So far it's a lot like the GBA version in that 1 player is seemingly identical (which isn't a bad thing). But the multiplayer... ohhh, the multiplayer is simply sublime.
There are so many different modes and each one is nothign short of genius. Anyone with more than one controller should get this. Now. The fun of jumping out at the screen and making it shake by jumping while someone else it trying desperately to complete a mini-game is hilarious, especially when you try to cover up vital screen indicators, it's all about who's got the quickest reactions and works like an absolute dream.
Also, the Japanese game boxes... rock. I thought they were just regular DVD case size but it seems they aren't, they're the most stylish and brilliant looking disc holdy things ever. Plus they're oh-so small.
Really, massive contender for game of the year.
Isn't that a little disturbing? A game concerning various bodily fluids (or perhaps solids).

One for the kiddes
Multiplayer also keeps getting better and better, you really should get this as soon as you can before the Lik-Sang free shipping deal ends. Still, haven't seen any new minigames yet.

Yes and Return of the King is the worst movie ever, the two new Office episodes are a major let down, Mario 128 is a fantastic game and the best ever... and X-box 2 sucks.
And I knew all of that in exactly the same way you knew that Wario Ware isn't as good. If you'd even played the original then you'd know that you're statement wasn't just a waste of time.
VJ is easily better than anything I've played on an XBox, true its not a multiplayer game, and yet it is a 2-D side scrolling beat 'em up. Compared to a certain 3-D shooter (which I imagine is great fun, and I want to play) it is very different, but that does not mean it is any worse because of its genre/style/lack of online play.
Same with this.
Game of the year? nah, not even close.
