Amazingly Fun for All Ages

This has got to be one of my favorite games for the Nintendo GBA. It is completely addictive, fun, and even raises your intelligence!

OK I can't be exactly sure about that last one, but I do a lot of research on how to keep your mind sharp and alert, and this game is PERFECT for just about everything they say. In essence, this game includes a TON of minigames and you are never given instructions for what to do. At most you get one or two words to give you a hint - like "push" or "shoot". Then you have only a tiny amount of time to look at what is shown to you and figure out how to play the game. Talk about testing your grey cells!

The amazing part of this game is that the unit has a motion sensor in it. You turn the actual gameboy unit, and the game reacts. Some games involve spinning - a skater moves out onto the ice and you give the unit a quick "whip" to get her spinning like a top. Some games involve pushing a button, to fire an arrow for example. Many games involve spinning AND pushing, like when you turn the system to point to a given sushi piece and hit the button to eat it.

The collection of games is just amazing. You unlock them as you go. Each game has multiple levels, so as you move on in difficulty, the games get harder and harder. There is HUGE fun in replaying the games, and they get incredibly quick and tricky near the end of the game.

In addition to all the fun games, there are a ton of special items to unlock - from toys to more mini-games, from random accessories to silly gadgets.

There's even a set of mini Nintendo games, like Zelda, complete with the theme music! It's really quite fun. If you really like a particular mini-game, you can go back and replay just that mini-game as much as you wish.

Every person I've shown this to - from kid to aged adult - has LOVED the game. Some of the adults I know are really addicted to it now. Highly, highly recommended!

I loved the microgames in previous Wario titles, but these are a whole lot of fun mainly due to the gyroscope (a sensor that knows when you are turning the GBA). I think this one beats the DS version TOUCHED simply beause it is easier to grasp and use without the stylus. Playing this one in public will get you some odd looks too. Lots of secrets to unlock. Definitely replay all the levels several times - there's a lot to unlock in here. This is a great game for all ages and all skill levels. That's the real draw. The whole family can fight over who's turn it is.

Excellent!! Nintendo...Redefining the Videogame

Though they have always been committed to the philosophy of constantly redefining the videogame experience, from the early days of the Power Glove to the recently released Nintendo DS, Nintendo has always tried to reinvent video gaming whenever possible. Warioware: Twisted represents another example of Nintendo's innovative mind at its best. I just bought the game yesterday and I can honestly say it delivers on is game packaging promise "It's easy to pick up but hard to put down". Just like Twisted's predecessor WarioWare Microgames, Twisted presents the player with a rapid fire barrage of mini-games but this time with a new "twist" (pun intended). Instead of using the gameboy's directional pad to control motion you now turn the gameboy itself much as you would a steering wheel to play most of the games. As "gimmicky" as this may sound, Twisted (furnished with a gyro-motion sensor) executes this feature flawlessly and makes the game ridiculously fun!! Expect the same crazy characters from the original but the graphics have improved to take advantage of GBA's capabilities. If you liked the original WarioWare or are interested at all in a new experience on your aging GBA, check this one out!! You won't regret it.

Wow

I am a VERY, VERY casual gamer.
I usually never beat a game before trading it in for another, in fact just yesterday I traded in a few old XBox games for this jewel. I put it in a few moments later and havn't stopped playing yet! I already beat it and am working on getting all souveneirs. This twirky and truly innovative game is the best handheld game I've played since Super Mario Advance...(I am a Mario NUT)
Also I've played it for the DS in the store and spent litterally 3 hours playing! Buy this game.

Better than Kirby Tilt and Tumble!

When I was 17, I got a game for Christmas called Kirby Tilt and Tumble. It was a Game Boy Color game, but I had a GBA at the time. It was pretty awkward to play the game...

