Sound/Music
The music is OK. Having said that, it's nothing memorable and you might get bored with it. I'll explain why soon, but it has something to do with the song for that level looping non-stop. Other than that, you have your basic game sounds to accompany you through your journey. I do love Wario's laugh, though.

Graphics
Another thing one might notice is that the graphics aren't exactly up to par with what has been released on the DS, so far. The animations, however, are cute (boxing dogs in the Museum) and Wario looks as fiendish as ever, especially in his Artsy Wario disguise. The level design can be fun and the areas themselves look good, but don't expect to be wowed. For some, that may be underwhelming...but the real determining factor, of course, is the gameplay.

Gameplay
OK, remember me mentioning that the music could get annoying for you? Well each area (10 in all) can sometimes take over an hour to get through. That can be both frustrating and tiring as that same song will play constantly for the entire time you're in there. I, being a man of patience, can handle that, but I do feel that being in the same area for an hour or more is a bit of a bore. Thankfully, save points seem to be placed at points where one might begin to lose focus. This allows you to both rest your eyes and pull yourself back together so you can tackle Wario: MoD once more.

The boss battles are reminiscent of Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Seriously, the Silver Zephyr operates these giant machines (one is almost identical to the first time you encounter Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 2) that are clearly inspired from said series. Fun, yes. Unique, no. At least switching between costumes can be fun...if it doesn't frustrate you first.

There are 8 different disguises to acquire. You pick up a disguise by allowing your wand to eat disguise gems, which you find in chests scattered around each area. Now, when you open these various chests, you are greeted with mini-games which, as I mentioned earlier, can often become very repetitive after the fourth or fifth time you've played it. The mini-games can consist of coloring items, tracing pictures, and putting item where they belong (poo goes in the toilet, onions in your mouth, etc as they drop down). At any rate, back to the disguises. When you want to switch between disguises, you draw symbols on Wario and let the magic happen. Which leads me to the controls.

Controls
The stylus controls can be a bit awkward and might leave one frustrated after the 5th or 6th time trying to switch between the disguises to perform some greater task. That is when you need to draw quickly, the stylus can become highly inaccurate and possibly lead to you throwing a temper tantrum or doing something completely different, altogether. I know that in one part of the game, I was required to switch between three disguises in short order. Truth be told, I was not very pleased with the results. If you stay calm, you might get through it. If you're in a hurry, prepare to get frustrated.

Bonus and Miscellaneous
Unfortunately, there are no additional bonus modes in this game. The only additional item you'll find here is in Wario's living room (I wonder why there's a box of tissues next to the TV...). The book, if you click on it, will allow you to browse through the things you've collected and the enemies you have defeated...neat, but not too important.

Final Thoughts
In the end, Wario: Master of Disguise deserves a look for fans of the puzzle genre. It's full of fun puzzles, a few mini-games and should keep you occupied for a little while no matter how skilled you are as a gamer. Just keep in mind that you might get just a wee frustrated, but it's nothing that stepping away from it for a minute won't solve.
