5.0 out of 5 stars Touching is Good, Playing is Better, March 22, 2005

This review is from: Warioware: Touched! (Video Game)

This is the perfect game for gamers like me. Someone who likes to play for 15-20 minutes at a time. Wario Ware Touched is a series of 5 second mini games that are easy to understand, fun to play and full of wacky (sometimes crass) humor. The quick pace of the games makes it perfect for short gaming sessions and still lets you acomplish something.

The main game won't tkae you taht long to finish, but even after you do there are still many other mini games to find. You find them by mastering the games you have already discovered. Playing in "Album" mode gives you a goal, say 20 repititions of the same mini game, that speeds up as you go along. It can get real tense trying to beat the game as it speeds up a bit more each time you play through it. By passing the goal on multiple games you open new mini games. It's a great idea that keeps you playing to find all the hidden mini games. Thankfully these bonus games are every bit as good as the main ones. I'll be playing this game for quite some time trying to uncover all the games and trying to beat my previous high scores.

You'll be dragging things , drawing, tapping, rubbing and even blowing on your DS to play these games. The D-pad and buttons aren't used at all. Some of the action even crosses from one screen on the DS to the other. All these features insure that this is a very unique experience. I think half the fun I had was just playing a game like I never have before. New players of videogmes can pick up on this games mechanics real easy since it's all about touching and moving things around on the screen.

Many times I found myself chuckling or laughing out loud while playing this game. So be careful if you're playing in public and don't want to get crazy looks from passersby. They might think you're going insane and maybe you are, but you're going to having a great time with Wario. A truly memorable gaming experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect example of a DS game, June 14, 2005

This review is from: Warioware: Touched! (Video Game)

WarioWare has been a small series that was created on the GBA to truly be a short game. The first game wasn't expected to sell as much as it did, but now its on the DS. All the games remain the same, you must play mini games that last for 5 seconds. Sounds easy, right, well at first it starts out slow but then it gets extremely hard by speeding up and even making the games a little more challenging. This installment is the easiest to pick up and play because it does not require any button touches but instead the use of the touch screen for random games.

There are many categories to be unlocked and you get them fairly quickly. That's another thing with the games in the series, they are very short. Being a handheld game I expected it to be short, but the replay value is extremely high. This time around you can unlock toys that allow you to utilize the DS software in the most bizarre ways. For instance, one toy allows you to blow bubbles using the mic while another uses little creatures that follow the stylus and will even fall off the screen if you blow on the mic.

This game is a must-have if you own the DS because it utilizes the touch screen and other features real well. However, you might not like this game if you do not like short and unexplainable games. People who enjoyed Feel the Magic XY/XX will like this game as well because it has the same feel but has more games. This game is made for all ages, the story mode can be completed rather quickly but if you want more of a challenge you can try to get Gold Crowns for all the characters by scoring the high scores on the mini games. Doing so unlocks more toys and stuff to play around with.

Pros
- Over 200 mini games
- Challenges get harder as you progress
- Very addictive gameplay
- Very easy to learn how to play
- Unique unlockables that utilize the DS technology

Cons
- If you don't like random games, you won't like this one
- It can be completed rather quickly

This is a really great title. Nintendo has branched out on a great franchise to take advantage of the DS's extra capabilities.

It is a fairly easy game to "beat" but as you get better you do unlock more "microgames" to keep you entertained.

There are a few of the levels that can be very frustrated but I still feel this game has a lot of replay value.

Also of note is that the graphics and music are fantastic. I was very impressed with the cartoon cinema scenes.

I would rate this appropriate for over 13 or possibly 11 if you are concerned about some "crude" humor which I wouldn't say is any worse than Saturday morning cartoons.
