Review: Wario Land 4

Review by PONGSIFU | 11/19/2001 | 17:46:57 PM PST

Mario?s arch-nemesis comes to the GBA in Wario Land 4.

When a pyramid containing exotic jewels is discovered in the desert, the insidious Wario embarks on a crusade to plunder the ruins for all its riches in Wario Land 4, the newest platform adventure starring Mario?s archenemy. Boasting fantastic graphics and awesome transparency effects for water and fog, Wario Land 4 pushes the GBA to its visual limits. The action is always challenging and intense, as you have to collect jewel pieces that will open the next level, ignite a bomb, and then escape through a psychedelic vortex before you?re caught in the explosion. The hazardous level designs don?t make it easy for you: Each level is imaginatively designed and packed with a variety of traps, enemies, secret passages, and deadly obstacles that will keep your thumbs and your brain reeling. A rich and varied musical score (complete with real vocals!) and fun mini-games will delight those who thought they?d have to wait until next year?s Super Mario Advance 2 for a phenomenal 2D platform adventure on the GBA.
