Wario Master of Disguise 

 

Wario Master of Disguise on the Nintendo DS is one of the biggest surprises this year. Wario gets inspiration from a television show about a thief, and winds up taking his magical wand and searching for treasure. The wand teaches the player how to draw certain shapes that grant Wario special powers in the form of different suits. There are plenty of puzzles in this game that the ESRB gave an ‘E10+’ for Everyone 10 years old or older. The descriptors are Crude Humor, and Mild Cartoon Violence.

The graphics in Wario Master of Disguise are very bright and colorful. In fact the environments are very lush, and detailed. There is cartoon violence as Wario can shoot, breath fire, jump on, and other forms of disposing of the cartoon enemies in this game. Out of all of Wario’s costumes there was only one that bothered me - Wicked Wario. Wicked Wario looks like a devil outfit. It is cartoonish, but still made me feel uneasy.

I love cheerful, uplifting, and positive music. Wario Master of Disguise has some very nice music that brings a smile to my face. All of the sounds but one work beautifully in this game. That one sound is Wario’s laugh, which is just freaky. This game also has a lot of junior high style name calling (i.e. jerk, buffoon), and Wario has a real bad attitude of selfishness.
Nintendo has high standards of any video game that uses any of their established characters. Wario Master of Disguise is no different, and there is plenty of items to find, secrets to discover, and play value to be found. The difficulty of this game is one of the biggest surprises, and in my humble opinion this game can be worth your money if you are patient with learning all the different suits, and taking time to think about how to solve puzzles.

The level design in Wario Master of Disguise is pure genius. Complex is another way to describe it, and there are some real brain teasers in here as well. The controls, especially the bottom screen of the Nintendo DS function perfectly. The changing of different suits is smooth, and I found a lot of fun in this one. The mini games by which treasures are acquired are a lot of fun, but can get tedious near the end.

The different characters insulting one another is very noticeable in this game, as is some really bad attitudes. I would recommend an age of a teenager as a minimum for this game, and not because of content. The difficulty of some of the puzzles, and mini games is going to be above those of most children. It was nice that the magic wand was trying to correct Wario in the mistakes he was making. The whole disguises concept was an interesting that should be explored in future games.
