Don't need smooth moves to have a good time!
3 of 4 found this helpful Wario Ware: Smooth Moves takes the versatility of the Wii Remote and presents you with a countless number of 'microgames'. They're called microgames because at the most they last about 5 seconds each. If you play this game alone, after a few hours of unlocking everything you're likely to discover this game was NOT made for one player. The true nature of the game is in the multiplayer modes, which only take about 2 hours to unlock. Basically, the multiplayer games allow up to 5 people in most games and up to 12 in one game to play. You only use one Wii Remote which is very nice as a cost saver, and you each take turns playing a microgame and then passing it to the next player. The microgames are fun, hilarious, and downright weird at first and you're likely not to pass any or hardly any of them with your time constraints, but after an hour or so, a total novice can actually beat someone who's played for weeks, believe me it's happened personally. The game, competition wise, comes down to luck, sometimes you get the really ridiculous games and sometimes the really easy ones. In any case, the multiplayer mode is where the game really shines and makes it well worth a purchase, and multiplayer is only enhanced when you continuously unlock more microgames in single player mode. The only true flaws with the game, taking aside from the fact that it was designed to be a multiplayer party title, is that during multiplayer gaming the same few microgames seem to appear several times while most games don't seem to appear at all. So it may get boring within a short period of time which is really a major problem considering it's a party game. All in all, the unique ways the wii remote is utilized during the hundreds of microgames, as well as the comical and weird objectives you are presented with (such as shoving a finger into a nostril without hitting the nose or such as keeping a panda balanced on a huge ball without falling over) are insanely fun even if the fun may be short lived. One main rule applies to this game in terms of fun: the more the merrier, especially if few of you know how to play the game at all.
