What Parents Need to Know
This review of WarioWare: Smooth Moves was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know there is some mild animated violence in the game, such as pushing down a person with your palms (holding the Wii controller, of course). This E+10-rated game has an ESRB's "Crude Humor" warning because the gameplay includes pulling a hair out of someone's nose and putting dentures into an elderly woman's mouth. That said, most of the 200 microgames are wacky, silly, and loads of fun.

- Families can talk about the zany premise behind this game. Do you even notice the game's storyline when the Mini games take just seconds to play? What about the wacky animated shorts between Mini games -- do these add to the game or should there be more activities? What's your favorite way to wield the Wii? What game would you create to match this playing style?

What’s the Story?
In case you haven't played an older WarioWare game, these titles offer increasingly challenging microgames that take only a few seconds apiece to complete (along with a few slightly longer Mini games). In WARIOWARE: SMOOTH MOVES, all 200 or so microgames are divided into "forms" based on how you're supposed to hold the controller. For example, the basic controller form is called "remote control," where you hold the Wii remote like a TV remote (pointed at the screen); a related microgame may have you shine a flashlight to expose a little critter hiding in a dark room or vacuum up blowing leaves by moving your arm up and down. At the end of each section is a final "boss" level, with a slightly longer and more difficult task to complete.

Is It Any Good?
While the story is difficult to follow, the animated cut-scene sequences are amusing to watch before and after each group of microgames is completed. The entire game can be completed in a weekend, but at least you can unlock additional content -- including Mini games such as an Arkanoid-style breakout game and ping-pong -- as well as a few multiplayer modes for up to four players, animated story sequences, and collectible cards.
Quite simply, WarioWare: Smooth Moves was made for the Wii. This fantastic game for short attention spans takes full advantage of the clever Wii remote and its built-in motion sensor. This family-friendly collection of microgames is a blast to play -- and even fun to watch someone else try.

Soooo much fun!
Our whole family loves this wacky game. Particularly fun for adults are the little shorts that introduce each "form." They sound remarkably -- in tone and words -- like the old Saturday Night Live "Jack Handey" thoughts. Great fun -- and definitely challenging!
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
goofy game= lots of fun
This game is a must have if you have just bought a wii. It is a wario ware game, so the micro games may be disturbing to some, especially the one where to pass you must pick your nose, but most of them make you laugh out loud! I say 9+
