General Commentary and Game Overview

Wario's Stroll is a Point N' Click game that tries to keep things simple and interesting. One of the things it doesn't try to do, however, is keep the player hooked for more that a few minutes.

I don't think that there's a lot new that Wario's Stroll offers to the table, so I'm here to explain why I think this is just a flat tire.

Pros	+Most of the graphics +Music and sound
Cons	-Kind of clash-y in a few areas -Hollow gameplay and controls -Nothing left to offer after the first few runs

Impressions

Gameplay 3 / 10	You play as Wario, who is outside with his car, doing...whatever he needs to do with it. Maybe he found out that there's a treasure chest somewhere on the road, maybe he has to get back to his home after he bought more garlic, or maybe some other third thing. As for the gameplay itself, you're probably going to die the first two or three times to figure out how the controls work, and then it's nothing but the same cycle day in and day out. All you do is click on various objects that'll give you points or advance further, but that's it. I'm not kidding, either. You just click on blocks and Goombas as soon as they appear, but you need to be closer to pipes and hit ? blocks for more points. The pipes and ? block do add a little variety. Just a little. I don't believe MFGG has been too strong in the Point N' Click area, but there are better games for your enjoyment in this type of gameplay.
Graphics 5 / 10	So, we have an SMB3 styled SMB tileset, a title SMB styled, SM64 font and cursor, and a default Game Maker global high score board. It all clashes when you're not playing, but for some reason it's fine when you actually are playing.
Sound 8 / 10	I think all of the sound effects are taken from Wario Ware Inc., but it's not bad. The music is taken from Wario Land: Shake It, but I don't know what the title screen music is from. Surprisingly, this is the best part of the game itself. The music and sound effects weave in together very well and fit for the type of gameplay that Wario's Stroll was trying to go for.
Replay 1 / 10	The high score table is possibly the only thing that could keep you playing. Other than that, there's nothing else that makes this something to play over other games.

Final Words

This game is endless and simple, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
