WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Reviewed by:

Wario, for the uninitiated, is the Bizarro version of Nintendo's good guy, Mario. Wario is obese. He has a jagged mustache. He has Saddam eyes. He's always rubbing his hands together each time he hatches yet another evil deed. And his videogames are either a pleasure or a pain, depending on your feelings about mini-games. Mini-games, for the uninitiated, are games that last five seconds or less. (Sort of like you would trying to have sex with Jessica Alba.) Said mini-games involve frying food in a wok, saving a girl dangling off a building, or—holy sexual subtext, Batman!—spraying a winner's podium with white, frothy champagne. You'll have to hold the Wii remote in no less than 19 different ways while playing Smooth Moves, including putting the remote on top of your head, and/or on the tip of your nose, all while hopping around your living room like a Bellevue escapee. Our advice: lower your expectations, and your blinds, before putting this disc into your Wii.
