Recent Wario titles have been an excuse to indulge in hyper-surreal whimsy of the sort rarely seen in mainstream games. Game & Wario features a little bit of that, but mainly concerns itself with pairing gamepad and TV screen in new or unusual ways, something it rarely manages to make terribly exciting. Among forgettable single and multiplayer games there are standouts: Gamer is a highlight and has you frantically trying to earn high scores on the gamepad while glancing at the TV to avoid getting busted by your mum for playing games after bedtime. While the other games aren't a total waste of time they lack the doolally personality or refinement of past Wario offerings.
