I am thoroughly enjoying my Nintendo Wii. While I love and still play the Wii Sports (that came with the game), I thought it might be cool to check out another game.

Gamespot has always been one of my trusted sources for gaming information, so I naturally turned to their Wii section for their recommendations. I noticed that WarioWare: Smooth Moves had an extremely high score (Gamespot hardly ever gives things in the 9 range). This was also backed up by an average score of 8.2 from other reviewers and 8.8 from 1,742 other Gamespot users. I was sure this was going to be a winner!

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I bought it and played it… for 5 minutes! This game totally sucks. Maybe it’d be a “cool” game if you’re drunk, but not if you have any speck of brain cells. It’s basically comprised of mini-games (so you don’t actually get a chance to get “good” at any aspect) and the game’s challenge comes in springing up different mini-games (so you don’t actually get any time to figure out what you need to do to win, before the 7 second time-limit is reached).

So that’s another $50 down the drain… another game to join my pile of unopened Xbox games
