Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
Finally! A new Wario game since Wario Land 4! It's been ages! Before you go off and buy Wario Ware, you must first know that it is not an adventure type game like the Wario Land games. This game, however, is a big game composed of more than 200 "microgames". Now, what are microgames? They're just basically games that take five seconds of your time. Some people like to call them "retard games". But it turns out that they're actually kinda fun and sometimes can be hard.

There are 10 different genres that you must complete to get to the final genre. These genres are Introduction, Sports, Sci-Fi, Strange, NES Classics, Remix No. 1 (where there are games that you played in the previous genres), Reality, IQ, Nature, and Remix No.2 (same as Remix No. 1). Once you have completed all of these genres, then you are faced with the final genre: Anything Goes. Technically, what you have to do is go through a series of microgames with Wario's face on them and fight a big square at the end of the genre (yes, a big square).

There's also a 2 player mode but two people have to be playing on the same GBA, using either the L or R button (but you could play by yourself). And, there are also games that are unlocked once you complete certain genres. There's Paper Plane, where you fly a paper plane downward, Skating Board, where you jump to avoid the obstacles in your way, and Jump Forever, where you jump rope till you trip and fall.

There's another thing to this game, it is very, very weird. But that may be a good thing. Originality doesn't really come a lot these days, and this is a fresh step Nintendo is making. Also, there really is no story in this game, so if you're looking for a good story for your GBA, wait for the next Final Fantasy game. If you're expecting this game to be the next Wario Land game, wait for Wario World(GameCube).

Overall, this game is really good, and I suggest that anyone who owns a GBA or GBA: SP must at least give it a try. The controls are really simple, all you need is the D-Pad and the A button, and it's always good to have whenever you're bored. Plus, it has Duck Hunt (NES) and Dr. Wario (originally Dr. Mario for SNES)! 9.5 out of 10.
