HOURS of fun....I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
By Michael Minutaglio
Let me start off by saying...I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I love ameusment parks in general, and have tried Carnival Games (LOVE IT) and WonderWorld Amusement Park (HATED)...so I gave this one a try. At first I was a little iffy about it, but once I got into it, I loved it! I love the ADVENTURE mode, doing all the tasks...trying to gain more "stuff". Some of the missions are extremely easy to mildy challenging. But there are so many it seems as if it will take forever to complete them all!! The main "story" is to open up Funville part of the park, and let me tell you (without giving too much away) as soon as I was able to open that land, all of a sudden my missions have gotten really hard!! And I love it!! (Right now I neeed to find someone who used to be a sports star so they can get their picture taken...I for the life of me cannot figure who that is!!).
Please know before buying that you can just walk around and play the mini games if you want...but the main draw is the missions you need to do...and that can take hours of your time. I swear I play and dont even realize that I was playing for HOURS...I have to force myself to put down my remote and spend time w/ the family!!!!
I myself enjoy all the mini games, some alot more than others. The graphics are great, I laugh at the gibberish talk (why so many people complain about mundain stuff boggles my mind) and the story line is alot of fun. Definitaly recomend if you have the time!!!

Not just for kids! So funny!
By Joseph M. Moore
This game is *really* fun.
At first blush, you'd figure it's just a kid's game, but the humor in this game is top notch. It's like going into a Pixar film expecting a kids movie and laughing out loud many times throughout!
The minigames are a lot of fun, too, and a lot of the humor comes out even in the concepts for the games. My favorite is Alien Slime Attack -- you slime little kids with a slime gun so an alien can run over and eat them! (It sounds a lot darker than it is -- the whole game is very tongue-in-cheek and absolutely hilarious. Just wait until you see the "Bunny of the Night"!)
Seriously, check out this game. It's loads of fun.

Fun Park Not Very Fun for Adults
By greenchic
I purchased this mainly because the positive reviews touted the game as fun for all ages. As a thirtysomething adult, I thought that since amusement park and carnival games are still fun to me, the simulations on this game would be too. I was wrong.
I've given "Fun Park" about five attempts across two weeks now, and here are four aspects of it that are not fun:
(1) absurdly long loading time for starting and quitting games. The wait time for a game to load is sometimes longer than it takes to play the actual game
(2) The "over 40 thrilling games" are so similar, that claiming 40 different games is misleading and calling them thrilling is clearly a stretch (i.e. you've played about three, and you've pretty much played them all)
(3) software freezes while saving data, causing you to need to reboot the Wii console in order to restart the game; you will lose data, time, and "fun" during the reboot
(4) Guiding your character around the park is a slow and tedious process. There are dead ends everywhere, and the "hidden surprises" you'll find basically consist of the same three activities over and over and over again.
Maybe kids will enjoy "Fun Park" more than I did. However, in my experience, children have an even slower attention span than adults. I imagine the long loading time, freezing software, and repetitiveness would bore them at least as much as I was.
