The game sometimes asks a bit much, such as spinning a full 180-degrees to shake a man's hat off, but it's easy to forgive when you've got brilliant games like Circular Super Mario Bros (Super Mario Bros in a circle!) and The One Where You Wake the Cat Up.
These aren't just silly ideas with tilty-twisty play grafted on, either. Somehow, the hilarious bizarreness is always the perfect partner for the tilt techniques. Whether you're swinging GBA to stomp on little men, feeding cars through cheese graters and flipping ice blocks away with 'jazz hands', it's funny because it works.
And the extras? Genius. After every batch of games and its corresponding 'boss' game, you get something sweet and fun out of a ball machine. Could be a Space Boomerang. Could be a mini drum kit. Could even be a complete minigame like Excitebike ripoff Wariobike.
There are 142 in all, and while we wouldn't have minded a method of unlocking them faster than playing entire groups of micro-games over and over again, it makes Twisted a hell of a package.
So, is it better than Wario Ware: Touched!? Yep. Better than the original Wario Ware? Yeeeaaa... no. Brilliant? You bet.
And if you really want to follow the game's nutcase spirit, slot it into a Game Boy Player and play it by twisting your GameCube around. Waaaaah!
