Crazy Addiction

This games goes from Bizzare micro games to some classic nes games with about 5 second play time to complete. I wasn't sure what to think of this game at first, but after a couple of games was addicted. This game has great replay value and you can even unlock some cool old school games. Overall it is a definite buy.

Addictive procrastination tool

Wario Ware is one of the most original games to come out of Nintendo in years, and it's also one of the most addicting. I played it a few rounds at a time between studying for my exams and came down with the "just one more try" syndrome. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to stifle boredom or waste time, Wario Ware is for you.

There's only the thinnest of plots; Wario wants to make money by creating his own video games, so he gets a bunch of friends to help him. The gamer must help them through their misadventures by playing through various 3-second mini-games. These games test your reflexes and skill with some truly bizzare scenarios: cut through a piece of meat, help a power ranger-esque fighter defeat bad guys, draw a line with a crayon, pull turnips, even help a cute anime girl snort her snot back. There are over 200 of these mini-games, and scoring the required points on them will open up even more. Even though the games are short, they're entertaining and beg for you to replay them to beat your own score.

The controls are simple; Nintendo's philosphy on simplification at the expense of graphics and presentation hasn't always worked, but here everything's flawless. Controls don't get more complex than pushing the direction pad and A button. Graphics are intentionally simple, but full of style and humour. And again, the replayability adds a lot to the overall package. Like Tetris and Dr. Mario before it, Wario Ware will always entertain after other games have come and gone.

Good for short attention

This is a great addicting game. It consists of series of short games about 5 seconds. They are mindless little things like pushing a botton to catch a stick or hitting a tennis ball back at somebody or shooting a basket. They are great!!! A little boring after an hour, but it definitely kept my attention!

They will be talking about this one for YEARS!!!

If you have always wanted to see the birth of a classic Nintendo title, here it is!!! The game is constantly throwing mini games in your face and you don't know to what level it is going to next. From swatting flies, to shooting aliens, to..Yes..Inserting your finger into your nose. It is all done in good taste however, and it keeps everyone who plays it glued to it for hours. I bought this game for my wife for a long road trip, it lasted that trip and others since. It is a game that anyone can pick up, from the person who never has played a video game to the fanboy who plays 40+ hours a week. Also seems to appeal to everyone that has played mine, this one will be in the GBA for a while.

Good game but short

This game is great although you can blow through it easily in about a day the good thing is that it has exsellent replay value because you can unlock new mini games that were previously unavalible. another great thing is that ther is a full version of dr mario which is unlockable as well as other FULL mini games

Fun while it lasts

This GBA game features over 200 "microgames," each of which asks you to perform a simple task that tests your reflex. For example, you will be asked to grab a toast as it leaps out of a toaster. Or to punch out a boss who's rather slow. Or to avoid certain obstacles. Except for the boss games, which have no time limit, the microgames last between 2 and 5 seconds. There are different game sets, each with a different theme, for example, one set features "classic Nintendo" characters. To clear a set, you need to beat about 15 games with no more than a couple misses.

Overall the games are fun, but too simplistic for adults such as myself. Some of the games are kinda difficult to figure out, but after a couple tries you'll have no problem at all. One mildly frustrating part is if you fail a level, you'll have to go through most of the same games you'd cleared before again. The graphics is really simplistic, but you may be amused by the cute cut-scenes. (Unfortunately, you can't skip the cut-scenes, so if you are in a hurry to get to the next level, you are out of luck.)

Sound-wise, this is again quite simplistic. While the background music is not annoying, some of the sound effects are.

All in all, this is a fun game to kill time with while you wait for your dentist or day in court. I've beat most of the games, and I'm thinking of selling it on Craig's List because I don't consider this a re-play title.

Great game!

I played this game briefly at a game store (demo copy) and I didn't want to put it down. It is so much fun. I have heard only good things about it from people of all ages. If you love games, you'll love Wario Ware!

Well it seems obvious that this the game of all time... I had to laugh when I read the minimal amount of 1-2 star ratings (only about 4 out of 77) anyways this goes and shows the very idea of video games, they are pointless! Video games are pointless, there is no such thing as a "serious" game, all games to the very core of thier being are a waste of time. This game is great as in it is a light game that doesn't take forever to beat (ITS CALLED REPLAY VALUE GUYS, REPLAY VALUE) yes you will "beat" the game pretty easily, that doesn't mean it's over, you can play them even more. The concept is sound and the game is funny (unless you have a dignified sense of humour or your just too serious to laugh at something goofy) I think the funniest part is where that monkey is throwing the bananas at the cop cars, FUN-E! As I was saying this is a light game it is just to have fun with, there is no engrossing story line and what not. So if your playing a game for story line and character development (read you are a nerd) then please skip this game, it will be too "easy" for your advanced gaming (spare me!). This is one of the few breaths of fresh air I have seen in gaming in a long while, though video games are making more and more money every year they are losing focus. Ummm so yeah, this game is fun (E) and entertaining, if your a nerd you won't like it sooooooo this is a game for the "casual" gamer (read non-nerd) and cool people who don't read gaming magazines all day and have deep conversations about Final Fantasy. The end.

Dissent

I guess I'm the voice of dissent, but I didn't care for this game at all. Here's what I didn't like about Wario Ware:

-> Too easy. I got through the entire game, including unlocking all the other "games", in two days.
-> I was expecting strategic variety in the various "minigames", but almost all of them boil down to hitting a single button at just the right time (hit the "A" button at the height of a jump to sink a basketball shot...or jump off a ski lift, or catch a rod that's dropped into your hand, or catch a piece of toast launched from a toaster, or put a finger up a nose, or slice a bamboo shoot in half, or jump over an oncoming car, etc, etc, etc.) Almost entirely built on "one-shot" reflex timing, and not on strategy, logic, reasoning, skill, or anything else I'd look for in a game (or one of 200 games). The unlocked "games" (as opposed to the minigames) are, predictably, lame...they remind me of mind-numbingly dull space-invader wannabe games circa 1980.
I'd say the game was a decent diversion for 2 days, but it feels more like one of those demo disks with a dozen game "previews", except that it costs [money]. If nothing else, the company gets kudos for exploring new ideas and formats.
