Rating: 10

Time with product: 1

Strengths: One of a kind Motion sensing game play. Endless amounts of replay value, and has that unique "Nintendo Polish"

Weaknesses: Honestly not very much. Perhaps you could fling your Gameboy across the room if your not careful

Summary: Warioware Twisted! is a one of a kind experience. The second you turn this game on, you can tell it was made by Nintendo. The visual design is very unique through out it's hundreds of wacky mini games. The music is Nintendo all the way, with memorable and catchy tunes, and even many voice samples. You have to play this game to believe it. Just reading about it won't really do you any good, and you might not even try it because it sounds so strange. Do yourself a favor and go buy this game right now. Once you do, I guarantee you won't be able to put it down.

Strengths: Another great set of video games. Great style.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: Warioware Twisted is another great collection of minigames. They really do use the gyroscopic sensor in helping to solve the puzzles. On a few of the games you may have to fail a couple times before you figure out what you need to do to win. Each being only five seconds in length though means they have to be reasonably intuative. But if you've liked the other Warioware games, you'll love twisted.

Strengths: Great use of the gyroscope

Weaknesses: An underlying issue of replayability for the series

Summary: WarioWare Twisted is a fantastic twist on standard WarioWare gameplay that you may have experienced with the Cube or original GBA release. Fast reflexes, timing, and perception will lead you to victory... very quickly.WarioWare games are always fun for the time they last, but unfortunately that doesn't tend to be very long. Once I beat every level, I have little desire to go back and replay for any reason.A cheap purchase is advised.

Strengths: Intuitive way to play!

Weaknesses: Easier to play with regular Game Boy Advance

Summary: I find this game to be really really fun. It has a motion sensor in the cartridge and has your turn your portable game console in order to pass its micro minigames. The only problem is, it was designed with the GBA in mind. You can still play this on your DS, but it might feel a little weird. Overall, it's awesome.

Strengths: Innovative, addictive

Weaknesses: Can be beaten in only afew hours

Summary: WarioWare: Twisted! takes the whole mini-game idea that was done so well in WarioWare Inc.: Mega MicroGame$ and does it all over again with all new mini-games most of which you will have to tilt your GameBoy Advance to the left or right to control what's going on instead of say pressing left or right on the D Pad. Beside the whole tilt and twisting idea to freshen things up it should be noted that the whole presentation of WarioWare: Twisted! is done to perfection with sharp bright graphics and catchy music that quickens as the mini games move faster and get harder, later in the game they even have a level which does abunch of mini game takes on NES games which any older game (casual or seasoned) will surely enjoy alot. You can play though WarioWare: Twisted! pretty quickly but afterwards can play again in any of the modes and earn items out of a little vending machine which you can then go and try out in your extras section, while it is neat to have so many little items to earn most gamers will kind of tire of playing levels again just to get more extras, I wish they would have added a more extended main objective to go after after beating WarioWare: Twisted! once as you could then play though the game again (maybe earn a new level or two after playing though the game in a tougher mode?) and all the while doing so you could keep earning more of the bonus goodies but not just be playing again just for the bonus goodies. I would highly recommend WarioWare: Twisted! to anyone that has a GameBoy Advance to at least try out as it's the kind of game that is easy to understand and get into that even nongamers could easily find themselves having a good time with it!
