WarioWare: Twisted! Critic Reviews

Despite this being the fourth UK instalment and despite the core concept being one of the simplest things since Tetris, Wario Ware Twisted feels utterly unique.

Simply put, Twisted! is an undeniably brilliant, polished and hugely enjoyable game that should be in every collection, and it stands as an unsurpassable bookend to the GBA era.

There's definitely something special about WarioWare Twisted!

The innovative controls (did I mention the rumble?), the huge amount of microgames, and the overall quality of WarioWare Twisted! ranks it right up there with the original, far surpassing even the Nintendo DS version as the most impressive WarioWare title yet.

Tops the original in terms of intuitive gameplay, graphics and sound... but the basic formula hasn't changed a bit. Which is good, it probably doesn't need to be changed.

A must-have for the GBA? Absolutely. It's far more creative, much deeper, and a heck of a lot more fun than previous games in the series, including the Nintendo DS system's "WarioWare Touched."

One of the best games ever for the GBA, and one which will probably be the best game for the GBA this year.

Its fun and quirky nature will pull you in and won't let you go until you're done with the game, and even then you'll come back for more.

The best version of WarioWare released to date. The Gyrosensor, though certainly still a gimmick, is a fantastic addition to the series and allows gamers a chance to experience gaming on a totally different and completely matchless level.

It is a terrific game with an innovative control scheme that really has to be tried. My only concern is how silly I look while playing it in public.

Insanely fun to play and is one of those rare games where you'll have a smile on your face the entire time playing it.

It's worth mentioning that WarioWare: Twisted is best on the original Game Boy Advance because of its one-piece architecture, but you won't be disappointed regardless of which Nintendo handheld you play it on.

In many senses WarioWare Twisted is utterly unique, brilliantly implemented and full of surprises. As GBA purchases go, the recommendation comes no higher than this.

Easily one of the most ingenious games ever designed. Not only is it one of the most fun games you can play, it's one of the most innovative releases of this - or any - generation of games.

The gyro may seem like a gimmick – and it probably is – but that doesn't make Twisted any less worthy of the WarioWare moniker – it's fun, challenging, and ever so twisted.

It becomes a perfectly credible control system that's not necessarily superior but definitely the equal of conventional controls, at least when utilised in this specific instance. It's something you'll never have seen before and will possibly never see again - and it's all the more fun for it.

Twisted, a lowly GBA game, is everything that the DS-powered "Touched" was not. It's big, it's funny, it's well designed, and it's fun.

The technology works perfectly - spinning your GBA around feels utterly alien yet supremely fun.

It's simple enough to pick up and play for a couple of minutes, but engaging enough to keep you enthralled through a long commute or on a cross-country flight.

The idea may be twisted, but the execution is purely logical fun.
