Pros & Cons

  • tons of silly fun, great for large gatherings, typical warioware insanity, some good multiplayer games, fun collection of games
  • occasionally glitchy controls, the storyline is dull, somewhat boring by yourself, multiplayer is crushing disappointment, some terrible graphics

The adventurous story opens when Wario trips upon an ancient artifact that is very similar to a wiimote.

WarioWare Smooth Moves can be played by a single player or multiple of players. It features four multiplayer games revolving around microgames, three of which support up to five players. The adventurous story opens when Wario trips upon an ancient artifact that is very similar to a wiimote. When he removes the artifact from its position, a giant boulder comes quickly rolling after him. You will have to save Wario from this disaster. You will discover more locations around Diamond city and Wario’s friends with new cut scenes and micro games to explore. You will discover that Smooth Moves new feature is the double edged sword. As the story evolves, some gentlemen will tell you new ways to hold your wiimote. One way is holding it like an umbrella another is holding it like a pair of handlebars on a bicycle. 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. WarioWare Smooth Moves makes great use of the Wii Remote’s features and can be enjoyable to play by you or with friends. Moreover each game in the series has a different control mechanism which means that the microgame formula allows for more discoveries. The game is fast-paced, fun, and hilarious.

    All in all, WarioWare Smooth Moves is fun to play, and shows off the versatility of the Wii-mote, yet you might not find reason for much replaying. If you’re interested, a rental with friends is suggested. Read more

    What's to say more than "finally a game where I can pick my nose!". And I'm not joking, as there's a challenging that will ask you to pick the on-screen nose to get the points. WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the definition of party games and it's equally fun to play and watch, considering that there's so much stuff you can do thanks to the two controllers. Nintedo struck gold again, without delivering eye candy, a great story or a brilliant soundtrack. Pure gameplay and... Read more

    All in all, Warioware Smooth Moves is probably not worth a purchase due to its very nature of playing microgames. You can see everything that the game has to offer in one solid evening of gaming, which makes a full price tag hard to swallow. However, Smooth Moves is one of the best rentals that you could make for your next party. Read more

    WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a very enjoyable game. The fast paced and hectic gameplay make for an entertaining, but short lived romp. If you’re an avid multiplayer, it’s easy enough to warrant the purchase of Smooth Moves. WarioWare definitely doesn’t lack substance, but it does lack replay value. There’s enough replay value if you’re looking for it, but for a single run through of a game there really isn’t enough here. This is an excellent introductory game... Read more

    I don’t hate this game, but there was a lot that needs to be improved on. One thing is all the stupid multiplayer problems. One of the big things being making the use of multiple remotes available, another being make the multiplayer games not suck. Stick to single player when you play this game and you’ll be fine. I really hope this isn’t the only Wario Ware game that will be released for the Wii. Perhaps in the next installment they could just keep the microgames... Read more

    This game is crazy. I mean nuts, retarded, wacky...basically every synonym for crazy. The game is all about mini games. I dont know the exact number of mini games but I have had the game for months and I still havent unlocked all of them. You start by clicking on the chapter you want to start, and the game throws a bunch of mini games at you. The tutorial is my favorite part. Every mini game requires you to get into s stance. Some examples are the waiter stance where you... Read more

    love this game. one things thats not great is that in order to have multiplayer, you have to beat the entire game. It took us about 2 hours to do so. But its so worth it. Multiplayer is soo much fun. Read more

    The mini-games were fun. My favorite is Pyoro S. In Single Player, the only objective in large gatherings is to see who gets the highest score. This can be fun but can also get boring very fast. In Multiplayer, I wish they had a few more games (like 10). Darts, Star Nose and Bungee Jump were probably the only 'unique' games while the others had the same objective: Get the forms right or else you lose. Overall this game is highly recommended.
