I just recently got Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.
Overall, I don't regret making the purchase. That's my rating system... do I regret buying it or not?
The single player is really short, you can beat the game within the first hour or so of playing, but every level in the single player has different minigames, and a random chance of hitting certain minigames in each stage. So even though you played through wario's level, there is a chance you haven't played all of the minigames that wario's level has to offer. So, there is some replayability there, trying to find and unlock all of the little minigames it has to offer.
The single player also has some levels that specialize in one minigame and have tons of stages within that one minigame, but these particular levels aren't involved in finishing the game and are basically just there for killing time. Which is what video games are for in the first place, right?
The multiplayer is fun, but a little disappointing at first. It seems that wario ware only allows one controller to be used at a time, so all of the multiplayer games require taking turns (passing the wiimote back and forth) or, (and this is awesome) allows you to plug in the nunchuck and one player uses the nunchuck while one uses the wiimote. There are only a couple multiplayer wiimote+nunchuck games, but they are really fun and easy for anybody to learn and enjoy.
The taking turns thing turned me off at first, but it kind of gives the game that "board game" feeling, but instead of passing around a pair of dice, you're passing around a wiimote. It allows you to get a ton of people playing at once too, given they're all taking turns. It really could be the ultimate party or drinking (or both) game.
