A few more games would have been nice.
- It will get old soon if you play it regularly. I advise interchanging this with games like Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports for a varied occasion of fun.
PROS
- Games are quite fun and easy to understand...and enjoy.
- Menus/Interface operates smoothly.
- Kinect makes better use of space and even with two players you can comfortably stand up close to the sensor without needing a huge area.
In general it was not a bad buy and I will keep it in the collection for those moments when we are looking for something whacky or when kids have their friends over.

I was hoping for a little more than what this game had to offer. Overall the game play is OK and can be a bit of a laugh but it gets boring having to take turns. Would of been nice to have more games where two people can play at the same time.

In the overall I was bit disappointed with the game. Good for the kids no sot interesting fro grownup people. After half an hour playing the intros between the events starts to became really annoying and seems to take forever. There are a few games that the engine is based in the correct time o make a movement and not if you do the correct movement, more like a reflex game, and since the kinect have a quite good lag I don't think this kind of games works very well.
Another thing that I did not enjoy, but it maybe a bad habit acquire playing kinect sports is the fact that in some events on this game you don't see well what you are doing, for example there is one that is more or less basketball, trowing a ball to the basket but you don't see the ball in your hands (bowling in kinect sports allow you to see that) so knowing if you are aiming correct is almost impossible to know.

Suitable for all ages
Not too difficult for little ones and still exciting for the older ones, controls are sometimes a bit off, but it doesn't really affect the gaming experience.
