A bit of a let down....

User Rating: 6.5 | WarioWare: Touched! DS
As an avid fan of the WarioWare series, this was one of the first games that I purchased after getting a DS. However, after the first few days, I realized that Nintendo had gone a little downhill with this installment.

In the past games, WarioWare is a series in which Wario is creating his own video game. To do so, he has his friends create levels of their own microgames to provide for it. These microgames appear in each character's stage, and require a quick, simple action in a matter of seconds to complete before time runs out. While it may sound boring, it actually becomes quite fun.

As it is, the game is pretty fun up to the point of completion. There is a variety of mini-games to play with a number of prizes to tinker with after winning.

The problem is, the game lasted no longer than those first few days. The main storyline of the game took no time at all to beat. The levels were also extremely easy in comparison to the past games in the WarioWare series.

The mini games that could sometimes be won from the main game were a let down as well. They just weren't addictive enough and quickly got bored.

As for the rest of the so-called toys that could be won, most of the collection consisted of objects that performed a single action and then was done. The collection itself was quite small, as well, and was completed in very small effort.

If you're a very big fan of WarioWare, this game is worth the the purchase if you buy it at a used-copy price, (as I did.) If not, there are many more alternatives to try than this one.
