Strengths: Many random, odd mini-games, great for large gatherings

Weaknesses: Gets boring, can be frustrating

Summary: 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.

Strengths: Hilarious style all its own! Great mini games!

Weaknesses: Can be "too weird" for some.

Summary: Sure, the game is weird. But it works. It works so well, Nintendo has released ANOTHER WarioWare game--- this time for the Wii. They bring out all the big guns too, as Nintendo goes all out to attempt to make this game the most hilarious game ever made.You'll find yourself and your friends laughing as you attempt to do the elephant or the mohawk during the game. The use of the Wii-mote here feels completely right and the controls work perfectly.Sure, the hyper intensive ADD mini game filled game may not be for everyone, but it should be!

Strengths: Very fun party game!

Weaknesses: No online multi-player, short single player campaign.

Summary: This game fully take advantage of the Wiimote and is a fun collection of mini games. Been playing this game on gameboy and loved it. It is a very fun game to play with your buddy. Only drawback is no online multiplayer mode.

Strengths: Diverse mini-games, numerous Wiimote actions, addictive multiplayer gameplay

Weaknesses: Somewhat short for single-player gameplay

Summary: WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the WarioWare franchise of very odd and very quick minigames on the Wii. The game uses the Wiimote to full potential with its numerous actions to play the minigames. There's plenty of minigame types to keep people entertained, though as a single player game, it's a little on the short side. The game shines in multiplayer with the frenzied gameplay. For a multiplayer Wii game, it can't be beat.

Strengths: Amazing variety of microgames.

Weaknesses: Multiplayer mode has to be unlocked.

Summary: WarioWario: Smooth Moves is a great demonstration of the Wii's potential. Each microgame manages to use the Wii remote in new and interesting ways that make the player look silly. This, of course, makes WarioWario entertaining for groups of players and non-players alike. My main quibble is that the multiplayer mode can only be played after clearing the main story mode.
