Game Overview

It's nice to know that in the fast-changing world of video games, some things never change. Take Mario's archrival. Wario looks great on the Game Boy Advance, but he's still the same money-mad rascal who has starred in some of the greatest hand-held platformers of all time. ??This time around, a tale about a golden pyramid is enough to send the big blowhard scurrying off to the nearest jungle. Sure enough he finds the joint, but before he can collect his booty he'll have to undergo a brain- and body-bending series of challenges.

The Bottom Line

Mario's wicked nemesis just doesn't know when to give up, as evidenced by this fourth chapter in the ongoing WARIO LAND saga. This time around, Wario finds himself in trouble when his greed lands him in the middle of a cursed pyramid. In search of gold and jewels, Wario entered the structure without paying heed to repeated warnings of the pyramid's curse, and now he'll be lucky to escape with his life. Make your way through 20 massive levels as the wicked Wario, collecting as many valuables as you can. You can use your findings to purchase bonus items at the end of each stage, using the acquisitions to further your progress in the game. There are plenty of punches, jumps, kicks, and tricks to master throughout the action, and there are even a handful of mini-games to keep you amused when you're not adventuring. Lots of bad guys and boss characters will try to make your escape more difficult, and there are plenty of unique challenges to stretch your reflexes and imagination.

Expert Reviews

87/100

score

The gameplay is tight and varied, the graphics are detailed and bright, and the sound is second to none.

90/100

score

Wario rocks -- there's a lot of variety in the game design and is more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level.

Wario Land 4: Best 4gotten

In short, the game is relatively fun and can be addictive in parts. But if you already own Wario... Land 3, then give this one a miss.
