    Made in Wario confidently sticks two fingers up at an industry that seems to have lost its sense of humour … it displays a refreshing intertextuality that manages to poke fun at and celebrate videogames. [June 2003, p. 103]
  2. There is nothing to be learned or mastered, other than your own quick reflexes, and while it is unfortunate that so many of the games are too similar and don't offer enough gameplay variety, the actual experience of working through them is both challenging and original, with comedy value and lush visuals to boot.

    And what I mean by strange is damn good. It's virtually impossible to put down.

    Absolutely astounding amount of content in this game. Sure, it doesn't really have a story, but it has an amazing amount of replayability.Absolutely astounding amount of content in this game. Sure, it doesn't really have a story, but it has an amazing amount of replayability. Every microgame is fun and addictive and you can try and beat your own high score. Unlockable minigames like Sheriff and Dr Mario (Wario) will make it so that you will keep returning. A great pick up and play/time wasting game as well. One of my favourite GBA games. The graphic are good for GBA and have a somewhat quirky charm. Full Review »

    Some cool, great music and the cutscenes are fun, but the singleplayer campaign is designed to make you fail and try over and over again. It'sSome cool, great music and the cutscenes are fun, but the singleplayer campaign is designed to make you fail and try over and over again. It's a short game if you run through it, and the gameplay is too simple (timed single button presses) to make it fun by itself. The fun consists of your thought process in the moment you try to figure out the task. The artists/designers did a great job to try to make the game stand out, but what you're doing isn't really special in any way. Would be a really fun game for kids (bizarre kid friendly humor) if it wasn't punishing. No real reason to seek this out in 2013. A fun celebration of 'style over substance' nevertheless.

    Quating Wario himself: " EXCELLENT!!" This game is too darn weird, yet so fun to play.
