Ah, 2001, this was a big year for all of us, why you ask? It's because this year Nintendo released 2 of their most popular consoles! The Nintendo gamecube, and the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. Both two consoles did VERY well in the United states, and of course there were a Boatload of launch titles to show what the Two systems are made of, One of the gamecube's launch titles was Luigi's mansion, and one of the Game boy advance's Launch titles was Wario land 4, now before this game was made, there were 4 past wario land titles for the Game boy, Wario land 1 for GB, Virtual boy wario land for the highly underrated Virtual boy, Wario land 2 for GB and GBC which was also was one of the first games to support the super game boy, and last but not least, Wario land 3, only for the game boy color. Now let's see, is Wario's first Game boy advance adventure just as good as Mario's Game boy advance adventures? Let's see....

Story-7/10
One very quiet day, Our hero wario is just reading the news when suddenly he finds something about some really big pyramid deep in the jungle. Princess shokora the ruler of the pyramid was cursed by this money crazed Gold diva. Wario then hops on to motorcycle and heads towards to the big pyramid. Then the quest begins.

Gameplay-8/10
Wario land 4 offers ALOT more free roaming then the past WL titles, Mostly Wario land 2 and wario land 3. There are 4 big worlds to explore in the whole game,  First is emerald, which is centered around nature, such as trees, animals and whatnot. The second is Topaz, which centers around kiddy things like Toys, fun games and a bunch of other stuff....The third world centers science, machines and whatnot, And lastly the final level revolves Danger and fear. The controls are pretty simple, A is jump, B is attack, and L and R lets you do your little charge attack. Wario is very easy to control and handle, considering he is Mario's rival. There are 4 levels per world, each requiring you to find some sort of Key to progress to the next level. After doing all the levels in a world, Wario must face a boss fight, the bosse are pretty tricky and will require alot of strategy and skill to beat.

Graphics-9/10
This game was released in 2001, and I must say, The graphics are simply put amazing! All the characters, locales and levels you'll be exploring are big and bursting with color and atmosphere! The HUD is pretty self explanatory also, It shows your current amount of health, Your amount of coins, and some blue bar which I do not know what does yet.... For some reason also, The graphics in this game also remind me ALOT of this old game for the Sega genesis called Chester cheetah's wild quest. For a launch title, Nintendo really outdid themselves....

Sound-8/10
Oh yes the sound, probably my most favorite part of the game! All the songs in this game sound really bright and cherry! That's something Nintendo has been doing in all of their games, adding nice bright happy music. As for the SFX, they are pretty great too, except for one thing, The game now uses actual vocals! So that means you'll get to hear Charles martinet (Voice of Mario, Luigi, wario, waluigi) in action. Even some of the actual background music uses Voice vocals! Congrats Nintendo! Nintendo never ceases to amaze me..When will the ever make me mad? NEVER.

Addictiveness-8/10
This game is so much fun I tell you! It's very enjoyable stomping around as Wario, In fact, Because of this game, Wario is officaly one of my favorite Mario characters now! It's mainly because His personality, I know some of you guys hate Mario with all of your might, But everybody is titled to their own opinion....This is one of those games that I have kept with me for VERY VERY long...

Depth-9/10
This game offers SO much for you to do! I mean for one, there are alot of difficulty levels to choose from, such as Easy, Medium, Hard, and even Super hard! I mean, what kind of game offers a Super hard difficulty? Only true expert games can get through this mode in one piece...The game is about 4 worlds long, so It will probably take you about 5 hours to beat at least.

Difficulty-7/10
Like I said in the depth section, the game does offer 4 difficulty levels, including Very hard. But other then this, the game still can be pretty challenging at most points, but It is Nintendo, So what to expect? Rarely did I ever ever die in this game, but that is mainly because I have tons of skills at games like this...

Overall-8.9/10
In general, I highly suggest you buy this game, if you needa wario fix, or if you just need a fun challenging platformer to play on the Game boy advance. This game is the way to go! I gave this game a 8.9 because How much fun it is, and how much It offers for the player. So overall, BUY THIS GAME! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT! So bye everybody!