Then a year later I became a Wario Ware fan, and own almost every Wario Ware game known to man, and almost own a DS and Wario Ware Touched. I waited a long time to get this game, and now I finally have it! I really enjoy how you can turn the GBA around and not use the buttons, although on Kat and Ana's stage, you don't have to turn the GBA around, but you do have to hit the A button. But for some games, you have to turn the GBA around and use the buttons. Nonetheless, I really enjoy Wario Ware Twisted. NOTE: Don't play this game in the car, because the pak will detect vibrations!

if you like mega micro mini games you'll love twisted

THIS GAME LIKE THE LAST IS INSANLY ADDICTIVE! THOUGH THE TWISTING PART TAKES AWHILE TO GET USED TO I BELIVE THIS IS THE BEST GBA GAME THAT'S CAME OUT. IT'S PRETTY HARD TO PROGRESS THOUGH THE LEVELS NOW. LIKE ON THE FIRST ONE I GET UP IN TO LEVEL 80 BUT NOW I CAN'T GET UP TO LEVEL 30. I'M GLAD THEY DID THAT, BECAUSE IT PUTS MORE REPLAY VALUE ON IT. THE EXTRA UNLOCKABLES ARE GREAT. THERE ARE MANY NEW GAMES TO UNLOCK AND OTHER STUPID THINGS LIKE A YOGA MAN WHO KISSES HIS OWN BUTT (UNLOCK THE YOGA MAN AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN) OVERALL THIS IS WORTH ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY(AS LONG AS IT'S UNDER $40) BUY IT NOW!!

A game to make people stare at you.

I've just been able to put down the game after 4 hours of playing with only a break for dinner. This game is insanely fun, offering a better challenge than the original WarioWare game. There is a tougher learning curve, until you get the feel of the sensor and know how much to twist the game. There are also a couple of slight problems with centering the sensor: while it recenters for every microgame, this requires you to remember to hold the Game Boy properly (not difficult at all). It also can be misaligned in the middle of a micro game if you make large twists, but these don't require much adjustment on the player's part either.
There are plenty of unlockables to find, and many of those are junk (how many kaleidoscopes do you neeed, anyway?), but there are also a few amusing ones, mostly the marathon versions of the microgames.
Regular GBA users will have a slight advantage over SP or DS players, as a few games will require that you turn the system completely around; this is also not a big deal.

Twisted is incredibly addictive!

Okay, so I kinda bought this on impulse, without reading any reviews first. I mean, I had seen the DS version "touched" and loved it, but don't have a DS! "Twisted" has the exact same appeal as "Touched", and is just as fun, if not more! No stylus, just turn your gameboy! The gyro sensor is really sensitive, and you hardly push any buttons on this game. It's a perfect game to killl 5-10 minutes...but also pretty hard to put down if you have a lot of time to kill! The challenge doesn't seem to end, because you keep trying to want to beat your own scores, earn more souveneirs, and turn, turn turn! It's the best gameboy game I've come across in a long while. Totally original. I'm addicted. I love the mini-mini-game format. Buy it. You won't be disappointed! =)

Twisted sick

This game is addictive! FUNFUNFUN.I'm here to tell some wacked things about this game. First if you play Jimmy DR. Crygor Orbolon and Warioman Long enough you will get Fronk GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are hyper fast games by fronk. You can tell you get these when the music turns wierd. Play designers over to get new games and soveniers. Play Nine and eighteen volt to get the hilarious MONA PIZZA RECORD.If you beat wario man pay attention to his hysterical cut scene. I'm firing everyone. all in all this is a completley strange and pointless micro game bash. (What fun!)

Are you thinking about trying the waters as a first time gamer?, Are you a hardcore gamer that is looking for something different? Or are you somewhere in between wanting something to consume your mind?!? Well......Nintendo has a game for you!!! WarioWare Twisted is an absolute when it comes to fun and different. The game has a gyro-sensor and so you use no other controls except for the occasional but for an action. You twist and turn your GBA/SP/DS to get it to do what you need, which is a multitude of mini games lasting no more than a few seconds long in length.

WarioWare MegaGames set the industry on its ear when it came out several years ago. By the way, when you finish Twisted, the original can still be found and is HIGHLY recommended. The goal is to complete several "mini" games, from twisting your airplane to fly out between hanger doors. To twisting so your legs match the syncro swimmers next to you. But as you go the faster and faster you have to complete your mini game.

I originally purchased the first WarioWare for my wife, we were looking at a long trip and she usually likes to take her GBA along to make the hours go buy. This one is no different, except for she makes me take corners wide as not to affect the gyro sensor and throw her game off. We almost need two of this game, we are always trying to play it when the other has it. The WarioWare series of games always get high reviews, the first one is deemed a classic and I am sure this one will be one too given enough time.
