An addicting entry in the WarioWare series...
Not Recommend---People expecting an extensive game with a lot of story elements and new surprises around every turn
The WarioWare series of games are popular with Nintendo's handhelds. It started on the Game Boy Advance a number of years ago, made it's way onto the GameCube (as an extended version of the Game Boy Advance one), and now it's on the DS as WarioWare: Touched (WarioWare: Twisted came out after this for the Game Boy Advance, and after that was WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii). Basically, the WarioWare games consist solely of mini-games, each time using a unique feature. The DS version, of course, uses the touch/blow feature as the gimmick. It's really fun and works better than the first 2 entries in the series (nothing, however, beats Twisted). What you do is choose a character, who has their own set of mini-games, and you play all the way through their short thrills. Along the way, you try to get a high score to unlock even more characters and you try to play as many stages as you can to unlock as many mini-games to play separately in a different mode. These mini-games are really fun, and there's a huge variety of them. Each character also has their own theme to their games. For instance, one character's mini-games are all 5 second versions of 8-bit Nintendo classics, while another character's mini-games require you to blow into the microphone for all the games. There are also combination characters that mix different themes into their mini-games. Each character has their own little short story, as well, but it's just a small animated cutscene that lasts less than a minute and has no audio dialogue. Besides the main game, there are also toys you can unlock and a mini-game mode, among other minor things. The toy mode is actually really fun and exciting. When you complete a certain objective in the game, you unlock a new toy for the toy room. Some toys are actually new mini-games, and others are real toys that you play with with the stylus. For example, there is a yo-yo that you spin with the stylus, or the clown that juggles. There are also voice-activated toys such as a mechanical parrot that records a 5-second voice memo that's funny to hear when played back. As for the mini-game mode, you can play any mini-game you've unlocked and try to get a high score for it. You can play them for as long as you want, and this is handy if you're just in the mood to play certain mini-games because some are realyl addicting. The negatives in this game are the repetitiveness and the boringness it has after a while, especially when you are close to or already did beat the game. Playing the same things over and over isn't that much fun, but if you haven't played it for a while it's nice to come back to it. Overall, this is a really fun game.
Overall---If you own a DS and you're looking for a game that really takes advantage of the touch screen, look no further than WarioWare: Touched!
