Wario Ware Inc. Mega Party Games (GameCube)

Though the graphics are fairly simplistic (GBA-style), the game has amazing replay value. It leaves you saying to yourself, "just one more try"; in my books, this is the sign of a very successful game.

It is rather shallow on single player mode, and the mini-games are a little basic at times, but this game really shines in multiplayer mode. If you have a couple of friends and a Gamecube, then this game is a must-buy.

Having enjoyed the Mario Party series and reading some of the other reviews on this game I was looking forward to getting my hands on this game. It is the multi-player aspect of Party games that make them so much fun so the first time this was played was with 3 other unfortunate friends.

However what followed was a major dissapointment. The game play itself was not as structured as the Mario party boards, and the mini games are effectively a load of naff micro challenges which last 3 seconds each. Winning the micro challenges wins you the mini game. It requires absolutely no skill what so ever, each challenge being over before you've realised it had begun.

The instructions are childish and useless with the on screen prompts just as helpful meaning that the game doesn't really have any direction. When a challenge begins you have absolutely no idea what you are supposed to be doing. Then your given 3 seconds to do it. When your not taking a challenge you can move your player around the screen to put off the player actually taking the challenge. This makes it even more difficult to work out what the challenge actually is. The results is that you have absolutely no idea what is going on. Completing a challenge is complete luck, making the game utterly pointless.

The graphics and sound are so poor that in many ways it is actually a bonus that the challenges are over so quickly. We did have some laughs playing this game but that was at just how poor the game was and at me for paying 20 quid for it.

Party games are great fun (usually) but this is one to steer well clear of.

this is one...hell...this is the greatest multiplayer game EVER. you do extremely simple random Microgames which last around five seconds each. even simple stuff like brushing teeth is in here. When i got this game. i invited my friends over immediatley and we were laughing so much. one of them needed an ambulance. in my opinion. this is a great game, but is just let down by the poor Single player mode.

It was bound to happen...True multiplayer madness. Wario Ware Inc. Mega Party Game$ is the best multiplayer title since Super Smash Bros. Melee. As a single player experience, it comes out as a little shallow. If you're
fortunate enough to own 3 friends, then you're in luck. With 12 modes of multiplayer games, each of which can be played with 2,3,or 4 players, things can get out of hand.
Some modes of play include one of my favorites, "Card E-Cards", which takes on a card game mechanic, and then theres "Wobbly-Bobbly", Where players must balance on top of turtles (don't ask) in-between mini-games. The only real downsides of this game is the single palyer aspects, with no new micro games, and the fact that all the micro games are directly emulated from the GBA version of Wario Ware. But if you're looking for some true fun with your friends, Wario Ware Mega Party Game$ is definatly worth a purchase.
