Great game
What’s It About?
WARIOWARE: GET IT TOGETHER! is the latest game in the long-running franchise. Wario has gathered his crew of friends at WarioWare Inc. to develop a game collection that will take over the top of the sales charts. But surprisingly, the game suddenly runs a major bug that sucks everyone at the company into a console, scattering them throughout the newly designed levels. It's up to players, as Wario, to explore and succeed at each game in the collection to save his friends, uncover the cause behind the glitches, and escape the console before it's too late. Players will make their way through more than 200 different mini-games, each with their own goals, like avoiding incoming attacks, moving from one side of the screen to the other, or freeing trapped characters. Something that's unique to Get It Together is that players will be able to use the special abilities of Wario's team to succeed in their tasks, like leaping onto the ceiling or tossing a boomerang to clear targets. As you clear more stages, the speed of each game accelerates as well, forcing you to get quicker in your movements. One to two players can hop into the story mode to clear stages, or they can dive into the variety pack to take on one of 10 separate mini-games for up to four players. Finally, a single player can take on the Wario Cup, engaging in weekly challenges to earn currency for in-game unlockables or to climb global leaderboards. Will you be able to save WarioWare Inc. from its digital fate?
Is It Any Good?
Stretch your fingers and get ready to react quickly, because this collection of mini-games will test your reflexes against a ton of crazy goal-based scenarios. Warioware: Get It Together! builds on the format of the franchise, providing more than 200 different bite-sized scenes to play through in 10 seconds or less. Figuring out what you need to do has always been the biggest trick with Warioware games, and this is no different. In fact, this actually takes on a higher stake when you add in the individual abilities of each character. There are almost two dozen characters included in the game, each with their own special abilities that change how each mini-game is played. For example, if you have a character than can fly, crossing a stage is much easier to do than a character than can only use rings to cross areas. That makes it even trickier to get used to every single element for every single game. As a result, once you've unlocked everyone, you'll probably find the characters you really like and use them over and over again, potentially expanding out to other characters if you feel like it.
That's not to say that there's limitations here – there's a ton to do, especially as you unlock additional play elements. In fact, there's more of a reason to explore and hop back into previously played mini-games thanks to the missions feature, which gives you specific goals to complete in order to earn credits, which can be used to continue playing sessions or purchase items to level up each character in the Play-o-Pedia. This is a fresh way to keep players active and engaged, especially if they feel like they may be bored with some mini-games. The same could be said about the Wario Cup, which will update on a weekly basis with new tests for you to accomplish for a top score on a leaderboard and for bragging rights amongst your friends. Less impressive are the Variety Pack games. These are fine if you're playing with a few friends once or twice, but these solo games don't feel as impressive, random, or engrossing as the random nature of the games in the story mode. If you put this mode to the side though, the fast-paced nature of Get It Together! is sure to keep you blasting, jumping, and flipping through mini-games for weeks to come.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the appeal of mini-games. Does Warioware: Get It Together! appeal to a wider number of gamers because it has a variety of activities to engage in, or is it tailored for a smaller audience looking for shorter, bite-sized gaming sessions?
Is a game that relies on fast reflexes based on skill, instinct, or both? Can you train yourself to become better at these games, or will some people always have a natural edge because they react quicker than others?
