Honestly, this game was awful. It has bad graphics and it really isn't very fun at all.

Don't buy this game...get one of the Mario or Zelda games instead!

First let me tell you that i'm a big Nintendo fan making my faviorte game Wario Touch for the Nintedo DS. But the story on this was shorter than the touch and easier. Nintendo though did do somthing wild and crazy again so I rewarded them with that and with some fun mini games. Otherwise I thought it was not one of the best games meaning short story that only took you a few minutes to beat but was very entertaining. So I would recomend this game to any die hard Nintendo fans but not knew comers.

Another cool game in one of the most original series out there

Wario Ware: Twisted (2005.) The third game in the Wario Ware series.

INTRODUCTION:
In 2004, Nintendo released one of the strangest video games they had ever released in their extensive game-making career - Wario Ware, Inc. Mega Microgames! The game was, essentially, a collection of simplistic minigames which all formed together into something that was surprisingly excellent, and definitely one of the Game Boy Advance's sleeper hits of that year. It's not surprising that Nintendo wanted to try their hand at this formula again! And one year later, they did. In this year, they released two new games in the series - Touched, for the DS, and Twisted, for the GBA. Read on for my review of the latter game.

OVERVIEW:
Wario Ware Twisted is a single-player game for the Game Boy Advance, which is comprised of a number of mini games. The game features a built-in gyro sensor, meaning that the game has the gamer rotate the system rather than use the control pad.

REVIEW:
The Wario Ware series is one of the strangest things to happen to the Nintendo universe in a long time. But the amazing thing is that it's actually one of the best! Let's take a look, and see where this game succeeds and fails alike.

-THE GOOD:
Once again, Nintendo has succeeded in creating a game that is ridiculously simplistic, but at the same time, is extremely fun to play. Like other Wario Ware games, this one consists of back-to-back mini games. And the gimmick here is a little different than the other games, due to the cartridge's built-in gyro sensor. Because of it, most of the games involve rotating the GBA. It sounds strange, and believe me, it is, but it makes for an entertaining and certainly a memorable gaming experience. Combine that with plenty of stuff to unlock, and you've got a rather full gaming experience on your hands. If you want a game that is simplistic, unique, and entertaining all at the same time, this game will give you all of those elements and plenty more.

-THE BAD:
Obviously, if you're not into old-school gaming of a very simplistic nature, this game isn't going to be up your alley. But the biggest flaw of this game is the one that plagued the original - YOU CAN'T SKIP THE CUT SCENES. Because of this, during the story mode, you'll find yourself actually doing a lot less actual playing than you'd like to. Combine this with the fact that the cut scenes really convey no serious storyline, and you'll be even more frustrated by their rather frequent occurences. NINTENDO - IF YOU ARE READING THIS, GIVE GAMERS THE OPTION TO SKIP CUT SCENES IN YOUR GAMES! If not for this flaw, the game would be pretty close to perfect.

OVERALL:
Overall, despite the obvious cut scene problem all the Wario Ware games have, this is an entertaining game experience unlike anything else on the market. If you're looking for one of the most unique and entertaining gaming experiences out there, the Wario Ware series is definitely worth checking out.

Great Fun, but drains the battery.

This is a great follow up to the the Microgames. You may even get a bit dizzy on some of the games as they require you to turn your GBA in circles! This cartridge also has a rumble pack in it which really adds to the tilt feature giving you feedback when you tilt it, the downfall of the rumble pack though is that it will drain your battery quicker. I played it for about 2.5 hours on and off the 1st day I bought it and my GBA SP already needs a recharge. All and all a must have in your library.

EDIT: Battery life is not as bad as I 1st noted. Perhaps I just over did the tilting my 1st day trying out the rumble pack. I have been playing it on and off for 4 days and my battery life is still in the green.

Original take on portable gaming; not the best in the series.

Nintendo's WarioWare: Twisted! is yet another in the series of Wario Microgames. For those who aren't familiar with the concept, a Microgame is a five-second (give or take) game that has a single objective. There's no real manual, no instructions. You're just given one or two words and from those words, you have to figure out what to do. ("Slide!" "Stall!" "Only Devil!", etc.) To that end, the game is very fun: you're thrown in with no real instructions and just your wits and reflexes to figure it out. No game is so hard that you can't figure it out without a few repetitions, however, mastery of some will take numerous times.

WarioWare: Twisted! takes it to a new level by adding a gyro and rumble to the cartridge. Instead of manipulating a d-pad, you physically rotate the Game Boy. It's one of the most original and fun ways to control that I've ever encountered.

