One of Gamestyle's favourite original platform games on the GBA. In some ways the deviation from the vanilla "run and jump" template makes it more enjoyable than the Mario Advance series, and we heartily recommend the title to anyone who enjoys a good platform game but wants something a little different from the established norm.

Wario rocks -- there's a lot of variety in the game design and is more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level.

This game is great but very difficult. 100% looks super difficult to do if you like hard games play this

Este é sem dúvidas um dos melhores jogos de plataforma já existentes, tudo nesse jogo é muito bom. As fases, os chefes , os power-ups, a movimentação do Wario e as músicas.

Graphically the game looks fantastic. The game is insanely colorful and the sprites are well animated.

Boasting fantastic graphics and awesome transparency effects for water and fog, Wario Land 4 pushes the GBA to its visual limits.

It's still the best original platformer on GBA, mind. Stitch that Mario! Waaaaaaa! [GamesMaster Magazine]

It's nothing new to the Wario Land enthusiast, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. [Jan 2002, p.96]

One slight drawback is that without a light for your GBA some of the levels are quite dark and the action further down the line can be somewhat repetitive even with the new challenges the game dishes out for you.

You have to figure out how to get to another level unlike many similar games like this, which is a big plus! Too bad only Wario Ware these days.....

Un juego con grandes gráficos y música pero muy inferior a Wario Land 3 y a Wario Land 2. Esperaba mucho más de este juego. Me ha dejado un poco frío. Una pena.

The worst game on an amazing series (witch includes Shake It, on Wii). Wario Land 3 felt more open and clever. Wario Land 5 gave us amazing visuals and music. Still, you can't go wrong with Wario Rock'n'Roll!!

I have very fond memories of playing Wario Land 3 on the Gameboy Color. It really perfected the game loop of progression through the reward of power-ups from defeating wacky bosses nestles inside charming levels. Wario Land 4 however drops all of these fantastic traits bar some catchy music. In its place are bland empty levels that feel disconnected. While the timer mechanic is interested, it ultimately serves to ensure this game is extremely short, and there is little motivation to 100% it.

SummaryHey! You! Yeah, you! Listen up when Wario's talking to you! I just read about this legendary Pyramid of Gold, and you're gonna help me go explore it. There's lots of treasure in there for the taking, and I want it all. I'm sure there are gonna be all kinds of weird enemies and big, bad bosses in there, so if you don't think you can hack ...
