    Perfect Wii U party game, great with friends. The single player also has tons of good minigames that convinced me that the Wii U gamepad is something special.

    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 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 40I think this game is not as good as it could be, but what we got was actually well thought out and planned.

    This game is a great value it might not be the Wario Ware game that I waited for since finishing Wario Ware Smooth Moves. But is still a very good game despite that with tons of great games (excluding skiing), tons of content on each game, and it only costs $40.

    overall really fun game, there was only 4 multi-player games but they were all really fun, single player games were very fun and creative ways to use the game pad, and still fun to pass around with your friends. not as good as previous entries in the series but thought it was a good addition. for 40 dollars its deffinitly worth a pick up

    If you have a group of 5 friends who are willing to do anything Game & Wario is going to be an absolute blast. 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.

    This game is quite fun, and, like Nintendo Land, makes great use of the Wii U's features. It's not quite as addictive as the 'core' WarioWare games, but the modes provide enough variety to continue playing for quite a while.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game & Wario is very fun. All the minigames are good-great but Gamer is buy far the best. I have spent so much time playing just this minigame by myself and competing for the high score with friends and family.
    The microgames within the minigames are pretty funny and far more fun than I initially expected for the limited time limits than you can play for.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Game & Wario and I believe it is one of the most underrated titles on the Wii U.    … Expand

    The 16 mini games included in Game & Wario wants to show of what the Wii U controller is capable of. For the most part it doesn’t really work. There are some bright spots but for the most part the mini games feel rather familiar. That said Game & Wario is still entertaining, humorous and wacky. But it is not in any way a revolution.

    Too much of Game & Wario feels like it's been done before. Its handful of smart designs provide fleeting thrills, while the rest are unfortunately forgettable.

    Well below the standards we've come to expect from Nintendo's inventive, silly franchise. [Issue#137, p.123]
