go play Circus Star
The second game of the go play series focuses on developing your character from
a lowly side show performer to the star of the circus. Success is measured in the amount
of applause you get; the more applause, the more money, and the more activities you can
unlock and engage in. You start out under a circus tent, move on to a bigger arena and
finally to a stadium in Vegas. For the beginner there is a Training Park and for the
experts, Circus Camp Competition. The training sessions are excellent - presenting
images of the controllers and indicating which button to push or how to move them.
Directions are also clearly indicated for the Wii Balance Board.
The game is consists of circus themed mini-games, using the remote/nunchuk or the
balance board. The action is well matched to the game; Human Cannonball, not unlike
Harry Potters Quiddich runs; Pie Dodging will be familiar to those who have used the
Wii Fit. Many games involve balancing, and for these the Wii Board works really
well; Trampoline Acrobatics, Trapeze, Elephant Balancing, Tight Rope Walking. Some
seem better suited for the standard Wii controllers.
The games have three levels of difficulty and you have to become master in all 15 events
before becoming a Circus Star. Up to four persons can play - one at a time, passing the
remote, and in this way, it is less of a party game than go play Lumberjacks.
There is no customizing of characters, you pick one of six ready made performers. Each
comes with five costumes which change according to their acts. The graphics are colorful
and simple but with plenty of detail to give the game a circus ambiance. Music - circusy.
It's an excellent choice for the go play series. Who doesn't want to be in the
circus?
