GameZone writes: "Whenever a side-scrolling platformer hops onto the Nintendo DS, it faces one inevitable conundrum: How can the game take advantage of the touch screen? This technology has the capacity to simulate a direct interaction with a character on the screen, model the physical properties of inanimate objects, or simply free draw on a digital canvas. WireWay effectively captures the visceral joy of a slingshot using the touch screen, only it's the main character who gets flung all over the place."
GameKult: Glimpsed at the conference E3 2009 Konami, Wireway falls into the category of games specifically designed for the DS and its touch screen.
Because of its issues, N-Sider hesitates to recommend WireWay to all but the most hardcore of niche-game explorers. There's still fun to be had here, both in some levels where it's clear where you're going and it's just you and how complete your understanding of the physics standing in your way, as well as the aforementioned boss battles which really stand out. But the frustrations just mounted too often and too much for them to call WireWay a consistently entertaining game.
WireWay is a platform puzzle game from Konami. It is a quirky, hyper kinetic game that follows the mischievous adventure of Wiley and Refresh as they flick their way toward their goal of obtaining Elan. The game uses the DS touchpad to send Wiley flying around levels where you have to collect objects, avoid obstacles and find the finish line.
