Five of which are for 2 players. All games are short fun hilarious encounters, as with other WarioWare micro-games. The title is for download (500 points) with other DSiWare on the Nintendo DSi Shop, available through DSi system (which includes 1000-points free, if used before Sept. 5th 2009). So, it's actually good enough. It used the front camera and microphone. They're short enough games so, having to keep the DSi on a flat surface, or still, is not a problem. It's fun to see other peoples, and yourself, after going through 5 micro-games (waving, wearing glasses, getting kissed, etc.) You must accept that its a (first release) DSiWare game that entertainingly uses the DSi system well. Also you must realize that YOU can make up rules, prizes, etc., (essentially use you imagination also) and you can play this anytime and anywhere, when you need some 'fun time', or when waiting for something. **SPOILER ALERT** There is one High Score microgame for the Credits (available right away), where you collect the letters of the credits. Also things "change-up" a little, the next time you or someone else plays. **SPOILER ALERT**

What Parents Need to Know
This review of WarioWare: Snapped! was written by Chad Sapieha
Parents need to know that this camera-based downloadable game for the Nintendo DSi is a safe bet for kids. Violence is limited to players using their hands to swat virtual flies and their heads to break apart digital slabs of rock. Social gaming is facilitated via a two-player mode, in which a pair of friends work together to complete each micro-game.

You can see everything WarioWare Snapped! has in ten or fifteen minutes, but it offers ongoing value by letting players engage in some of the micro-games with friends. Still, is this enough to get kids or parents want to part with five dollars?

What’s the Story?
WARIOWARE SNAPPED!, one of the first games to be made available through the Nintendo DSi's new online shop, feels a lot like previous WarioWare games. Players work their way through short series of micro-games that last no longer than ten or 15 seconds each. The shtick here is that all of these games make use of the DSi's internal camera, which captures players' movements. Players wave goodbye, pretend that they are dogs trying to shake themselves dry, and try to grab floating coins. After each set of games we're treated to a series of photos that shows us in a variety of awkward and usually humorous poses. A handful of games can be played with two players in front of the camera.

Is It Any Good?
Snapped! is a good concept that deserved to be fleshed out a lot more. Most of the micro-games are fun, but with only 20 of them scattered over four short levels, players will see everything the game has to offer in well under half an hour. And with no unlockable prizes, high scores, or plot, there's little reason to play again. Complicating matters is the game's iffy image recognition. There will be times when the camera can't distinguish your face or hands from your surroundings, rendering pointless all of your comical flailing. And since Snapped! can only be played with the DSi stationary and set on a table in front of the player, it feels rather like the antithesis of a portable game. Save your DSiWare points for something with a little more meat and utility. Close

"Look mom, no hands!"
It's a definite-buy for kids who buy the DSi and love Wario. It uses the inside camera to play the fun and crazy "mirco-games". The best part about it is that it makes a crazy video out of the pictures it took during your game. It's a truely awesome game!
