Wario Ware
By nated23 (175 reviews) from Birmingham , 27 May 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Although the first wave of Wii games tend to stick with traditional genres such as sports and shooters, Wario Ware offers a flood of uniquely surreal challenges. Ever shaken angry flies off a gorilla’s banana? Or plucked nasal hair from a sleeping lady’s nose, only to see fruit slide out of her nostril? And if you’ve ever blown armies of midgets over the edge of a cliff with a hand fan, your life’s clearly exciting enough without buying videogames.
Following the same template as its Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and GameCube brethren, Wario Ware assaults players with a relentless stream of kooky challenges, each lasting a little under 10 seconds but packed with more ideas, imagination and laughs than a dozen other console hits blended together.
In an ideal world, Smooth Moves would come bundled with the Wii as it’s a superb introduction to using the motion sensitive controls; many of the games use the controller in completely different ways, each of which is explained in graphic detail. And after a few hours using methods such as the ‘umbrella’ (controller turned vertically), ‘sketch artist’ (held like a pencil) and ‘chauffer’ (clutched like a steering wheel), you’ll have all the skills necessary to tackle the other launch titles that demand super-human skills on the newfangled controller.
The unfathomable Japanese gags and pointless cut scenes that can’t be skipped mar an otherwise superb game, but Smooth Moves should be a mandatory purchase for anyone lucky enough to secure a Wii this festive season.- Was this review helpful to you?

It takes time to unlock the multi-player
By NitaT (3 reviews) , 30 Aug 2011This game is great for getting used to using the wii remote and for playing in a group at a party. There are lots of different actions to master, (from a steering wheel to an elephants trunk) to complete the mini-games.
Word of warning - you have to unlock the muli-player game! This is a bit annoying as the game itself is quite repetitive.
It's a fun game but the novelty soon wears off. Definitely aimed at younger players.- Was this review helpful to you?

madness
By beccaandjay (38 reviews) from Manchester , 31 Jul 2009i didn't like this game, it was absolute madness. One minute you have to hold the wii-mote like an umbrella, after 2 seconds you have to switch to hold it horizontally. Then you have to run, then do a cheer. It was way too fast for me, especially after a long day at work. no real story to it either.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good fun, but no lasting appeal
By a customer from Isle of Wight, England , 10 May 2009Good fun to play for a short while, but does not have any lasting appeal - the game is relatively quickly completed. Good to rent and return rather than buy and keep!- Was this review helpful to you?
