Wii Mans Reviews: WarioWare: SmoothMoves

[wii_man76]

Oh My God! What a bizzare, strange and funny game!

The game is nothing more than a complete compilation of what seems like hundreds and hundreds of minigames that are over in the blink of an eyelid!

It makes full use of the Wii Controller with you having to perform such tasks as turning key to open a door to holding the controller on your head whilst you squat on the ground and then stand straight back up again!!!

The images below show just some of the minigames that you have to complete in (quite litterally) a matter of seconds! Just before the mini game begins you are shown how to hold the remote and in the few seconds that the game lasts, not only do you have to complete the task but you have to actually work out what the task is and how to move the controller!!! Mad I tell you , mad!!!



The image on the left shows someone holding the remote in the 'mohican' stance squating etc. the image in the middle shows you using a saw with the image on the right showing how you can weightlift!!!

This game is a great party game as everyone can take part! I'm not sure which is more fun, taking part playing the game or watching someone playing the game!!!

Fun Factor: 9/10 - On your own 0/10 with a load of mates 9/10
Playability: 10/10 - Full use of the Wii controller
Gameplay: 9/10 - That's all there is with this game, not much skill involved!
Graphics: 5/10 - Graphics are not what this game is about!!!
Sound/Music: 7/10 - Fun sounding music for a fun game.

Overall 40/50

UPDATE:

Lastability Rating: 8/10

lol

It's not really a game to play on your own (although a lot of people do), it's infinately more fun and enjoyable if you play with other people - the more the merrier!

it's just a shame more effort wasn't put into the multiplayer. the cube versions multiplayer was awesome,i can't believe they ommited 'doctors orders', which would have been perfect for wii. and why no multi wiimote modes??? Aaaaaaargh.
fun when it lasted tho.

i thought theres no point of getting this cause its kinda the same as wii play but since its got reviews i might try this out (when i get round 2 it)

Wii Man, completely agree with you mate! Fantastic game!

Wii Play - you dare to compare SmoothMoves with Wii Play????!!!

Wi Play is OK for getting used to using your Wii Controller. I have played it a couple of times and that's about it.

Wario: SmoothMoves is much, much better than Wii Play and will have you in hysterics watching your mates do strange things with your Wii Controller!!!


I must admit though, I do have to agree with this comment:

Once I had completed the game, I sold it! It was great fun whilst it lasted, but once I had gotten to the end I had no inclination of playing the mini-games again.

Thanks!

I just tell it as I see it. Sometimes you will agree with me, other times you won't!

Yeah, nice one, I was contemplating getting it, but I don't see any point if it's one of those party games. None of my friends like the wii except for one of them.
