Warioware Touched!

So I think that Wariowaere Touched can be great for all casual and hardcore players! Hope you like it!

WarioWare: Touched! is an amazing game, with microgames that will keep you entertained for hours. The cutscenes are short things about the characters' actions, and, although annoying, are a good way to set the mini-plots of each character. The characters themselves actually have personalities, ranging from the happy pop-star Mona to the Gothic witch Ashley. The mini-games are quite fun to play in quick succession, and although some are extremely similar to each other, they move so fast it is hard to notice. The music is mostly simple, but there are a couple of memorable pieces in there, like 'Ashley's Theme' The music also speeds up when the gameplay speeds up, synchronizing well with the gameplay.

The sound effects during the mini-games are zany little things, and are quite a nice touch (lame pun on the title there) to the game's nature. They work with the quirky graphics. The graphics themselves are mostly nice little sketches that again work well with the game's nature.

On the bad side is the fact that the main mode, for unlocking each character, is short. This is countered by the fact that you can go back and play characters again to unlock the rest of their mini-games, and to beat the score of 30 for each character that is required to unlock gadgets.

The gadgets aren't very good, though, and often will be looked at once and then you will never bother with them again. There are a couple of good ones, like the music player, but most of the gadgets are not good and should have been replaced with better things.

The last gripe on this game is the lack of much potential in the multi-player department. Micro-games like that could have been

more fun if playable with more people. There is so little multi-player content in this game, and he multi-player functions could have made this game an even better experience thta would last longer.

All in all, WarioWare: Touched is a fun game that will keep you coming back for more. Despite it's flaws, it's a game you can pick up and play easily. The micro-games will keep you playing for quite some time, even if you have a short attention span. I give this game 9/10.

The first Warioware game, released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, was always good. It's humorous, fast paced and easy to use, all that was needed to play was the D-Pad and the A button. Now, with the 3rd instalment of the Warioware series this expands on all of them.

It utilises the DS features in a way very few games even come close to. With many other games the touch screen is merely an alternative to the buttons, in this it is essential. The use of the touch screen makes the game very easy to play. With absolutely no practice you can just pick up and off you go. But don't be fooled into thinking it's flat out all the way. The more you play the faster the pace. You get less time to process the instruction and act it out. The great learning curve will cater to gamers of all skill levels.

This game has a vivid array of colours shooting across the screen. And while it never excels beyond 2 dimensions it is still a beautiful game to look at. The way a new game comes on every 5 or so seconds is a great, it gives a chance to show so many colours. It's dizzying.

It's not like there isn't anything to gain either. After playing so much you get yourself a brand new 'toy'. Such 'toys' include a Yo-Yo, Harmonica and clackers, as well as many more, increasingly random games to play. For these there is no goal, no high score to beat. This relaxes the game play and makes playing much more comfortable overall.

However, unlocking these 'toys' can be extremely frustrating. Requiring you to play the same game multiple times. This detracts from the main feature of the game. The complete randomness. Knowing what game is coming next over and over again simply ruins the fun.

And the music! Well, lets just say that if it weren't for the enjoyable sound effects, you would mute the game in a second. By music here, I mean the tune in the space between two of the many mini-games. Hearing the same piece continuously rising in tempo and pitch can drive you insane. It really will.

And now for the conclusion. The bit you've all been waiting for. The big finale.

Warioware is a very good game, a game I strongly recommend that you go out and buy. It is a game that will frustrate, and also amuse but that is why you should buy it.

Wario Ware Touched was released on the same day as the Nintendo DS hit the shops and what a game it was! The graphics are brilliant and you always want to play on even if you really have got to go. The five-second mini-games are amazing and some are strange like you have to unroll toilet roll, pick someone's nose and do calculations on a calculator. You can unlock games to go in your toy room which are also fun! Great game! Worth checking out! Very little multiplayer but still quite good!

Warioware Touched game is crazy, plain and simple. From the start point, the intro and title screen are enough for you to know that, but once the mini-games start you will realise just how crazy it is, and you'll love it. If not check your pulse... you might be dead.

The mini-games are usually only 3 seconds long (some last a little longer, and some boss stages) and in that time you have to figure out what to do, and then do it! There is always some instruction, such as chop! slice! tickle! that help you, and most of the minigames are so much fun! There's really nothing like slicing flying vegetables with your stylus, poking snails in the eyes, drawing a path across spikes to run across or simply popping balloons, And the usual retro games are back, with Mario, Zelda, Game and watch among many others.

Unfortunately there are some downsides, as with the other WarioWare games after a while it can become boring but in short gaming sessions every now and then it will live on for a long, long time. Compared to the others it is also a little easy but this is minor and shouldn't put you off, this is all about fun, and as my grandma likes it, anyone can like it!

WarioWare Touched, even the name sounds a little mental. I am confident that the producers of this game must have been slightly touched themselves. This game reels chaotically from one zany subgame to the next wacky subgame, and yet, somehow, it all makes sense.

Although the game are all relatively easy to master, the pacing is just right to make it unbearable to put down without just "one more go" to beat that last score. The comical nature of the visuals does nothing to detract from the game and in some ways heighten the playable nature of the games by keeping them simple.

Ever since Warioware Touched! and the DS were released, the DS had one feature that made it unique compared to any other item on the market: a touch screen. Although other games used this feature to smaller extent, WarioWare has maximized the value of this feature.

When you first look at Warioware Touched!, it appears stupid and pointless. Well...it is. But! It has to be one of the best games on the Nintendo DS. Its fun factor overrides the fact that there is no solid storyline. The touch screen in this game is very smooth and reactive. This game should be purchased by any DS owner.
