The option to switch back and forth from event to event has its perks and its downsides. The concept of of this game is that you are a performer in the circus and as you perform various tricks you gain fans and money depending on how well you do. But beware if you do badly you will lose fans as well."

Just like Majesco's recently released Go Play Lumberjacks, Go Play Circus suffers from several of the same flawed design decisions, as well as an overall lack of attention to creating a game that's fun".
NWR writes: "Go Play is a new series of games envisioned by Majesco Entertainment that hopes to achieve the success of games such as Carnival Games and the Mario Party series by presenting easy-to-learn gameplay and themes of wide universal appeal. The first two games under the Go Play banner are Go Play Lumberjacks and Go Play Circus Star. Both games tout Balance Board support as well as fun and gentle intuitive gameplay. Unfortunately, one of thoese games, Go Play Circus Star, is dampened by some poor design choices."
