 Excellent 2D Platformer From Nintendo Oct 04, 2008
By T Boz
First, do NOT listen to the review from the irate parent because their child couldn't figure this game out. This is a traditional 2D platformer from the people who invented the platformer, Nintendo. Similar to recent releases like Super Paper Mario, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Mega Man 9, this game goes back to the roots of what made gaming fun back in the 80s, the levels. Holding the Wiimote sideways, you use the traditional button layout to control Wario, and shake it to release coins from enemies and money bags. Another cool feature of this game is the excellent hand-drawn animation from Japanese studio Production I.G. Not only do the animated cut scenes look great, but the in-game animation of Wario and especially his enemies is amazing to watch, and enthralling to play. If you remember the good old days when gaming wasn't all about the polygons, then this one's for you.

For Casual Gamers who Enjoy Fun 2D Platformers Oct 23, 2008
By Krishna M. Sadasivam
"pcweenies dot com cartoonist"
I purchased WarioLand ShakeIt! primarily because I'm a fan of old school 2D platform games. The Nintendo Wii was the first console I've owned since the Super Nintendo. This game harkens back to the days of yore, when games were fun and engaging.
WarioLand ShakeIt! features excellent graphics, catchy soundtrack tunes, and more importantly, engaging playability. The game uses the Wii controller at key points throughout the game. The level of control in using the controller can range from intuitive (shaking coin bags) to downright frustrating (controlling a unicycle). This is part of the challenge of the game. With practice, I expect to have more command over some of the controls.
The game serves as a perfect introduction for people who like casual gaming. There is an introductory level where you can practice techniques to get a feel for the game mechanics.
Each stage of the game includes several missions, which are above and beyond the task of clearing the level. These missions are challenging, and will require multiple replays to clear. That's part of the fun this game has.
I'm working my way through the game methodically - playing each level and trying to complete each mission before moving along. I've had this game for almost 3 weeks now, and it's still as fun and engaging now as it was when I first purchased it.
Advanced gamers may be quick to put this game down (I've heard reviews complain of the game's short length -pegged at 6 hours or so) - but I think there's really more here (especially with the missions) that makes the game a true challenge.
Do I enjoy WarioLand: ShakeIt? Yes, wholeheartedly. Would I buy this game again? Absolutely.

An excellent platformer that reminds us all that the genre can still be done on consoles Feb 08, 2009
By 0verthrown
"(also known as TissueShoe)"
Positive:
+ 2-D cartoon graphics look very sharp
+ solid gameplay with some great elements new to the series
+ smooth controls that also don't over use motion capabilities
+ tons of treasures and missions add a lot of replay value
+ full of that funny, weird Wario personality and style
Negative:
- main adventure is pretty easy
Wario Land was my favorite game from the original GameBoy, and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a 2-D platformer as much as I enjoyed it. When I heard the series was going to Wii as a full retail game, though, I had my doubts about how worthwhile it would be at full price. 2-D games have been very overshadowed by 3-D in this generation, and now gamers (myself included) are starting to feel that 2-D games are inferior to those in the third dimension. Does Wario Land: Shake It only further push those assumptions or does it prove us wrong?
Wario Land has a funny story, but it doesn't show up very often. Basically the Shake King has taken over the Shake Dimension, imprisoning all the cute little residents, kidnapping the princess, and taking the great treasure: a coin bag that always gives you coins when you shake it. The only one to escape this horrible occurrence (named Merfle) somehow finds Wario in his own dimension, going on with his normal daily life. Captain Syrup and Merfle enlist Wario's help in getting back the land, the princess, and most importantly the coin bag, and that's the last you hear about the story until you defeat the Shake King. Both the beginning and end cutscenes have the sheer comedy you would expect from a Wario game, and the greedy hero takes nothing seriously and always loses out in the end.
The game progresses over the course of five areas, each with four levels and one boss. You have to beat one level to reach the next, but you can purchase the next area if you want to and have enough coins, so you can go through the game how you like. There may be only 20 main levels, but there are also lots of challenging bonus stages and each level (bonuses included) has three to seven missions and three treasure chests to find. I can guarantee you will feel inclined to go back and try to do more in the game than just beat all the levels, and to get everything you will have to play through each level a minimum of two times. So while there aren't a ton of levels, the ones available are worth replaying.
Each level is very well designed in terms of playability. Getting through to the end is usually pretty easy, and after you reach the end of a level you have to get back to the beginning before time runs out, which almost turns into a fun minigame, actually. If you find the booster near the end of the level, you can take the fast way in which you are constantly running at high speed. Getting back to the start fast enough to clear the level's mission based on time involves many well-timed jumps, slides, and turns and can be quite challenging. So the levels are very well designed in terms of playability, because you have to be able to get through the normally and then there is a whole course set up for high speed.
The level design complements the gameplay very nicely. Shake It plays like other 2-D platformers, you move left and right, jump, and all that, but Wario has always had the ability to charge as well, and now he also has an earthquake punch that can be used to stun enemies, solve puzzles, and other things. This is done with a shake of the Wii remote, a function that works quite well and isn't over used. The Wii remote can also be shaken to get coins out of coin bags, which is a nice feature in the gameplay. Motion control is also used for a few submarine levels as well as in a boss fight, and tilting the controller to aim for throwing enemies and for shooting Wario out of a cannon works quite nicely too. Overall the concepts, level design, and controls come together very nicely for a great gameplay experience.
Shake It may be fully 2-D, but that's not to say the graphics don't look really sharp. They may not be stunning visuals like you see in Mario Galaxy, but it's about as good as you can possibly make a 2-D game look. The objects and characters aren't extremely detailed, but they look very smooth and sharp. The animations for all the actions look very nice too and add much to the humorous Wario feel. The level backgrounds look great too, and if you take a look, things such as large rocks will actually pop out in front of the level in some areas, but they don't obstruct your vision at all. Shake It displays some of the finest 2-D graphics I've ever seen, and they really add a lot to the overall experience of the game.
Shake It sounds almost as good as it looks. The music tracks may not be the most memorable you've ever heard, but they sound really good and fit their respective environments very well. The sound effects are 100% Wario too, with funny sounds that have good quality.
In a world where 3-D is most often hailed as king, Wario Land: Shake It stands tall and proud. It manages to be just as fun as most of the 3-D games out there and delivers an experience any fan of the series or platformer aficionado will love. 2-D CAN be worth full price, you just have to be willing to pay up.
Gameplay: 9.0
Graphics: 9.0
Sound: 8.5
Camera & Control: 9.0
Value: 8.5
FINAL SCORE: 9.0/10

2d gaming reborn on consoles Oct 04, 2008
By Lukasz Balicki
This game brings back the memories of the golden 2d era of video gaming. The game is simple, fun and each level branches so there's some replay value if you want to find all the secrets that the game has.

An Easy Good Time... Oct 08, 2008
By D. Ricciardo
This game is not overly challenging yet difficult enough at certain points to keep you trying. The 2D graphics and gameplay are a wonderful addition to any Wii collection. The levels are interesting and have great replay value. The story, although VERY simple, is enough to make game entertaining. Overall I'd say the game is great when you want to spend an hour or so just to unwind, it doesn't require a huge time investment to complete or progress. I highly recommend it for casual gamers!
