Good concept, bad controls.

There has been a WarioWare game for almost every Nintendo console 2000-present. If you are unaware of the concept for WarioWare games, this is it in one word: "microgames". You've got minigames, but these are MICROgames. Games that are supposed to be completed in 10 seconds or less.
Each WarioWare game brings something new. For example, touch-screen controls for WarioWare: Touched! or the ability to make your own microgames in WarioWare: DIY! This time, it's making use of the DSi camera feature.
There are four different levels, each with their own theme. Wario is for starters, but Jimmy T can make you an actor, just with 5 photos! Mona provides a "level-up" from Wario and Kat & Ana involve multiplayer.
So you choose a level and you have to line up your face and one of your hands with a template... this can be a challenge. The game is very picky and won't take your photo unless the backdrop, light conditions and line-up are perfect.
Then when it comes to playing the game, sometimes it won't recognize your face or hands which can result in no picture for that level! Even when Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was playing it, he had some problems!
This game on DSiWare costs 500 points, the equivalent to £5.00. This might be decent value in real life, but 500 points in DSiWare is a lot. 200 points (£2.00) would make this game's value decent.
Overall, the game is a bit expensive and considering there are only four levels (excluding credits), the game's replay value will be limited. The concept seems fun but the controls just don't work! It's a nice addition to the WarioWare family, but I'm glad it's DSiWare and not a real Nintendo DS game.
OVERALL: 4.5/10
