    For someone who feeds off of the connection between game and player, the kind of connection that only the very best can forge, an hour of Wario is worth ten of a game that only pays of sporadically. Wario World pays off every second I'm holding the controller, and that, to me, is greatness. [June 2003, p.60]

    Like "Luigi's Mansion," what's there is good. I just wish there was more of it.

    It's a fun, imaginative platformer that, though easily and quickly completed, is another solid first-party GameCube title. [July 2003, p.74]

    This is a pretty weird game.Not that it's a bad thing, it's just pure camp. But on the outside, it's a typical 3-D platformer with beat-em-up elements that don't work as well as one would hope that they would.… Expand

    A terrible beat-em-up slash mediocre platformer, with some of the most agrivatingly idiotic challenges in gamecube history.
