Wario Land II

"Gimmie a W! Gimmie an A! Gimmie a R-I-O! Give it a ten!"

This must be the best Game Boy Color game ever released. Wario Land 2, starring Nintendo's “big star”, Wario, was one of the first games ever released on Game Boy Color. I got this game three years ago, and it's still the best Game Boy Color Games, yet! This is what I thought:

Story: Three Black Sugar Pirate Gooms have stolen Wario's treasure! As Wario, you must track them down. You can take multiple paths along the way. You can take any way, and it may be the closer one toward the end. Final Score: 10/10

Gameplay: As I said before in the story, Wario must follow the three Pirate Gooms, and get his treasure back. There are 50 levels in the game. Through the game some weird reactions happen to Wario. Sometimes, he eats a cake, and gets fat. Other times, he sets himself on fire. He even gets turned into a zombie. Quite addictive and fun! Final Score: 10/10

Controls: Once you get used to the controls, they are quite easy to understand. A button: Jump, high jump, butt bounce, crouching jump. B button: Charge attack, throw an enemy. Start: Pause. Left or Right: Move in that direction, and get near an enemy to pick it up. Down: Crouch. Final Score: 9.8/10

Graphics: Also pretty good! I like it when Wario kills an enemy with his barge attack! I also like it when Wario floats through the air as flat Wario! Final Score: 9.9/10

Music / Sound: The music is excellent, and the sound is pretty funny to listen to, too! Final Score: 9.9/10

Fun: This game is fun, once you have completed all 50 levels. Final Score: 10/10

Replayability: This has got to be the best replayability I've ever seen! I could play some levels for hours and hours, again and again, day, after day, week, after, week, month after month! Final Score: 10/10

Buy, rent, or neither: What else would I say, except buy, of course! Listen to me! You can look for it in Funcoland for about $15, or search for it on Ebay for about the same price.

Final Score for game: 10

One of the first games for Nintendo Game Boy Color, and it's still the best around! It's nine times better than the Pokemon series, it's twelve times better than the Sonic Series, and it's forty times better than Yu-gi-oh (I'd know it without the exclamation point, because I hate it)!
