    It seems to be the week for brain teasers doesn't it? First Rayman, then Mario Party 8 and now we have WarioWare: Smooth Moves. It's an odd title but then again WarioWare is an odd series of games, full of wacky animation, sly in-jokes and bizarre characters that have a distinctive eastern flavour to them. It's a battle of wits as you must hold your Wii remote in a specified way to complete time-trial challenges. Read more

    • Wide range of games, plenty to unlock, Funny, 3D Graphics and Stylish Animations
    • Aim of some games not always clear on first play

    WarioWare Smooth Moves delivers spades of crazy fun from the moment you pick up the Wii-mote and it's a game that should be in every Wii owner's collection. Read more

    • Great for almost anyone, Perfectly presented, Innovative use of the Wii-mote
    • It won't last forever

    WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a masterful piece of design, and is the only game on Wii other than Wii Sports that has made me thought that it was truly what Wii is about. Read more

    Wily Wario waggles his way onto Wii. When Wario was first introduced as Mario’s crude nemesis back in 1993, no one knew one of his truest claims to fame would be starring in a series of wacky “microgame” collections. With each successive entry, Warioware continues to prove that wacky and sometimes cheesy minigames can be fun as long as they are executed with style. Read more

    Let me start by saying, if you're looking for something plot-heavy, pass this game. If you're looking for something that will engage you for hours on end, pick another game. If you're looking for a great game to play by yourself, look elsewhere. However, WarioWare Smooth Moves is a great game if you want something silly to play with a group of people.

    Warioware Smooth Moves (Wii) We have had this game for almost as long as we have had our Nintendo Wii, so nearly three years I think. This was not part of a Wii bundle at the time, it was purchased separately. And it is a really unique game in my opinion. - About the game This game is described as “Take interactive gaming to a whole new level! Use the Wii remote to bring the part to its feet as you jump, punch, dance and more through over 200 frantic mini games’. Read more

    • Most mini games are easy, very unique games, interactive due to the wii remote, quite fun
    • Only a one player game, can be really boring and tedious, the stories/clips

    I bought this thinking it would be a fun game for the whole family when my in-laws visited (they LOVE the Wii). I was wrong. This is really more of a single person game, and only if you like short, quick mini-games. I sold it used after about one week. Read more

    • Easy to get started
    • Really short games

    I bought this for my 3 year old son because the moves on it were so intuitive, he could get something out of the wii finally. We play it together laughing our butts off. I've laughed so hard I almost get to the point of peeing my pants like a little girl! I love offbeat/jaded humor! Picking noses and letting women fall to their death is just my kind of thing.

    • wiimote usage, off beat humor
    • story lines are ridiculous and waste of time

As you progress, more characters become available to explore and you will discover the Wii’s unique abilities such as micro games that feature your Mii, and what micro games are possible. The Wii Remote allows for lots of different microgames, and the variety is amazing.
