A game I can relate to...

This is a good solid 3-D side-scrolling game, with a nice feature that you can continue from death as many times as you can divide your gold count by 100, and if you get too low on gold, it's easy to redo an easy area to pick up LOTS of gold again. I haven't played the whole game, but I noticed the bosses I've run into are pretty easy, plus Wario has a cool assortment of moves and fighting techniques. I especially LOVE to duke it out high-speed in the ring matches that occasionally show up. The only real incentive to redoing an area is getting precious items you missed earlier.

On a 5-star scale:

Graphics - 4.0
Sound - 4.5
Controls - 4.5
Replay value - 3.5

Another top-notch game from Nintendo

Since the first "Mario Kart" on the N64, Wario has been my favorite Nintendo character. This is the reason why "Wario World" was my first game purchase after acquiring a GameCube. Sure, he's mean, selfish, and is a poor loser, but that's the charm of his not-so-nice personality. He's a great evil opposite to Mario.

This game, "Wario World", is much like "Super Mario 64", but with better graphics and with Wario instead of Mario. Like all the good Nintendo games, this one has lots of creativity, mixed with clever design and a bit of humor. The key to the greatness of any Nintendo game is in the details. Little details in the sounds, the character movements, and even the humor, are what set the high standard we've come to expect from a Mario-related game.

The game is shorter than some other Mario-related games, but it was long enough for me. The way I play games, and with as many games as I've purchased that I've yet to play, the length of this game was just right.

Another Classic from Nintendo and Treasure I.N.C.

I played this game at the 2003 E3 Expo in L.A.,And all I can say is that this game is an excellent work of gaming at its finest. If you enjoyed the Wario Land series for GBC and GBA you will like this because it captures the feel of the games in 3D form. With unique and frentic gameplay and superb levels,characters,and graphics Nintendo has a winner. Plus Nintendo co-developped it with Treasure Games one of the most talented gaming companies which previously worked on the critically acclaimed Castlevania,Contra,and Ikaruga games. And with the Nintendo team including Shigeru Miyamoto creator of Mario and Zelda on it too, this will be one of the best games on the Gamecube and also one of the best games overall of 2003.

um....fun while it last, which isnt very long.

i rented this game today & i am already in the third world (there are only four worlds; played it and an hour and a half)
why would anyone like to have 2 hours worth of entertainment for for 50 bucks? this game is very very repetitive, i mean, all of the creatures in different worlds are the same, in the second world, there is a skeletal dinosaur kinda bird thing which lifts you of the ground & spins you around appears in the first world too, only with skin, its the same ...thing!!! nintendo did this with all the creatures!! its not all that bad, the graphics arent exactly what you would call magnificent...but they arent at all bad. definetly rent this game, or wait until one of your friends made a foolish purchase and borrow it from them...its not the cash im worried about, its just that nobody in the right mind would like to waste their time & money on games which are overrated.

Does it have to be hard?

I really did not know what to expect from this game. I have heard that it was easy and so far thus be the case. I do not think that a game has to be hard to be a good game. I was pleased with the graphics in this game and story behind it. I had to smile when I heard Wario say "have a rotten day" after throwing his enemy out of sight. I have never seen Mario throw an opponent during his adventures, and I do not wish too. With Wario's character the role fit nicely and even had a humorous side. I would recommend this game to anyone.

Great Game!

Wario has always been Nintendo's best "anti-hero", and you couldn't ask for a better game for his true console debut. The plot is a strong one: it seems Wario's infinite greed got the best of him when he added a giant black jewel to his hoarde - that jewel was evil and cursed, and before Wario knew what was happening, it destroyed his castle and turned all his treasure into monsters. Now he's got to get it all back.

Wario makes his way through four wacky and weird worlds, defeating equally weird monsters with odd moves like the Corkscrew Conk, the Wild Swing-Ding, and of course, his trusty Piledriver. The monsters that were once his riches provide an array of challenges (you're sure to get a kick out of the Mean Emcee). Along the way he solves dangerous puzzles and even makes a few friends, in the form of the Spritelings, helpful fairies who that evil jewel has imprisoned.

The game is fun and enjoyable - the only fault is that it's short. You might want to wait until the price drops a little before buying it. Of course, if you're a true game fanatic who wants to find EVERY LAST ONE of Wario's treasures and rescue every last Spriteling (and he'll be happy if you do) the game will be even better.

This game ain't for kids only

It's fun and CANNOT BE FINISHED IN 3 HOURS. Unless you got a strategy guide or some kind of cheat. It has many hidden things you have to unlock to advance, and believe me, is hard to make the tricky moves. You don't just have to kill the main monsters but find all the hidden jewels, hearts, etc. This game is not only for kids, but adults will have an entertainig time as well. Well made and hilarious; you have to get it.

That David person must be a three year old.....

Ignore the person before me who has the literary skill of a three year old, they have no idea about anything. Mario and Wario have NEVER appeared in the same action/adventure game ever, because Wario has never been on a console game, except for Mario Party 1-4. Having imported it from Japan already, I can give you an accurate description. Although the game is short, it has great levels chock full with detail. It has a hysterical cynical view, I have cracked up many times. The graphics are average for Gamecube. (They are better than anything the inferior graphic card of the PS2 could muster up.)
Overall, I give this a nine out of ten.

very fun but gets killed shortly (im a kid)

this game rocks! levels are filled with enememies continously comin and trust me beating them up is funny and fun. you can ground pound the seemingly idiotic baddies and laugh along side with ur friends. u can pile drive them yes its a wrestling move. u can throw them off the stage or spin them to kill other enemies or activate stuff. a tottally wacky game with enviroment that is cool. tons of collecting and smashing. also great for wario hes in 3D. although at the end of the day its just another collecting. and is very short it can be beat in about 3 hours. because of that i cannot reccomend you should buy it just rent. but if its for a child or your a serious fan get it. still its short.

This game is worth having

This game is very fun and addicting. It is not very hard to solve. If you want to get every little thing in the game, you may have a bit of trouble with a few things, but it is easy overall. This game is definitely worth buying.
