this one is..,,,uhm. weird to review.. It's an absolute blast as a co-op third-person shooter. The later levels, and a lot of the middle, slog quiiite a bit (also there's a good few levels that are, like, very clearly not designed for the games camera/pov like wtf were they thinking) but they reward you with some of the funniest pair of iconic final boss fights I've ever seen. I highly recommend this game to people who like to laugh and giggle and maybe scream a lot, and also stop to acknowledge it's weird racism too. Seriously wtf were they thinking. This game makes you absolutely both love and hate capcom so much I had no clue how to feel, my jaw was on the floor when the credits rolled. I haven't checked out much of the extra content yet myself... but mercenaries is a great time..!! Honestly my favorite incarnation of the minigame/side mode/whatever...

I don't usually like rating games this high purely off of fun factor alone (if that were the case, I'd have RE5 as an all-time favorite... how horrifying to think about) but I've got to do sooomething for warioware, yknow? It's well-deserving besides. Though it was my first warioware game, having played it some many years ago, I revisited this game sometime in mid 2023 and I had a thoroughly fun time with it! The microgames are all very interesting and intuitive, barring a small handful I couldn't figure out how to make work. the variety in the usage of motion control is great and i.m falling asleep now bye

(this rating reflects the ARR content/basegame, ill rate the expansions individually as i play them. maybe someday I'll feel like rating all the patches individually too but as of right now, this rating covers everything before heavensward)
