Fans of the WarioWare series will find more of what they love in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Nintendo Wii. Newcomers will be confused and eventually amused by the title's quirky and fast-paced collection of frantic minigames. WarioWare's charm comes from barraging the player with small games - often consisting of simply pushing a button or moving the controller in one direction, lasting only a few seconds - at a breakneck pace. A dearth of multiplayer modes and unlockable side games provide some much-needed replayability.
