Fans of the WarioWare series will find more of what they love in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Nintendo Wii.

Newcomers will be confused and eventually amused by the title’s quirky and fast-paced collection of frantic minigames. WarioWare’s charm comes from barraging the player with small games – often consisting of simply pushing a button or moving the controller in one direction, lasting only a few seconds – at a breakneck pace. A dearth of multiplayer modes and unlockable side games provide some much-needed replayability.

WarioWare’s easy to learn game play, slick graphics and innovative use of the Wii’s remote controller make it an ideal showpiece for the console. However, fans of previous iterations may find the formula a bit stale.
