The Wonderful 101 bursts with charm, humour and style. It is very easy to care for the characters and their universe. But frequent trouble with the controls breaks the tempo far too often. Something that also racks up the challenge unnecessarily high in an already hard game. But at the same time the battle system is a joy, if hard to master. It’s a very good game with some rough edges that feels very well needed on the Nintendo Wii U.

This is the kind of experience which Nintendo promised when it announced the console - the kind of experience it deserves.

Full of ideas, humor and difficulty, The Wonderful 101 will keep you glued to the screen, which can be both good & bad. But a little bit of challenge from a difficult game never killed anyone, right? [Issue#234]

I like this game. The gameplay is pleasing but it gets kinda boring after a while

I really enjoyed this title. I know Platinum Games and Hideki Kamiya have had more popular and also more critically acclaimed titles. But this one is just fun. It has a silly premise where you control 101 characters at once which is donegreat. Furthermore, the touch controls on the Wii U Gamepad were executed great. In general all of the Wii U Gamepad gimmicks were well done. The story was engaging and silly as you recruit more and more heroes. And I'm personally a big fan of the art style and the pacing of this experience one of my personal favorite hidden gem character action games.

Otra joya de Mr Kamiya y de platinum games, es una pena que la gente no sepa apreciar esta obra de arte. Un juego que mezcla la jugabilidad de Bayonetta y Pikmin…

This is the very definition of a killer-app in regards to the Wii U library, and deserves every ounce of support the gaming community can muster up.

It might look childish, but in so many ways this is a Platinum Games experience through and through. Deep and rewarding combat, entertaining characters and plenty of hours of gameplay - even without all the collectables and tougher difficulties. A must-have for every gamer, whether you own a Wii U or not.

The Wonderful 101 is a masterpiece, with hours of pure action, challenge, fun and madness. The whole adventure is full of charm, detail and an incredible game feel. The game's main mechanics are incedibly original and really, really fun, easy to learn but hard to master. The levels are impressive, with a huge amount of different enemies to fight, each of them being it's own unique concept with it's own moveset and moves (some of them can do a LOT of attacks!). And the boss fights... are just incredible. Every single boss fight from this game is full of crazy action and over the top epicness, with unpredictable bosses that can use different attacks every time you play the battle. The Wonderful 101 gets better and better as long as you progress, with an excellent character development, orchestrated soundtrack, non-stoping action and a sense of epicness that you can't see in almost any game. And the hard mode? You'll love it.

Here's hoping that when the Wii U picks up steam, The Wonderful 101 is still around. [Issue#139, p.94]

It's not a game for everyone, but if you liked previous games by Hideki Kamiya, like Bayonetta, you'll fall in love with this one.

Part Bayonetta, part Viewtiful Joe, The Wonderful 101 is a game with a phenomenal, hilarious presentation and plenty of great ideas that is frequently hamstrung by its reliance on some unfortunate design choices.

The Wonderful 101 is a good game, marred by insisting on repeating both enemies, inside jokes and half-baked variations. The combat system works excellent, and is enough to make sure the game thrives.

An inventive game with plenty of potential and some truly original concepts that somehow failed materialize into something that can be fairly described as entertaining.

THE WONDERFUL 101 Is a good game, it's an excellent original game too. The content is very rich, the battle is creative, the system has the depth, it should be seriously evaluated.

Great credit goes to the originality of the game in terms of gameplay mechanics. I also see some enthusiastic reviews from other users. Unfortunately for me, I got stuck and never completed the game since I could not keep up with the pace of the game. If I give it another go in the future (small chances) I will update the score accordingly. For now it is a 7.

No es un mal juego y no son malas las mecánicas. No soy objetivo con mi nota ya que es una cuestión personal el hecho de no gustarme. Esperaba el juego con muchas expectativas y este no llegó a cumplirlas.

I really want to like this game, but it just needs to improve the controls. Hopefully they make a Wonderful 102 for Switch and PC. PROS Aesthetics and presentation is nice; I absolutely adore the characters. CONS The controls are so frustrating. I be better off playing some sort of other action game like Bayonetta, God of War, or/and Devil May Cry.

Bad. Not misunderstood. Just bad. Wonderful art and a great concept **** me into this, but the lack of clear objectives, horrendously unreliable controls, bad mini game after bad mini game and complete lack of communication to the player left me seriously frustrated. What a terrible, terrible game. I deeply regret taking the time to finish this.
