Games Review: Carnival Games DS

DS, 2K Play, £19.99

Originally released on the Wii, this compendium of fairground sideshows makes its debut on the DS this week.

I think it actually works better on the DS, where its bright but simplistic graphics are put under less pressure to perform. Each mini-game involves a combination of blowing, tapping, speaking or drawing. While this won't stand up to long sessions of play, short blasts of it are a lot of fun and it's great for younger DS owners in search of distraction.
