Wario Ware: Smooth Moves…First Impressions January 14, 2007

Wario

Well, I got this game on Friday and have to say that it’s not too bad. The main story will take you about 1 hour to blast through and will teach you all the different ways to hold the remote as well as how to play.

You have to play through all of the single player before you unlock the multiplayer mode which is a pain because it’s really a party game and you don’t really want to sit and play through it while everyone is watching.

The mini games are good and innovative but they start to get very similar, there is also not as much replay value as you got from the Gamecube and DS versions.

The single player offers you the standard characters and some stand alone minigames which gives you a lot of choice. The multiplayer offers 4 modes and 3 minigames, darts being the best.

One annoyance is the fact that all the players must use the same remote which is stupid since its fast paced and you are supposed to put the strap on which at times is not possible at times.

Overall it’s a good game and great with some friends around, but I’m not really sure it’s worth paying full price for. It makes great use of the Wiimote and is still fun but I feel that they could have done so much more with it.

  • the darts game is good, not played the monkey ball version so i cant compare. you have a circle that gets big and small quite fast and you have to aim the wiimote at the screen and thrust it forward when the circle is small for the most accuracy and throw straight. pretty basic but still a good laugh.
  • Yeah, thanks for the honest review.
    How involved is the dart game?
    Is it like Monkey Ball or is there more to it then that?

    Thank you for the honest review, Boggie. You might have saved me some $$. I'll probably rent it.
  • It's supposed to come out on the 15th, this coming Monday (tomorrow). I just checked BestBuy, and it says the 16th (Tuesday) instead. Other places are still on 15th, so I'll order from there, plus it cuts off $6 from the original price and free shipping. This is the game I've been waiting for.
