Parents need to know
Families can talk about old school amusement parks and fairs. Wonder World isn't about big rides a la Disney -- it's more about the family park near your home which has some old school rides and attractions. Which games or rides did you like playing most? Does this game come close to creating the excitement of going to an amusement park?

Reviewed by Harold Goldberg
Wonder World could have been a very good game if the game makers had simply spent more time on giving the player a user-friendly experience. As it stands, it's a good game with various flaws, not the least of which the lack of instructions on how to progress in the game. Do you have to beat the high score in each minigame to move to a new area of the park? Do you just have to play all the games? Do you have to buy a special prize with tickets the host gives you to proceed? It's never made clear, not in the game and not in the instruction booklet. What a sad, frustrating, egregious error
Is it any good?
While some of the minigames can be repetitive, a few of the five rides feel like the real thing. In Sky Cannon, you are shot through the air and make like a wild acrobat in the sky. In Castle Terror, you'll see spooky things as you race.
How to play
- Playability: Medium. It should be easy, but poor instructions limit the ease.
- Reading Required: Light
- Graphics: Medium. Not the best Wii graphics in the world.
