Wario World
Review by BluePenMan
"Since when does Mario use wrestling moves?"
Since when does Mario use wrestling moves? And when has he ever worn purple and yellow? Oh wait! Thats not Mario! Thats his extra portly purple wannabe! Nintendo has always made good games with Wario, but this is the worst of all. This also encourages kids to get fat, and be greedy, and attack helpless little shelless turtles, a mother's very worst nightmare. So do not let little kids play this game if you are afraid of them wanting to get fat! If you're expecting too high game quality this time, or you like to watch extra chunky Mario spinoofs tripping around a kiddy type world putting wrestling moves on everything that moves, then read this review, and your expectations will drop by about about 8 points.
Gameplay: When you first pop the game into your gamecube, and start playing, you'll wonder, ''Is my controller broken?'' No, your controller is fine, its just the bad controls. All the moves are hard to learn, and the movement is very shaky. You'll have a hard time moving this fat, ugly guy around this hideous world. The hard controls add the to games difficulty. It's hard to move straight, so you'll be falling into pits, and getting eatin every five minutes. This makes the game very un fun. So getting this chubby, Mario wannabe around could make younger players frustrated. With all this in mind, the gameplay earns a disapointing 2/10
Story: This game's story is pretty basic. Nothing too flashy, or good here. Plus, once you read what is going on, it just drops you in the little meddow, and makes you figure out what you're doing on your own. It doesn't even explain why you have to fight a giant dinasaur in a tu-tu. You'll be confused on what you have to do, and it will make the game much less fun. But it's kinda fun to laugh at the super fat Mario wannabe running around in a kiddy world pulling wrestling moves on ugly looking creatures. But it's very confusing as to why a fat man who wants to be Mario goes off on an adventure, when he could be eating instead. So the story hardly eanrs a low score of 1/10
Graphics: These horid graphics make Wario's already oversized belly look extremely chunky, and ugly. And whats that pink thing on Wario's face!? Oh, it's his weird looking nose! With these bad graphics you won't be able to tell what it is right away. It's hard to tell what some things are, and the graphics make you want to puke. You'll be flabergasted to find out, that the giant green beast you're fighting is really a crocodile in a tu-tu. After you've played the game for 10 minutes you'll be saying to yourself, ''I've seen Atari games with more attractive looks than this.'' Then you'll run screaming from the room, because you've never seen anything so disgusting. With that in mind, you won't be one bit amazed that the graphics earn a 3/10
Sound/Musice: Na na na na naaa! You think thats annoying? Well, you better get used to it, because you here that annoying sound all through the game. And every other sound in the game is even worse! And don't even get me started on the terrible music! It sounds like somebody is skinning a cat! This nightmare of a soundtrack will make you think you're going def, and you might want to be until you finish the game. Or you could wear earmuffs so you don't have to listen to the annoying, immature sounds and level musics. The sound and music thus earn a very pitiful 2/10
Playtime/Replayability: Once you get over the nightmare of the music, and the scary graphics, you'll be glad to know it only lasts a few hours. The shortness of the game is the best quality, so you'll only have to put up with it for not even a day. But you perfectionists might be happy, because this game only takes 6 hours to get 100% on. And once you finish it for the first time, you won't want to take all that torture again, so you'll put it away on the shelf for good. But if you want to sell it after you've completed it, go ahead, it will be the best thing you've ever done. After you read that, I bet you aren't surprised to see that it earned a 2/10!
Final Recommendation: Don't buy this game, it's a waste of your money. You might want to rent it though, just to see how bad it is, and make fun of it. But all in all, it's not worth getting, or even renting if you're looking for fun. And if you get it for your birthday, tell your parents that you want to trade it in right away. Don't worry, show them this review, and they'll understand your scared plight!
