WarioWare: Touched!

"Surprisingly good!"

When I bought a DS, I only had one game. It was Super Mario 64 DS. I beat it in four days, which left me bored with my DS for a while. That wasn't good. Then, I got this.

WarioWare Touched (WWT) is a fast-paced game full of addicting microgames. It starts off simple enough. Wario is cruising around town on a motorcycle looking for trouble, and along the way he runs into lots of microgames. Once you beat the "Boss" stage, some more characters will come along. Once you beat their "Boss" stages, you get (you guessed it) more characters. Eventually, they stop coming, but there are a lot.

Each time you play a new microgame, you "unlock" it and can play it in the Album section. Once all of a character's microgames are unlocked, that character gets a silver crown, and passing the microgames gives you a gold one. There isn't really a point to that, but it's there. And if you don't care, this is still a place to play a favorite game over and over and over again. Try the toilet paper one, it's a blast!!

There is also a toy room for your souvenirs. There is a freaky pink thing in the main area, and when it has something in it, give it a tap. A souvenir will pop out for your enjoyment. These are almost as fun as the games themselves. Several are virtual toys your parents probably played with, and they're still fun!

For those of you who have never used the microphone, this game has some microgames that do. Those games are fun, but don't give yourself a headache from blowing too hard.

That's about all there is to this game. Really. There is no more. This game is so simple, I think my dad could enjoy it, and he's not well coordinated with video games. It's very simple, but very addicting. It's also great, no, perfect for people with short attention spans. And for those of you who can pay attention for more than six seconds, there is a story to this game, too (sort of). It's VERY loose, and has pretty much no meaning. Either way, WWT is guaranteed to entertain you for hours.

Even though this game is short, don't rent it. Buy it. It is WAY too much fun, despite its crazy antics. What are you waiting for? Go buy WWT!!!!
