The single player mode features hand-animated cutscenes that tell a story of two children bringing an abandoned carnival back to life as they complete and unlock new games.
Each game can also be played in turn-based multiplayer by passing the Move controller between players, and some games allow two player simultaneous play.
As players progress through the story mode, they earn tickets that can be used to purchase toys from an in-game prize booth.
The toys can be used as augmented-reality props while taking pictures with the PlayStation Eye in the photo booth area.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Carnival Island for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Carnival Island to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2011.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
