By cursedspirit33 | Review Date:
I remember playing the first Wario Land on Gameboy, thinking it was so-so. This one caught my eye the other day, so I figured, why not, it should be better by now. Wrong.

Gameplay: At first, there is some fun behind Wario Land 4. The controls are easy, and the stages aren't really hard either. But it gets boring doing the same thing over and over again.
Graphics: Typical GBA graphics.
Sound: Not bad I suppose. Nothing really special though.

Needless to say, I'm left unimpressed. It's your average "go through the levels and beat the boss" game. One of the few original concepts of Wario Land 4 are the minigames, which are more of a chore than fun. You need to play them to win medals, which are the currency if you'd like to buy items to make boss fights easier, which is nice, but takes away some from the enjoyment of the battles.

All in all, unless you are a diehard Wario fan, just pass on this one. It's okay, but after a while, you'll get tired of it.

    I have, for the longest time, loved the concept of Wario. The evil darker half of Mario who wants nothing more than to be richer and more powerful than his adversary ever could be! Wario won't let no one stand in his way... Read Full Review
