Great Microgame Collection and Awsome Party Game

Warioware: Smooth Move for the Nintendo we is an amazing game. It makes full use of the Wii remote and also makes an awesome party game. Warioware features over 200 microgames. Microgames are super-short games that usually have one task to get done in them, and then you beat it. For example the task might be to stick a polygonal finger up a giant nose, roll a giant slab of meat to a village, or something as simple as answering a phone. Each of these microgames starts by telling you what "form" or what way to hold the Wii remote, these include holding Wii-mote as if it were an umbrella, holding it like you do when driving a car, and putting the Wii-mote down beside you. There are many more "forms" in this game, each one with a variety of microgames.

Microgame design:
Most of the microgames are designed flawlessly, but a few are hard to understand and leave you wondering "What was I supposed to do?" at the end of them.
All of the games are always different and don't repeat the same task. Each game also has two or three levels, each one getting harder. The third level of some microgames are quite challenging.
Each game is quick and flows into the next one seamlessly. As the microgames go faster it gets harder to switch forms and to figure out what to do in the next microgame, but either by sheer luck or quick thinking it is definitely possible.
Also many of the microgames are based on older Nintendo games. These include games like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Pikmin. These are fun riffs on the original game and feel good to play.

Graphics:
When you're playing a microgame for only 2-8 seconds at a time you want variety and you don't need realistic 3-D. Warioware has exactly that, variety. There are many games with 8-bit graphics or odd polygonal 3-D and not so many games with normal 3-D, even of the Gamecube level. All of these graphic categories add an even more weird tone to the game, but also adds more fun.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is simply amazing awe-inspiring, and marvelous. Everything in the gameplay works great and the Wii-mote responds to your actions immediately. The games all inspire you to stand up and over-act what really only takes a tiny motion. As the games fly by faster and faster it gets harder to keep up with action and also harder to think well. What usually would come easily becomes a race of thoughts and a giant laugh for a crowd.

Multiplayer:
The multiplayer mode in this game is also amazing. You can play with up to 12 players which makes this the ultimate party game. You pass a single Wii-mote around turning it into a hot potato of laughs and enjoyment. As you throw around the Wii-mote the games start faster and faster. This allows for more mistakes, more jokes, and even more laughs.

Single Player:
The way that the single player mode works is by you going to different places on a map. At each place you will play a series of microgames and then, if you complete them all, unlock a new series. Before you play each set of games there will be a short cartoon that sets up the next set of games. All the cartoons are witty and although they have nothing to do with the nonexistent main plot they are quite fun to watch. Like many other reviews have said, the single player is very short, by the time you have the option of watching the credits, you haven't played or unlocked nearly half the microgames and there are still multiple modes to unlock. If you want to unlock all of the microgames it will double the gameplay time of the original single player. This still isn't a particularly long game, but that isn't what it's about.

Overall:
This an amazing game with a wonderful multiplayer mode and a very large variety of microgames. Although the single player is short, the game more than makes up for it in replay value and multiplayer. This game is well worth $50.00 and shows off the Wii's gameplay the best of all the games for the Wii released right now.

Crazy game...

This game is insane, but it's a good insane. The objective of the game is to go across the map to different character's homes and complete their fast series of mini games in a specific set time while not messing up more than four or five times. When you complete a level, another character's location on the map will appear and you are able to continue your travel this way. The mini games are extremely fun and really out there in subject matter. For example, you might have to cut someones fingernails, shake flies off of a banana, pick a nose, hula-hoop, answer a telephone, balance falling blocks, drive a car through a twisty road, fly a plane through a battle zone, etc. This game doesn't lie when it says there are over 200 mini-games, there is always something different and very little repetition. Each character's level you are on has their own little entertaining movie story.

As others have mentioned, this is definitely a party game. The only downside is that you have to beat a certain amount of levels before you can open the multi-player option. However, I still think that even with single player and trading off with each other that the game is extremely fun and entertaining. It is also good for all ages, but the little ones may need help on a few of the mini-games as they get more difficult as the games go along. Even so, I highly recommend it for those out there that don't mind a bit of pointless, plotless fun. Great for kids.

If you like to sit around playing games alone for hours, it's not worth $50

And that's the point. I've gotten my $50 worth in social game time in just two weeks of owning it. How often, when hanging out with adult friends, is it the girlfriends who say, "Let's play video games!"? If you're an overanalytical nerd who actually uses phrases like, "serious gaming" (in reference to Halo or Final Fantasy or Civilization or whatever), you'll hate it. If you have a cultivated sense of humor and know how to leave the house once in a while, you'll appreciate the frantic gameplay and ironic cutscenes.

