    Great game! The most fun I've had with a game for awhile! Well, besides Gears of War, but those shouldn't be compared anyway. Fact is, this game is fun, shows off the capabilities of the Wii remote, and most of all, it cannot be done on any other system. You'll keep coming back to it regardless of the games length because it's so addictive. Great job, Nintendo!

    You may think my score is too generous, but you're completely wrong. Wario Ware for Wii is genius, despite how stupid it is. It's just simple but brilliant and stupid fun.

    I am from the Future along with these reviews! it is the best game ever released by Nintendo to come out before it has been released! If you have a chance to go to the future and play this game DO IT!! otherwise you will have to wait till it's actually released you NOOB!

    A fun, wacky game that should be in every Wii owner's collection! It is a lot of fun to just pick up and play with your friends, which works perfectly with the Wii controller! Enjoy!

    WarioWare could only be called a good game if you like fun. The controls are great and everything about this game is pure delight. Highly recommended for children, drunks, and anyone else who knows how to have a good time.

    If you don't have friends or family DON'T BUY THIS GAME! The single player is very easy and I beat it within 4 hours and had every mode unlocked. This game is extremely fun to play with other people, but not a very good experience alone.

It was clever for each character to have specialized ways to hold the Wiimote during mini games giving the player a digestible opportunity to memorize each control scheme. In addition, the boss battles for each character are truly innovative and have an air of joyful creepiness that makes them a hoot to play. This reviewer’s only complaint is the sometimes finicky nature of Wiimote connection and the lack of forgiveness in game timers that do not pity the unconnected fool. A one of a kind unique experience that is a hallmark among all Wii titles.… Expand

    I just bought this game and I think its the best use of the wii remote yet. I cannot see how much further developers can take the concept of Wario Ware. Simply the perfect game for the platform.

    Probably more of a 9.5 but I can't give it a perfect 10 due to the missing multiplayer elements from earlier versions. The lack of replay value has been greatly overexaggerated. Are you gonna play this game for 40 hours straight like Zelda? Probably not. But this is the first game many Wii users will still be picking up in 6 months.

    Literally hundreds of 3 second games as well as a few mini games to keep you ammused for many hours. The more i played smooth moves, the more I got hooked. 3 year old kids love it to, as so simple to play. Great fun game.. highly recommended for everyone, including people who don't like shoot them up type games.

    Of all games on the new plattforms this is the most fun. Realy wacky and crazy! Most injoyable played in groups of all ages. The only problem with the game is that that the story mode seems to just fly away. Your done the game before you nkow it.

Also you'll want to replay the stages over and over again to enhance your score. The bonus games are all fun, as well as the multiplayer. Multiplayer is a pass the controller affair, and it works perfectly. When you have a large group of friends it's a blast. There seem to be less minigames on the multiplayer modes, but it still stays fresh for long enough. Graphically, the game retains it art style, while branching off into some GameCube graphics during some of the minigames. The colors are vibrant, the framerate a smooth 60 fps, and it looks very sharp in 480p. It is definitely one of the best games on the Wii besides for Zelda: The Twilight Princess and Trauma Center: Second Opinion in my opinion. You realize you're playing something special when you think about how this cannot be done on any other console.… Expand

    I would give the game a 10, except that they made some annoying decisions with the multiplayer options. The minigames are interesting and varied, and the dancing minigame in particular is a show stopper.

    I cannot think that there will be ever a game which makes more fun than this one and it makes perfectly use of the wiimote. but i gave it a nine, because for people who do not play Wii with friends (I hope it's a minority), the game is too short, when you dislike playing for highscores.

    I really enjoy playing this game when having a little gathering of friends and some alcohol. The games are nice and fast-paced--perfect for quick games when things around you are hectic. It's also enjoyable in single player mode. As for the storyline, there isn't one. But who buys a game full of mini-games just for the storyline? Just get in there and play.

    Where the true value of Warioware lies is in both its multiplayer experience - which, depending on how Mario Party turns out, could be the definitive Wii party game - and it's unrivaled charm.

    I had a great time with Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, and you'll get a lot of value out of the game if you're the type that hosts parties or if you have a group of friends or family already that are enjoying games like "Wii Sports" or "Rayman: Raving Rabbids" together.
