Nintendo Wii Review: Wario Land: Shake It! - Page 3

The last I had heard about Shake It!'s sales, they were down around 20,000 copies here in North America. That's it. If they're still that low, it's a damn shame because this is a pretty fun game. It is perhaps a bit short and maybe a bit too easy for vets, but it's one of the best games to come out for the Wii in 2008 and certainly the best Wii game out this holiday season from Nintendo. If you own a Wii and love platformers, do yourself a favor and pick this up. You won't be disappointed.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful and well-animated. Controls are simple to learn. Well-written storyline and script.

Cons: A bit short and perhaps not enough challenge for veteran "hardcore" platform fans.

Wario Land: Shake It! is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Comic Mischief and Mild Cartoon Violence.
