More fun than I expected

User Rating: 7.9 | Kaitou Wario the Seven DS
Despite the many negative reviews, I decided to try this game anyway. Am I ever glad I did. While I am not a huge fan of the Mario platform type games, this game and Yoshi's Island DS are two of my favorite games at this time. While the mini-games can be a bit tedious and uneven in difficulty, the actual exploration of the crazy locations is a lot of fun. The story isn't brilliant, but it has enough twists and turns to keep me playing. Some of the touchscreen controls seemed really broken at first, but once I removed my screen protector, the accuracy of my stylus appeared to sharply improve (or did I just get better as kept playing?). Anyway the touchscreen aspects of the game did not hamper my enjoyment of this game. I only bring this up, because a lot of people seem to be critical of the touchscreen aspects of the game. Anyway, if you have $20 burning a hole in your pocket, go pick up a used copy. It is actually a pretty good game.
