The Wario Land series is where Wario, Nintendo's greedy, uncouth and rude anti-hero first appeared, and now he's back in singleplayer action in Wario Land: Shake It. With the Wii Remote controller turned sideways like an old-school controller, veterans and newcomers alike can run, jump and smash their way through hectic side-scrolling stages. Players shake the Wii Remote to help Wario take down his enemies, empty bags of treasure or cause earthquakes. Best of all, there are numerous stages each offering multiple missions to keep players coming back again and again to unlock everything, collect more coins or just improve their best times.

Storyline and Gameplay
Wario receives an antique globe and telescope that allow him to travel to the once-idyllic Shake Dimension, now conquered by the tyrannical pirate, the Shake King. With the assistance of his longtime rival, Captain Syrup, he must rescue the Merfles, denizens of the Shake Dimension imprisoned by the Shake King. Only by defeating the bosses of all five continents of this strange world can Wario find and confront the Shake King, rescue Queen Merelda, queen of the Merfles, and, most importantly, claim the Bottomless Coin Sack, a never-ending supply of gold.

Each stage has Wario navigating an obstacle course of dangers and traps to find an imprisoned Merfle. Once he frees the little fellow, the countdown begins and he must find his way back to the starting gate before time runs out. Wario must also defeat a boss in each continent, and then buy a map of the next continent from Captain Syrup. Once all five continents' bosses have been defeated, Wario takes on the Shake King himself.

Characters
Wario Land: Shake It features a wide cast of off-the-wall characters including: Wario, our "hero." Captain Syrup, a female pirate (and rival from previous games) who aids Wario on his quest. The Merfles, helpless natives of the Shake Dimension, and their queen, Queen Merelda. The Shake King, leader of a ruthless pirate band who has conquered the Shake Dimension.

Key Game Features:

Shake Things Up With the Wii Remote - With the Wii Remote controller turned sideways, veterans and newcomers alike can run, jump and smash their way through hectic side-scrolling stages. By shaking the Wii Remote, you can shake down your enemies, free coins from treasure bags and even cause earthquakes.
Side-Scrolling Fun - Each stage is a masterfully crafted side-scrolling obstacle course of puzzles, enemies and assorted hazards. Every stage holds numerous secrets and treasures to discover (and steal). And each stage has multiple "missions" to keep you coming back again and again to unlock everything, collect more coins or just improve your best time.
Classic Wario Action and Attitude - Wario returns to form, with all the jumping, power-dashing and butt-stomping we've come to expect. This is surly Wario at his finest.

The Wii Remote: Powers, Weapons, Moves & Vehicles
Wario can jump and dash, as per previous Wario Land games. New to this game is the ability to shake the Wii Remote for various effects. By default, a shake of the Wii Remote makes Wario punch the ground, causing a small earthquake and dazing enemies. Wario can then pick up dazed enemies and, with another shake of the Wii Remote, shake them for rejuvenating garlic and occasionally gold. Enemies can also be thrown, and you aim by tilting the Wii Remote.

Wario also takes control of three different vehicles during the course of the game, all of which are piloted in part by tilting the Wii Remote. The controls are standard for a Wii Remote held sideways (D-pad, buttons), but with an important twist: most of Wario's special moves are accomplished by shaking or tilting the Wii Remote. This allows great versatility but without forcing the player to remember complicated button combinations.

not the greatest game ever but its ok

Wario Land shake it is a 2d platformer released back on the original wii in 2008 and is the 5th (or 6 if you count the ds one) in the Wario land series. I'm a huge fan of the original Wario land games expecilly the 1st on back on the original gameboy. I would say behind the Mario and sonic games there some of the best platformers ever made.

