Game Summary:

FEATURES- WarioWare: Smooth Moves Wii The WarioWare team took an idea so wacky it could only be made with the latest technology: the Wii Remote controller! Wario stumbles into an old building called the Temple of Form. Inside he finds a mystical treasure called the Form Baton. There are many ways to hold and move the baton (called forms) and legend has it that if the holder follows the forms he can overcome any challenge. With this discovery the form craze spreads and soon everybody is doing their best to master the moves.* Revolutionary Fun: With hundreds of microgamesthis game is just as wild as youd expect from the name WarioWare but the game play has been revolutionized. Under Warios tutelage and with the help of the Wii Remote players will swing spin and squat their way to victory. * Tons and Tons of Microgames: With more than 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing WarioWare: Smooth Moves takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. All players need is confidence a Wii Remote and their best moves. * Off-Screen Party: With games that are as much fun to play as they are to watch people play WarioWare: Smooth Moves brings the party to its feet. Its hilarious for players and audiences alike. -- SPECIFICATIONs ---------------------------------------ESRB Rating : E+10 for Very Young TeenGenre/Category : PuzzleSystem : WiiNumber of Players : 1www.nintendo.com

Game Review:

A collection of 200 (bizarre) Minigames will give your Wii-mote a good work-out, while the “Pick-up and Play” style games ensure fun for the whole family. No doubt – WarioWare is a BUY.

Good, but not like I'd hoped, 2008-11-08

Reviewer: Matthew Roberts

I am a big fan of the Warioware GBA games, so I understood the format of this game coming into it. Nintendo has done a great job of exhausting the creative uses for the "form baton" and "balance stone." The story line is very, very thin. A few of the micro games don't work as smoothly as they should, and a few are unnecessarily ugly looking. I was hoping for something my younger children might be able to enjoy, but the rating is consistent with the content. Finally, I cannot believe that there is not an option to challenge each microgame on its own -- that's a primary feature!

wario ware touched game used full utilization of the touch screen. now wario ware smooth moves uses full utilization with the wii remote. great multiplayer game without the need to use 2 wiimotes, new characters, cool music and creative micro and mini games. just like any wario game in the wario ware series, wario ware smooth moves is a game that requires you to complete a small challenge within a couple of seconds, when you complete that, it goes to another random challenge. the game uses, i think 19 forms. 19 ways to hold the wii remote and each form is explained as a micro game with a new form comes up. there is one downside. normally in wario ware games, there was a mode where you can play each game individually over and over again to complete a high score, for instance, it would get faster and faster. but this isnt the case in wario ware smooth moves, instead you pick an individual micro game and then choose the speed you want it at and then it will play it 3 times.
