Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Review – Nintendo Wii

Similar to Rayman Raving Rabbids, I wanted to keep playing Wario Ware just to see what would happen next. I wanted to meet the new characters, learn the new moves, and progress through the storyline. Some of the tasks that you are required to complete are just ludicrious. Not to spoil any surprises, but here is a short list of what Wario Ware has in store. I’ll let you use your imagination to figure out what these verbs might be paired with:

broil, pick, flip, return, drink, swat, scrub, drive, dump, pick up the trash, insert, trace, fly, fan

There are many others, but discovering them yourself is half the fun!

I really thought Wario Ware had dumb graphics. But, after playing the game a little, I noticed that the graphics complimented the gameplay considerably well. The graphics are a lot like anime/powerpuff girls. Thick lines, bright colors, and two-dimensional movements are what you can expect. Wario Ware does look good and offers some of the clearest graphics of any Wii game available right now. Sometimes simple isn’t such a let-down.

If you’ve ever played Elite Beat Agents for Nintendo DS, you’ll know exactly what type of music to expect. The music is specific to which level you are playing, and none of the music is exactly the same as any other track. The music is a mix of disco, drum beats, and pop rhythms. Sometimes there are random sound effects like cat meows or cheerleader shouts inserted into the middle of the track, but overall the music is creative and helps keep you upbeat and excited about the game.
