Great crazy original game hits Gameboy Advance staring Wario? You better believe it.

What a crazy title for a game? I hear you all say, that is nothing compared to what?s on the inside. Wario Ware Inc?s story is just as strange. The story starts off with Wario watching a bit of TV when an advert comes on advertising a game. Wario sees this and suddenly takes interest in how profitable video games can be and decides to get into the business, which he creates his own software company funnily enough called Wario Ware Inc (hence the title of the game).

Wario Ware Inc is a compilation of mini games, which fit in to certain genres in the game ranging from Sci-Fi, Strange, and even old classic Nintendo games. The genres are assigned to certain characters who are set out in a ladder table where you beat a persons set of mini games with your four lives and then you move up to the next one. Each character has a boss stage at the end, which is needed to be beat to move up the ladder. Also as you work your way through the characters? selected mini games the speed increases, so soon you are not doing fives seconds, you? re doing five seconds at double speed. This adds to the challenge and keeps you interested as they also get harder.

The game features over 200 different mini games which all last around five seconds, before you get put off by the insane short time the mini games last, they are actually done very well to fit with the time limit, the variety in the games is great, one second you could be dodging hovercrafts in F-zero and then you could be tapping A to stop a bogey leaking from a women?s nose (I told you its crazy).


The best thing about Wario Ware Inc is the amount of mini games it has, when you first get the game and play it you are kept been surprised as you work your way through the game and such the variety and craziness of the games you really don?t know what you are going to get next. I guarantee that the game when you play will get you thinking, ?what the hell was that about? either that or just end up laughing at picking someone?s nose.

The graphics vary a lot since the mini games are all done differently, examples are like the finger up the nose mini game it looks really plain and simple while others like the F-zero mini game are really nice because of using the same graphics as the GBA game.

The sound is excellent, it has some catchy funky tunes, and the game also has some classic tunes like the Super Mario Brothers music or Zelda music. The game also is able to fit some voices on with some of the tunes, which you don?t really see in many GBA titles.

The game isn?t really long it could probably be beaten in around 2 hours, but its so insanely fun that you will play it even after you have beaten it, plus there is a lot of things to unlock like the full version of Dr Mario which is called Dr Wario in this game and also some 2 player games. The game isn?t difficult either but it is a very pick up and play game, perfectly made for trips on the bus or maybe a 30 min gaming session while waiting to see a movie.

Its about time the GBA games collection got a wacky original game and Wario Ware Inc is no let down, its insanely fun, extremely funny and so so strange you can tell its Japanese. I would recommend that every GBA owner get a hold of this game, because it really is a brilliant game.
