Woe to the one that tries to shake me out of a Wario Ware trance.
I will often reciprocate with something along the words of GTFO!
Because its a known fact among fans of such a game that test your reflexes like no other,
that when you are in the zone, nothing can take you out.
In fact, you are entitled to said zone, and it must be treated like a crime against humanity
when the dog starts barking or your girlfriend calls you over and over again.
If you want a game that operates like a gatling gun of five second minigames, a game that
can truly test your reflexes and your overall knowledge of gaming, look no further.
Wario Ware Inc., Mega Microgames is here for you.
We who are so addicted to playing minigame after minigame are indeed lucky that Wario
apparently wants a piece of the gaming industry pie all to himself after seeing a commercial
on TV.
That's all it took.
No one questioned his ambition.
Of course, he's gonna need a little help from his friends, and it is their creativity that
determines the levels that you must progress through.
Each of them pitches a theme at you, and its up to you to deliver the swing.
Just make sure you don't miss.
For example, Dribble and Spitz's theme, although not entirely prevalent in their level, is
sci-fi, with spacey games that will have you shooting at spaceships, constructing robots
one piece at a time, and blasting off into space in order to avoid asteroids. 9-volt
is the man.
Not only does he have the tunes crankin, he's also a huge Nintendo fanboy specializing in
classic games.
Mini versions of Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, and Mario will challenge your skill and reflexes.
I know I mention reflexes a lot, but it's such an important element in beating each
game as quickly and efficiently as you can.
You'll only have about five seconds to complete each stage, and you'll be kicking yourself
each time you screw up.
Everything surrounding this game is rather fantastic.
Visual quality and sound are both on par with the best of the best of the Game Boy Advance,
quirky, cartoony, and many times, laugh out loud hilarious.
As far as the cinematics go, it's hard for me not to draw comparisons to the Katamari
Damacy series in its comically Japanified style, and you'll notice this during the aforementioned
Dribble and Spitz, both before the level begins where you can drink in the city where they
work and between each minigame where there is obviously Jpop playing in the background.
If you've got a Gamecube with GBA capability and you have a group of fun-loving friends
like myself, don't hesitate to bring this to your next party.
Seriously.
Wario Ware Inc Mega Microgames is like Mario Party with a pulse.
You'll be giddy with anticipation as you try to tackle each five second level as efficiently
as possible.
Even your non-gaming friends will wonder what it is they are looking at, and then my friends,
so too shall they become believers.