Twisted also ups the ante over previous games by introducing new gameplay modes, most enjoyably, the ticking-clock mode. Basically, in this mode, you are given a set amount of time. If you complete your microgame early, you bank that extra time. If you don't complete it quickly, you'll draw against what you've banked. Run to zero and you're done. It's a fun change on the four lives mode that is otherwise the standard.

And if you enjoyed unlockables, WarioWare has tons of them. In addition to hidden games and gameplay modes (e.g. Thrilling), there are tons of souvenirs, minigames, figurines, and other stuff you can unlock. And then you can still try to master each of the microgames on the cart.

However, for all of its depth, Twisted does disappoint on some counts. One of the most fun things on the original game was seeing some of the crazy completion animations on a microgame (For instance, the surprised reaction of the now-bald guy in the original's haircut microgame). Since you're twisting and rotating, you don't get a chance to see these reactions as much.

Secondly, while there are some genuinely fun games, there seems to be less raw originality. I found myself enjoying the games that were completely new or fun remixes of some of the WarioWare originals. However, a lot of the games felt like filler this time around. Additionally, despite the loose groupings of Jimmy, Kat, etc., each character felt like they had less of a theme this time than in previous entries.

Finally, on some of the games where you have to use a "shake" motion, if you shake too much, you can jar the cartridge loose (this is on a GameBoy Advance SP model -- I can't say if the regular GBA cartridge slot is more snug).

Overall, it's really enjoyable and a fun way to control the games. My only reservations are that the replay value isn't quite as high as previously and some of the fun touches are lost to the extreme rotation on some levels. These are only minor issues and only deduct the game one star -- it's still better than the vast majority of games you can play today.

You may want to think twice or give this game a try before buying if you're prone to motion sickness in some games or if spinning makes you feel sick.

Buy this game now and make me rich!

None of the other 3 WarioWare games displeased me, and I did not expect this game to do that to me either. When Wario lost at a game, he got mad and threw his GBA at the wall only to find it in pieces. He took it to Dr. Crygor to fix it only to find him throw the destroyed GBA into what looked like a washing machine.
What came out was a GBA with no buttons but Wario could play it by tilting it. Wario thought that he could make a new game to make him rich with this technology, so he assembled his microgame crew to make over 200 new games. At first when you see the box that holds the game you'll think that it's way too big because the box is twice the regular box's size! Well that's because the gyro-sensor on the game is kind of big. If you thought the Yoshi Topsy Turvy(See my review) tilt-sensor was big, the gyro-sensor is twice as big as that. Enough about the size, you want to hear about the game. One thing about the game that I like is how the difficulty increased from the other WarioWare games. But most of the difficulty comes from not how hard the game is but what to do and sometimes a lot is based on luck. All the games are controlled by tilting the GBA(Or SP and DS) and sometimes pressing A. All the games last about 5 seconds and to beat a character you have to beat a certain number of games and then beat the boss. You can beat the story mode in about 3 days but that does not mean rent it, beat it, give it back. In Spindex, you can play games you already played for that character in kind of a practice mode, where the difficulty changes after every game and the speed increases too.
You can clear it if you get to a certain number and like all WarioWare games, if you clear all the games you'll get something special. But I've never done that in any WarioWare game. When you tilt the GBA, the game will rumble kind of like a Gamecube controller. But this takes battery power so I just turned it off in options. This game wouldn't be that great wiithout souvenirs, you can unlock them after you beat a character. There are 140 souvenirs you can collect, souvenirs are things that you can mess around with like piano lessons, certain high score games like air hockey and jumping over the fence with sheep, and other things like toys.

I've only had this game about 4 days, and I'm still going to try and unlock everything. So overall, a great game.

Grrr....

This game was awsome. Exept there was a down side the rumble pack uses alot of your battery and if you play it where theres people around it makes u look like a complete idiot. I liked this game better than i did than wwtouched for the ds. The graphics were also very good for the gba. This game is a must have.

Great Game!

This game is really fun. It kept me entertained until I pretty much beat the game. The replay value is not so great though, especially since you do the same thing over and over again sometimes. However, for its price I think it's quite worth it. You will laugh and spin and have the time of your life when it's new.

Great game!

I really enjoyed this game very much, as I had the other two warioware games. I had a slight problem controlling a few minigames, but with practice the twisting action became rather fun. I liked that with Kat and Ana you could use the A button, and that with Dribble and Spitz you could the A button and the twisting action together. Each board had an interesting theme. I also really enjoyed collecting all the souvenirs. I rated this four stars because I thought the previous warioware games were slightly more fun.
