Very fun, entertaining, interactive, definitively needs space for jumping, troting, moving, and having lots of fun!!! We all like having a try because it attracts like a magnet all people around.

We bought a Wii back in September, and were looking through some of the "Best of 2007" lists for new games. To my surprise, WarioWare: Smooth Moves made the list. I read up about the game and was intrigued enough to put it on my wishlist. I am by no means a serious gamer - I gravitate toward Nintendo specifically for the reasons hard core gamers avoid it. I like cutesy graphics and silly fun - that to me is what makes a game. WarioWare is excellent. It makes me laugh, between the anime style cut scenes and the silly moves you have to do (quick, saute the veggies, hula hoop, etc). I think the greatest part of the game may be the sheer entertainment value of watching someone ELSE play - my almost 4-year old son stops what he's doing to come sit and watch. On a whim, one evening I handed him the remote and let him try the first level. To my surprise, he made it through with no help!

This game represents the best of the Wii - quick games that make excellent use of motion control, and the ability to bring a group of all ages together with a smile.

One of the best party games for the Wii!

This game is one of the best party games available for the Wii. The game is specially designed to exploit the Wii motion sensing remotes and no other game does it as good as this one. The story line and the games are totally wacky and hilarious. This is a game for all ages and is a 'must-have' for Wii parties.

little kids may find this hard to play

After our family played this game for awhile, we found it more difficult for our smaller children to keep playing. The speed of the game was getting faster and they had a hard time keeping. Was still a fun game and very busy to watch.

True to Warioware Series

Smooth Moves is very quirky and does not make much logical sense. It has an abstract Japanese style to it with silly anime cutscenes before each series of microgames. Yet this newest installment of the Warioware series is merely staying true to its strangely entertaining roots.

The single player game on Smooth Moves is very short. It only really takes 3 hours to beat the whole game, but after doing so you unlock 2 multiplayer games; darts and the classic Wario Ware game. After you play each of those games once, you unlock other multiplayer games. In the end, I think there are 8 multiplayer games, some of them better than others. There are also some additional single player minigames to be unlocked such as brick tennis, a balloon capturing flying game, target-shooting, brick balance, etc. They are all pretty fun in my opinion, though graphically they take a very minimal, 2D approach.

If you're looking for a graphically enhanced single player game, stay far away from Smooth Moves. However, if you enjoy a wacky party game and want to experience the different ways a Wiimote can be used, Smooth Moves may be a good buy.

Worthy addition to a great series

Im a huge fan of warioware, and this game certinly isnt a letdown. You use thw wii-mote to do all kinds of crazyness. Many members of the warioware cast are here. Wario, Mona, Jimmy, 9-volt and their friends all appear here. Some new people are here too, like Jimmy P., Penny, and Young Cricket all make their first appearence.

You have to hold the wii-mote a different way for each game. For example, holding it sideways is called, 'boxer' and holding it like a pencil is 'sketch artist.' Before each game, they tell you how to hold it. This however does not interupt the gameplay at all.

Another cool part is the inclusion of miis. In one game, for example, your mii must arm wrestle another mii. Kind of cool.

My friends complain its too hard to figure out what you have to do in each game. But its easy to figure it out if you actually *gasp* USE YOUR BRAIN! you may not beat a level the first time through, but once you get used to it, you'll do fine.

This makes a great party game. It has multiplayer, in which you pass around the wii-mote and take turns playing. Also, when your friends aren't playing, you get to laugh at them. Lots of fun for everyone!

WarioWare: Smooth Moves - Either hilariously fun or utterly boring

This is my first time playing a WarioWare game, but I highly suggest you buy it for the Wii.

You see, in Smooth Moves, you hold the Form Baton (Wiimote) in various "forms" or poses. There's the Elephant, the Handlebar, the Big Cheese, and many more!

The Story Mode cutscenes are filled with cartoony animated pictures. After a few seconds, the minigames start. First a Form Card (Elephant, Handlebar, etc,) will pop-up, showing you the correct way to postion the Form Baton. Then a quick 5-second minigame starts. Usually it's self explanatory, such as hitting a bell or picking a nose. Other times it will give a quick instruction such as "Sweep!" or "Raise white flag!" Then you frantically try to complete the action in a matter of seconds.
If you don't you lose a life. If you do, well, you dont lose a life. You have four lives. Every now and then you will be presented with a new form card. An illustration shows you how the basic action, and a deep peaceful voice instructs you how to hold it and puts in a funny line at the end (eg. ...the noble sport of thumb wrestling). After a while you get to the boss level, which basically is a slightly longer minigame. Once you complete this, you finish the stage and an endscene concludes it. After that, you zoom out onto a map and 1 or more stages pop up from out of the ground.

After completing each stage in the Story Mode (single-player) you finish Story Mode. This is the only reason why I rate this game four stars, as the Story Mode ends way too quickly. But you can go back and play more, because even though you finish the story, there are still minigames yet unplayed. And several stages use the Balance Stone (Nunchuck) so the are still things not done yet. But best of all completing Story Mode unlocks Multiplayer Mode.

Here you can choose how many players (2-12) and then start playing. First player has to try and complete a minigame, then hurriedly passes the remote to the next player before his/her turn starts. This is by far the most fun part of Smooth Moves, though it is unpractical to use the wrist strap because of the passing around so much.

The reason I love this game is that you don't know which minigame will pop up next! Will I have to run to the finish line or make a wooden ring for Saturn? Will have to put the remote on my nose or on my head? The randomness is why it is loved by some and hated by others.

Bottom line, most kids will find Smooth Moves great fun, while most adults won't get it's 2-D cutscenes and unconnected 5 second minigames. Which is why I rate this game 4 stars. A must for all Wii shelves.

The game is fun and has great music. Very short and leaves you sort of dry. A good rental, but for 50 beans, it is not, I repeat, Not worth it.

I love these quirky games. But truthfully, the wii remote is very innovative here. But, the GBA version has more replay value. I beat it in 2 hours or less, and, in one day.

Consider that is $25 an hour w/ no replay value. Renting for $8 bucks, not bad.

A great edition to the series! BUT COME ON!!! WAY TOO SHORT!

(I could be writing in the adult forum, but I'm too lazy)

I just recently got a wii and I immediately realized what I wanted most. I wanted warioware! Some people probably don't understand it, but I love it! (especially because I have a short attention span). I had played every other warioware game on every other console, and I knew that this would be a great addition. Within just 10 minutes, I had gotten the game, gotten home, and opened the package. On first glimpse, it seemed pretty easy, but then, when more positions come into play, the challenge ramps up. (never getting too challenging though.) The sheer randomness of the game play had me hooked from start to finish, which really wasn't that long. That is the only major flaw in the game. TOO SHORT. I heard myself saying, "WHAT? THAT'S IT?!!!!" Beside this, the only flaws are that sometimes the remote is inaccurate, and it was sometimes frustrating to lose a game for not knowing what to do. Overall, I had fun playing this game. I got me up off my seat like it promised (if only for a little while) delivered. I would definitely reccomend this game to anyone with a wii. And until the next installment in the series, I will be praying that the next game will be longer.

Exercise for my young one

If there is one redeeming value for gaming I must say it is the fact that some games are designed to be played while standing up. In short this is the essence of the Wii (although stand-up games like DDR and Guitar Hero are available for other consoles). Seeing my son jumping up and down and doing some crazy moves makes me want to give this 5 stars for anti-obesity.
