    Game & Wario’s a game, a label it wears proudly in its name, and it delivers entertainment in spades. Get it.
  2. The very definition of a mixed bag, Game & Wario is innovative, but stingy with it; silly, but a bit of a slog. Beware the bad eggs, cherish the prize ones. [July 2013, p.82]

    Unlike the story depicted in Game & Wario, Wario’s latest game isn’t going to move units. It’s lacking in depth, and while some of the mini-games are stellar, the majority of them are uninspired and dull.

    Even though some games are funny, Game & Wario loses most of the appeal of its predecessors proposing just a bunch of "not-so-special" games.

    Wario, what happened to the fun?

    Wario Ware was once bristling with creativity and energy, fizzing and sputtering with mad, short-form ideas, but Game & Wario is just a bit boring. The selection of games is sparse, and a couple of excellent ones don't make up for the rest.

    A horribly disappointing mini-game collection that has none of the qualities of the real WarioWare titles and won’t entertain even the most game-starved Wii U owner for more than an hour or so.

I've had many "get-togethers" with Game & Wario as the focal point and have had a blast. The pictionary, islands and dancing games are especially hilarious. Wario Ware has never been better. Expand

    I think this game is not as good as it could be, but what we got was actually well thought out and planned. It has great games with good useI think this game is not as good as it could be, but what we got was actually well thought out and planned. It has great games with good use of the GamePad and making the games flow descent. My only gripe is that its a little too short, unless you have friends, all you need to do is get gold which may take 4-7 hours depending on how well you do. I just think for 34 Gamestop and 40 Nintendo Eshop its worth a rent or a buy. Expand

    I wasn't expecting much from Game & Wario but I was pleased with what I got. Is it one of the best games on the Wii U? Probably not but it'sI wasn't expecting much from Game & Wario but I was pleased with what I got. Is it one of the best games on the Wii U? Probably not but it's still good.

    The multiplayer games are easy the best of the bunch with all four of them being engaging. Yet that's the bad thing. There's only four multiplayer games with the rest being slightly story-focused single player games. Only a few of these single-player games are actually fun with standouts being Ashley which stars the titular witch going through a land of candy, Kung Fu in which a karate student named Young Cricket has to jump through an obstacle course, and Gamer where a kid named 9-Volt has to play games on his system while avoiding the sight of his mom. The rest of the single player games are either confusing to control or boring.

    Overall, Game & Wario is by no means a bad game. Most of its games are good but some of the others just leave a bit to be desired. The game does show off the GamePad well though. It's quite possibly the game to showcase the system best. If you're looking for a simple fun time, buy this game. If you're looking for a game along the lines of Wii Party U, you might want to look further.

The same personality ofWhile technically not a WarioWare game, it exists in the same universe. And in that respect, its a bit of a let down. The same personality of a WarioWare game is there, and that's really the best part. MicroGames are replaced with significantly less MiniGames which can only be played alone. While some games, such as Taxi, are standouts most seem uninspired and dull and simply not fun, more of a chore to play. The potential is there, so here's to the hope that a traditional WarioWare game makes it into this generation of gaming. Expand

    Не стану врать, наиграл я немного. Заспидранил одиночный режим и немного побывал в мультиплеере. Но она реально чувствуется так, будто сделана вспешке. Да, там очень много уникального опыта, да и в мультиплеер очень весело играть. НО! Как-то взрослому человеку не хочется в неё возвращаться, а игра на компанию ну ООООЧЕНЬ мало. Но я бы все равно рекомендовал её опробовать
