Well it came today so I had a quick go on a 'toilet break' :)

It's brilliant, it really is. Much better than Wario Ware from What I've played.

I only got through the first chapter but already I've regurgitated goldfish, blown candles out, saved trolley riders from mines, opened parachutes and saved the prize girl from a stampede of raging bulls and skiing men!

It's got this charm about it which just brings a smile to your face on every game - from blowing into the mic, making your team go dizzy, to the little 'manly pose' your guy does every time he gets points.

The silhouettes are actually 3D too, not sprites. The sound is mint, although I had to turn it down, so as to not get caught :D

You know you're onto a winner when you're frantically tapping away at a giant bull to calm him down!

I recommend this to anyone with a DS - it really is something special!

Now to wait for Wario Ware DS and see if it can meet the challenge...

This game does sound promising though. But I have to admit, I would have usually ignored something like this. It was just the reviews that got me interested.

Well, Gamecube is region encoded so that might be why it didn't have one.

The GC version didn't have one, so you never know.

I'd be incredibly surprised if there was no English language option on Wario Ware DS, I really would.

Thats just it though. Although at first it may seem like the same kind of game, it really isn't. Sure, it's a bunch of mini-tasks, but they're executed so much differently.

In my opinion, I prefer this formula to the WW one.

I'm still really looking forward to WWDS though. Ashman, let me know if theres an English languafe option in it. FTM has both English and Japanese so I'm hoping the Jap WW will be the same.

I can't wait for the game, IGN gave it just 7.9 but they did insist I buy it. Not that they needed to, one of my more anticipated launch titles.

Must be real special if it beats Wario Ware.
