Wario Land Shake It
SCORE: 59
Wario has his own odd twist to the Mario games. In Wario Land Shake It we are off to save a princess. Sound familiar? Well Wario could care less about the damsel in distress. Instead he cares more about an endless bag of gold. Shake the bag and gold comes flying out. Shake the bag again, and more comes out. It is a bottomless pit of cash for those with endless greed in their hearts. We have to play this greedy character.
Wario Land Shake It starts with a really neat anime like movie. Sadly there is enticement to lust issues in this game. I have to ask why? We also deal with the violent content in Wario Land Shake It. Wario destroys these creatures in a variety of different ways.
The screen on Wario Land Shake It is a square inside a rectangle. This hurts this Wii game in a couple of ways. It does not look right, and feels small. Rehash is another way to describe many of the graphics in Wario Land Shake It.
Speaking of that rehash - the special effect sounds. First off they get annoying. Second off they have been used in previous Wario Land games. Nintendo re-uses existing content, and then tacks a fifty dollar price tag on it. Why not just expect gamers to send you so much money every single month for little to nothing new? Wario is not the only one with a greed problem in this situation.
Wario Land Shake It is extremely short. It can be beaten in under six hours. Again the price and the content are not matching up. Nintendo threw together rehash and expected gamers to pay their high price tag. The graphics are meh, and the sounds are recycled.
The level design in Wario Land Shake It is boring. Shaking the Wii Remote for a variety of reasons becomes trite very quickly. We go to the end of a level to free some flying creature. We then have to go all the way back to the beginning of the level.
Be sure to
collect all the treasure you can since that is used to open the next
world. Pass on Wario Land Shake It.
