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...

Well I just went and ordered Wario Ware and Feel The Magic, so I can give direct impressions when I get 'em sometime next week.

Yay me.
Boo my wallet.

I feel the same about your posession of Super Mario :D

Managed to get another bash on it and made it to the level after the 2nd Boss.

It really is so varied in the stuff it asks of you, and although the first comparison you'd think of is Wario Ware, I'd have to say that it's in a league of it's own. Only a few missions have a time limit, some have an individual limit (don't let the guys sink in the sand too much or they'll get eaten by the Antlion) and some don't have a limit at all, but test your skill by the toughness of the level.

I don't know how long the game is, so longevity can't be commented on, but so far every task has been excellent.

Unicycling between skyscrapers? Catapulting people into a van to blow it up? Screaming your head off so your girlfriend can hear you?

Yeah go on then :)
