What? Get ready for some excitement.  WarioWare Smooth Moves is a collection of almost 200 mini games.  Each game last about 5 seconds and asks you to use the Wiimote in a number of unique ways. Each mini game has its own unique element: one second you’ll be sweeping leaves off the ground, the next you’ll be shaving a characters face.  Weird, random and fast are ways to describe this game.  Oddly enough, they all come together to make quite the exciting party game.

Why? The basic setup of WarioWare Smooth Moves allows even the most casual gamer to get into the action.  While the descriptions on how to use the Wiimote for each mini game may be confusing at first, users will pick up on the motions rather quickly through trial and error.  The multiplayer aspect has players passing the Wiimote to each other while taking turns, which adds a lot more excitement to the game.  This game is ideal for game programming at libraries because it is quick and easy to use.

Who? Casual gamers will love all the Nintendo references and goofy trivia packed into the  game.  Laid back gamers will be confused by the controller scheme at first, but after 5 minutes they’ll be pros. 

WarioWare Smooth Moves is a good family game to enjoy on a rainy night.  The one player mode may leave you feeling a bit bored after only an hour or two, but the mini games that become available after completing the game in one player mode add some more excitement for cooperative play.
