This game is not that fun and not so lasting ethier. It might seem fun at first but will just get boring and easy. You also won't find a lot of story sequences driving Wario's adventure. The game gives you a little text explanation at the outset, saying that Wario stole an evil black jewel that transformed all of his treasure into monsters. You, as Wario, have to get that treasure back by beating up on all sorts of monsters. When one level is completed, the next one opens up and play continues. Wario World is a platform game, but it doesn't share a lot of common traits with the other 3D platformers, like Ratchet & Clank or Super Mario Sunshine. The camera in Wario World is locked into one perspective, and the action is always seen from this angle. Stunned enemies can be picked up and thrown or swung around and around to damage other foes, or you can do devastating spinning pile drivers on them, which has the added bonus of knocking out any other foes around you. Wario also has a shoulder charge. The goal in each level is to collect a specific number of jewels. Once you've gotten enough, you will get a downloadable minigame for the game Wario Ware: Mega Micro Games. You will also get crystals. The first level only requires three, but eventually you'll be tracking down five and six. After you have gotten enough you can open the path to that level's boss. These jewels are the rewards for solving puzzles in each level. The puzzles are of the platform-jumping variety and actually have a bit in common with Super Mario Sunshine's places that took off Mario's water pack and told you to hop across a collection of blocks. There aren't many levels in Wario. The game is split up into four worlds. Each world has two stages, each with a boss fight. Once you've cleared those two stages, a third boss fight opens up. Beating this boss opens up the next world. The game's levels are usually pretty big, and each offers two extra objectives, asking you to find eight pieces of hidden treasure and collect eight pieces of a gold Wario statue. Collecting the treasure unlocks downloadable games from WarioWare: Mega MicroGame. Completing the statue increases your maximum health. But increasing your heart count is never really an issue in Wario World, because the game is incredibly easy. Even with the game's levels being larger than average, the game still only has eight of them, and there really isn't much to do. The boss fights are all unique and cool, but they're also really easy. Also, the game lets you continue where you left off,even if that means starting back up in the middle of a boss fight, and you don't even have to pay that much. The game continually tosses coins at you, so provided you aren't going out of your way to run out of health, continuing shouldn't become an issue. Wario World has some graphical charm. While the enemies don't change much in attack type from level to level, they do at least look different to better fit the stage theme. The stages are pretty colorful, and generally speaking, everything looks cool. The texture work can get a little spotty at times, and the fact that the enemies near the end of the game are using the same basic animation as the ones you fight at the start gets a little boring. The game's boss stages provide a much-needed break from the monotonous look of the rest of the game, and some of these fights look really nice. There are some good things to it, but then again there are a lot of bad things too. Some people say to rent it because of the bad points, but you can't enjoy the good points of the game to the fullest by just renting it. Wario World is really one of your average uninspired game. No offence.
