    The hero is a lot of fun, the setting is interesting and gameplay is somehow original. A shame for all the repetitiviness and the annoying controls.

    If you find you have a knack for the basic gameplay of FlingSmash, beyond willing yourself through the levels as I did, there's plenty of replayability.

    FlingSmash is full of interesting gameplay ideas that would've been a lot more fun if the game controlled well, or at the very least, compensated for the poor controls by being a little more forgiving.

    The game is bundled with a Wii remote plus controller so you might think this platformer is a delight to play. But the main problem with the game is in fact: the controls. It's very inaccurate and it'll usually make you frustrated. The game has some fun moments, and it looks pretty good, but it's short and some levels are really dull.

    FlingSmash's reliance on a very basic, flawed control scheme saps most of the fun from all of your flinging and smashing.

    FlingSmash's title might be short, snappy and to the point, but the game itself only manages the first of those three.

The world is lively and vivid, with fun character designs. The controls are fluid due to the Wii MotionPlus's capabilities. The game has an original gameplay style that goes hand-in-hand with the Wii's gimmick of motion controls. Don't know why it's not as highly regarded by the critics.… Expand

    Graphics- The game looks simply great! The style stands out and the colors are hyper-vibrant. Just puts you in a good mood.

    Music- It's nice-ish kind of. Not my style but definitely doesn't make me cringe of anything.

    Story- Damsel is distress. Save her. Done. If you're playing this for the story, their isn't much to offer here.

    Content- Short, yes. Worth it for the low price. YES! Level design is superb, if you were wondering.

    Controls and Gameplay- It works. The controls, contrary to popular belief, are decent. I also enjoy the numerous power-ups.

    Special Round (BOSSES) - The boss fights are so fun. Especially the last one, I love it.

    So yeah. Sounds fun? You decide.    … Expand

It should be damned WiiWare. Controls are okay and main villain is kind of cool, but most of time you just have to mindlessly swing Wii remote to every possible direction. Stages with metal characters shouldn't be in game (game's normal mindlessness times three) The best thing about game is fact that it comes with Wii Motion Plus and it's cheaper than controller alone!… Expand
