This game has some very nice features. There is a lot to do. You travel around helping out ten different characters by playing minigames. Successfully completing enough minigames for each character earns you victory, and a movie. What's special is that each minigame lasts about 5 seconds, at the end of which you lose if you haven't finished, and then you move on to the next one. Each set of minigames is only 10-25 games long, the last of which is a boss fight. These boss minigames are tougher to beat than the others and last longer too, as there is no timer. Another nice thing about the game is that you can go back and replay any games you want when you win, either by set of games or single-game. As you progress you can also unlock bonus games as well as multiplayer games. Unfortunately, like all good things, this game does have some weak points. Every single game has a different control scheme and you have no time to figure it out before the game starts. It is also almost impossible to figure out what you are supposed to do in some games. Finally, because the minigames are completely unrelated, the graphics change dramatically from game to game. See WarioWare: Smooth Moves for Wii.
