In a nutshell:
Wario is back with more new ways to use the Wii Remote than you'd ever imagine. Whether it's balancing it on your head or chopping vegetables in mid-air this is one game where you'll literally never know what's coming next.The lowdown:
Anyone that's played a previous Wario Ware game will have some idea of the insanity that awaits in this first Wii outing. Just like the portable versions the game contains over two hundred micro-games, most of which don't last any longer than five seconds. This provides the perfect excuse to use the Remote in as many ridiculous ways as possible, with each game using one of a dozen or so different ways of holding it, from the "waiter", where you hold it flat on your palm, to the "hula hoop" where you hold it against your hip. The actual games involve everything from picking someone's nose in 3D, to balancing an umbrella on your finger tips and replacing a granny's false teeth. It's just as silly as it sounds but easily the most instantly enjoyable game on the Wii. Most exciting moment:
Like the GameCube game WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$, Smooth Moves also has a multiplayer mode for up to four people, as you both take turns with the single player games and join in together with specially made mini-games. Since you ask:
Although there are a number of different modes the main single player campaign still includes a longer "boss battle" at the end of each set of themed micro-games. The only one that's been shown so far involves driving a car around using the remote and trying to avoid monkeys and cows on the road. The bottom line:
The Wii Remote gets a through workout in the funniest Wario Ware yet.- HARRISON DENT
Product Description
The WarioWare team took an idea so wacky, it could only be made with the latest technology ... the Wii Remote. Wario and his pals learn fun, wacky moves after discovering a strange book and a mystical device called the Form Baton. Players must clear fast-paced sets of microgames, changing the way they hold the Wii Remote each time. As they do, theyll unlock more microgames and souvenirs. Features: WarioWare is back with a whole new set of moves. When WarioTM stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With hundreds of microgames, this game is just as wild as youd expect from the name WarioWare, but the game play has been revolutionized. Under Warios tutelage, and with the help of the Wii Remote, players will swing, spin and squat their way to victory. With about 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing, WarioWare: Smooth Moves takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. All players need is a Wii Remote and their best moves to be the champ. With games that are as much fun to play as they are to WATCH people play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves brings the party to its feet. Its hilarious for players and audiences alike.

 My favourite game on the wii July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this game. It gets you right into the action from the beginning. When I have parties, this games really gets the mood up. All I have to do is to hand them the wiimote and tell them to hold it as the picture shows at the beginning of each minigame and off we go. The learning curve is pretty short and after a short attempt in the beginning with them sporting confused faces and generating laughter all around, things get a little more competitive and we come up with punishment and dares of the one who gets the lowest score on the same level on the single player.
As for the complaints of the negative reviews, I have to disagree. The cut scenes are easily skipped by pressing the A button after having played through the first time. By modifying the single player mode to suit multiple players, I can accomodate more than 4 players into the game without having to fork out for extra wiimotes. Anything can be done with my format, be it a clean and fun game with the loser doing a silly dare or make it a reason for friends to down a couple of shots. There is no boring waiting around for 3 other players to run around the board completing their turns and buying sweets as with Mario Party 8 (though I have to admit that I enjoy that game as well, albeit a more subdued one that requires patience at times). While one would have to wait their turn to play this game, they get to laugh at the silly actions and faces their fiends are having and shout out comments and pointers to help complete the level.
All in all, this game gives a lot, with games that require a quick pace and thinking but also a slower theme with the ping pong up the chimney and the block balancing games. Fast or slow, solo or group, its up to you.
Love it! July 3, 2008

This is the reason you buy a Wii (and Wii sports of course). Some of the games are so zany you just think 'what the ?!?!'. It is very funny and entertaining and has you jumping around the room doing the different 'forms' with your remote. Really good to play with friends but you can also have a laugh on your own trying to unlock everything. Kids might find some of the games a bit tricky (hell I found some of the games tricky!) but on the whole its pretty straight forward. It tells you how to hold the remote and you just go for it!. Highly recommended!.

This is one the best games that I own for the Wii so far. Before I bought it I wasn't so sure on the quick element to it, but that is what provides the most fun! Its best played with more than one person in my opinion but it is alright as a one player game as well. So get a few friends round and enjoy!
Awesome!!! April 5, 2008

I think this game is really brilliant!! Although multiplayer is a bit of a let down the one player is absoulutely great fun! With 100's of random minigames you dont know what to expect its always a laugh and even after you have completed it theres still fun inside it and more minigames to find! I think its worth all the money and is one of the best wii games I own and I highly recommend it.
Unique, unbeatable. March 13, 2008

It would take a lot of effort to sum up this game, so i will go straight to what you curious readers want to know, and what you need to know.
Wario Smooth Moves is the heartbeat of the Wii. It is the game that has been advertised most for one clear reason: to promote the unique usage of the Wii remote and show off how it makes the WII console an extremely enjoyable, fun and social item.
Wario Smooth Moves is all about learning to use the Wii remote in ways you cannot imagine. The 1 player storyline has been made to gradually understanding the different moves and actions of the remote. By the time you finish the 1 player game you will have tried all the possible moves.
Multiplayer mode remains locked until the game is finished.
The fact you need to finish the 1 player game could be frowned upon, but it is an intelligent approach. This is because in order to play the game at least one person needs to understand the moves which are required (the moves you need to make are shown with a picture right before the start, if you have not played this game before you will not have a clue what to do, and it is extremely entertaining to see someone try to explain to someone else the moves you have to make!) The 1 player game can be finished in a couple of hours or less.
But this game is definitely not about 1 player mode. The 1 player mode is ocnsidered to be an introduction to the game, which is what multiplayer mode is all about. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed a playing a videogame with others as much as I have done with this one. There is a whole assortment of game styles to choose from, and quite incredibly up to 12 people can play at a time!
Imagine having to use the wii remote to "pump a ball" in just 3 seconds or managing to drink a pint of water by slowly tilting the wii remote towards your mouth as if it was the glass (and trying not to spill it!) in front of 11 people...
Quite simply, Wario Smooth Moves insures laugh-out-loud moments in bonding sections with family and friends. If you own a wii, this game is a must-have; if you are thinking of purchasing a wii, this should definitely be another reason why you should go for it!
Do read my review on the Wii if you are interested in this console. As for Wario Smooth Moves, my message is clear: it is the most sociable game ever made, and guarantees loads of fun and laughter!
