Where the Wii mote really uses its potential
So, I tried it myself, and it is fun. WarioWare: Smooth Moves is just like a big compact mini-game centre, showing you all the different ways you can play with the Wii-mote. Frankly, I think that Nintendo should have put WarioWare: Smooth Moves in the pack for the Wii instead of Wii Sport, though that's my point of view.
Back to the game, each set of mini-games has some sort of little story behind it, which is nice and some times funny but doesn't add much depth as there isn't really a plot behind it. All it does is chop the mini-games in some themes, like the video game store where the mini-games are based on famous Nintendo games (my favorite level of the game), though some of the mini-games are randomly put. The game can be finished in a couple of hours, the real challenge is to get all the mini-games and bonuses. Once that is done, well invite friends and have some rounds to see who is the most skilled with the Wii-mote! But if you're always playing it by yourself, you'll grow tired of the mini-games after playing for quite a while.
Graphically the game is unique, it switches from 2D to 3D and what may some times seem like a 3 year old’s drawing. I guess it’s the fun and children style WarioWare series always had, I can not say I’m very fond of the style, but it does add into the fun.
Musically, well I can’t really say much, I don’t find the music to be great or horrible, just some sort of tool to accompany the game…
Now to the gameplay. WarioWare: Smooth Moves, like I have said, really shows the potential of Wii’s system. The many different manoeuvres that the player can do is what makes this game so fun and entertaining. It is maybe, for the moment, one of the best uses of the Wii’s system.
To sum it all up, WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a game any Wii owned should have, it may even be a way to practice on your Wii-mote skills, who knows !
