    A old school game at heart

    Wario Land Shake It for the Wii is probably one of the best platformers on the Wii.This review breaks down a lot of stuff you need to know about it and solve the unsolved.

    Control Scheme:
    You hold the wii remote on its side like any other regular platformer but when you get an enemy and coin bag,the gimmick of the game kicks in.You start shaking the wii remote like a madman and whatever is in the item, comes out, whether it be cloves of garlic(your health) or a bunch of treasure coins.The control scheme is simplistic and I like it that way.

    Gameplay:
    You go through enemy and treasure filled levels going through the themes of water,jungle,desert,graveyards and more.The levels are filled with a bunch of coins and treasures that are kind of hard to find but not too hard and you can go to treasure list to check them out and they have a bit of a giggly description to them.After you complete each continent, you face a bos and these bosses are unbelievably fun to beat.

    Graphics:
    2D cartoonish and is awesome

    Negatives:
    The game is way too simplistic and the constant shaking gets repetitve.


    If you love old school gaming, then check Wario Land out!

      Wario: Shaken, Not Stirred 0

         Wario has come a long way from being a main Mario villain on the Game Boy. The Wario Land series had a slow start, as the first couple were just sluggish, enemy-tossing versions of the classic Mario Formula. It wasn't until Wario Land 4 on the Game Boy Advance that the series really found itself, both in personality and in play. The attitude that became the bizarre micro-game fest that is the Wario Ware Inc. series started here. (Even the sound effects, which were just recycled). The game sti...