Shake it however just feels a little off for some reason. Theirs only a few enemy types, half of them can't even hurt you besides just getting in the way a little bit. The levels are designed well for exploration but theirs not many obstacles/pitfalls to stop you. I believe its more or less aimed more towards younger gamers compared to the other Wario land games because it is really easy to beat the game. Now getting all the collectibles in this game is a different story as in all the Wario games its very challenging to get some of them and it will take moderate skill to 100% the game. Theres also a few wii remote functions you have to do like shaking treasure bags and throwing stuff to hit a object. It feels kinda gimicky but it could have been a lot worse so its not enough to hurt the game.

I will give this game some credit for the graphics. Its almost like playing a Saturday morning cartoon and I wish the would bring this style to make a 2d Mario or to bring it back on the next Wario land game whatever platform it may be. The only problem with the graphics is that during most of the game there's a large useless bar on both sides of the screen that pretty much restricts widescreen play with this game. The music isn't bad not the best I've heard from a Nintendo game but its not the worst either. There is a few good tracks here and there though. That's really all to say about the sound other than the occasional WARRRIOOOOOO sounds

In general I would say compared to other 2d or 3d platformers on the system (new mario bros, dk country returns) this one is a little bit of a step down but it is more relaxing so if you have played a lot of new Mario bros and dk country on the Wii and want something a little less stressful, if you want a game for your kids or a younger gamer then I would recommend it if you can get it cheap. However if you have a gameboy I would recommend playing the 1st 4 Wario land games as I found them to be a lot more fun.

Not for obsessive people...fun otherwise.

If you were to just try to get to the end as fast as possible it may not be that long. I instead tried to get every treasure and every mission. This is unbelievably hard. I became obsessed with this game and wanted to just rip the disk out and break it often. Some missions and treasures are such that you can miss them and have to replay the entire level again. At least for the timed ones you can start from the middle. So I think this game preys on my completest or obsessive nature and makes it too hard to actually do this. I feel kind of used and angry when I play this. You know how a tough bit can make you a bit annoyed and then when you finally beat it you feel relieved? Some of the missions are so frustrating the joy you feel from finally beating it is not really worth it. I feel like I need to start letting go and just ignoring extra things in games. It really was a fun but painful experience.

Anyway, graphically it's awesome looking. Captain Syrup has never looked better! Wish you could play as her instead of Wario. It has solid play control, music, and sfx. Level and enemy design is solid, just those missions are too much. If you want to try this, don't do the missions as you play through. Just beat the game straight through then if you want more go back and do some of the missions. Don't try to get everything! As others have said, it lacks a certain something that Nintendo-created games have though. It feels slightly off or slightly fake. I don't know why though.

Fun for casual and hard-core gamer.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2009

My wife and I played this with our 5 year old son. It's easy enough for him to get through most levels to move the story along which is why it's fun for the casual gamer. You don't easily die or lose. There are usually 5 or so additional goals to beat if you really want more of a challenge (ie: collect over x number of gold, finish with more than 2 minutes left, make it through the level without getting wet, don't take any damage, etc etc) along with 3 special treasures to find in each level. Plenty of replay opportunities and difficult tasks for the hard core check-lister type player.

My 5 year old enjoyed it more than my wife and I. We enjoyed the comic style, hand drawn art, and puzzle/level design. Some of the wii remote gimmicks were excellent (ie: controlling your rocket ship thrusters or Subwarine with the wii remote). Wario is not a lovable character / hero nor is the story much (not that we expected a lot). I was ready to be finished with it by the halfway point, but we continued through the end for my son's sake. Luckily it wasn't too long to complete since we weren't trying to finish all the goals...it's great that the designers created it for casual and hard core gamers.

Lack of quality control

Reviewed in Canada on August 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Disc had deep grooves under the surface
The 1st world would not work making it impossible to complete the game. It should never have been sold.
There is obviously no quality control here.
I can send it back, however this was a total waste of my time and money.
My grandson was excited & now very disappointed
I would not recommend this company based on the lack of quality control. This could have been avoided on their part

Everything with your bussines is exelent, except your deliveringtimes, where sometimes there is no delivery at all.
This is not your fault though, it's your choice to use Post Danmark wich are to say the least lousy.