Quirky and very fun

The game is fun in that its a fast paced game that demonstrates multiple uses for the Wii controller. The micro-games are fairly entertaining and the graphics fit the weird anime/artistic style of the WarioWare series--they also have a few throw backs to classic Nintendo games. As long as people don't cheat, then this will also make a hilarious party game. However, as a single player game it is extremely short (which is kind of a good thing as you need to go through single player to unlock multiplayer). In addition, be aware that if your sensor bar is lower than your head that some of the "mohawk" and "elephant" nose games may prove difficult unless you crouch a little. On a final note, I'm not sure how much this game will stand the test of time as we get more and more games that make use of the Wii remote in better ways (much like WarioWare: Touched for the DS--great at the time, but now there are much deeper games for the DS that make better use of the functionality). Still, it'll be until at least March or so before another "deep" game comes out (Metroid/Mario/Sadness/etc.) so if you've beaten Zelda and want another party game to go with Wii Sports and Rayman then definitely pick this one up.

On an unrelated note... If you haven't heard of Sadness and you're over 18 (or 21 as they say on the developer web site) then you should look it up (it's a black and white horror game by a Polish developer by the name of Nibris). Probably the most intriguing game I've seen in a long time.

Best In Its Series, Yet Best Of Its Console!

This has got to be the best Wii game released yet! Over 200 crazy microgames (205 to be exact) to play! Probably the best Warioware additon so far!

There are only a few...disadvantages that this game has:

1) Lack of Instruction: For every microgame, there are instructions that consist of one or two words and are only shown for a split second before the microgame starts. Most of the microgames have self-explanatory instructions, but a select few are much too vague, and will have you going to the Temple of Form and doing them over and over again until you get them.

2) Lack of "Juiciness": When I say juiciness, I mean how fun a game is to play after doing all of the things the game has to offer. After you unlock all of the microgames, minigames, Elephant buildings, etc., the game is pretty much useless, with the only reason to play it being to see how a certain microgame went.

... Other than that, this game is great! It has me thinking about getting Warioware: Twisted! already!

P.S. If you haven't already noticed, the title screen is like a mini game in itself. Play around with the Wiimote on this screen and see what I mean!

Very addicting

My husband and I just got this game the other day and it is so much fun. We laugh at some of the mini games because they are so funny. Who would have thought we would have been picking nose hairs with a video game. hehe. You will understand once you play the game. Its definately fast paced. Luckily once you play the mini games in the fast paced mode you can go to a differant part of the game that allows you to practice just the ones you are having a hard time with. It definately utilizes what this system is meant to do. You won't regret this purchase.

Fun game

I really enjoyed playing this game. The games are fun, creative, and it is challenging. However, it feels pointless to play it on single player after you complete the game. I haven't really been drawn to it since the levels are finished.

Don't compare apples and oranges!

Well, I understand that this is not a gamer's game. It's not Zelda, and its not going to fulfill that need. What it is is a wacky, off the wall game. Yes, there is not much depth to the game, and is very easy to beat, but I enjoy it for these reasons:
1. It is a great way for people new to the wii to learn about all it is capable of (controller-wise).
2. It is really unique (no other game like it)
3. It is a great party game: fun with people over because you look so rediculous playing it.
Nintendo's website has some screenshot examples that you should see. I'm not telling you to go and buy it because I wouldn't recommend it to everybody. Rent it first. I think it is a must own for a wii owner, but I also think many people will hate it. But please try it. I love it.

Fun & Crazy for EVERYONE

It is fast and crazy and nutty, I like it. Go buy this game.

JCK's Review: Wario Ware Smooth Moves

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for Wii is a great game! It is fun, fast paced, and completely random! It is worth the $50.

Pros:
-Fast
-Unique
-Good use of Wiimote
-Funny
-Great party game

Cons:
-On a couple (not many) of the microgames, there is not enough instruction.

This is a great game to introduce people to the Wii. Many people say that it is too easy to beat, but even after you unlock all of the characters, there are still microgames waiting to be discovered. It is rather short, yes, but there is still replay value. It has great use of the Wiimote, which is nice, and it is intuitive. Have fun playing Wario Ware!
