My First Impression: What??? I can't die??  Too easy, but I'll buy it anyway
because I liked Warioland 1.  The graphics look good, though.

After Playing:  I'm GLAD you can't die because this game is tough.  Loads of
enemies and other obstacles.  The graphics are phat.

Plot

This game has a nice plot with the pirates breaking into Wario's castle and
taking his treasure. Wario has to chase them all over creation which helps
the plot.  Every "Story" has a point, unlike some games where you go through
many levels just to get to a final destination, making you wonder why you had
to take a zig-zag course, when you could've taken a straight line.

Challenge

VERY challenging!  This game was created for the best players.  You have to
be a strong thinker to succeed in this game.  The many enimies and secret
passages make this game hard to find your around.  One door can lead to many
more doors which can throw you off track.  Be sure to remember which way you
came!!! The fact that you HAVE to find all of the treasure to beat the game
is the way it should be in all games.

Enemies

Warioland 2 is LOADED with many varieties of enimies.  From the tiny Punch to
the big, mean Grunt this game has more enemies than any other game I've seen.
Some of them are easy to beat, others are more difficult, but they all add to
the challenge.  The bosses in each story are well created by Nintendo.  Each
one has a soft spot where Wario can attack, but you better find it before
they find yours!!! However some of the undefeatable enimies like the birds
that charge you, are a giant pain in the butt.

Music

The music in this game is great.  There are enough songs in this game to go
for 50 levels with hearing any given song only 3 or 4 times, and they are all
spread out.  Some songs you only hear once in the entire game!  Music changes
when you get to the end of the level or are changed into other forms of
Wario.  Much better than the first Warioland when there was ONE song with 5
or 6 variations.

Sound Effects

Warioland 2's sound effects don't help the game much, but they don't hurt. 
There are many FX in the game, which is good, but you could play with the
volume turned down.

Graphics

AWESOME, BABY!!!!  The graphics in this game blew my mind.  This game is for
Game Boy?? Most Game Boy games have grainy graphics that don't change much.
Warioland 2 has Super NES worthy graphics which is a HUGE compliment to Game
Boy.  Crisp, Clear, numerous, varying graphics are is one of the games best
features.

Length

I think that this game is the perfect length.  There are 51 levels broken in
to Chapters and Stories.  The levels are a bit longer than most games, but it
doesn't affect the challenge, because there is no time limit, so you can take
time to explore.

Game Control

This game is hard, not hard to control. Enough said.

Overall Fun

I enjoyed this game a great deal.  It is difficult at first, but once you get
the hang of it, it becomes easier.  Even if you have beat the game 3 or 4
times, you always want to play it again. Each time I have found more secret
areas and coins.  The many forms of Wario (Fat Wario, Flat Wario, Zombie
Wario, Bouncy Wario, Crazy Wario, Frozen Wario, Tiny Wario, Hot Wario, and
Puffy Wario) are fun to see.  Great game.
