 Smashbrothers Brawl March 20, 2008

This game has hours of fun for the entire family. I know it sounds corny, but it does. I enjoy playing the different levels and the fact that you can play people online. It does have some goofy features, such as random trophies that you collect as you play the game. Overall, this game is great for large groups of people or single players.

Where to begin with this one. I've been waiting for this since I finished unlocking everything in Melee. Loads of new characters including Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Other new characters include R.O.B. the Robot (yes, the same NES peripheral), Toon Link, Meta Knight, Pokemon Trainer, Lucas, Wario, and many others. New items, new stages, and new game modes are all in full supply. The story mode is incredibly well done and much longer than before, clocking in somewhere between 7 and 10 hours of play. There is very little to complain about with this game.
The flaws, and there are very few, include the WiFi support. Based on what I've gathered over the internet and from my friends, getting online to play with others requires both a very strong connection and a healthy supply of luck. And once you are online you have only 1 game type to play: 2 Minute Free-for-all. No stock, no team, NO OPTIONS AT ALL. Having the Friend Code for your friends Wii console isn't enough either, you'll need an entirely separate SSBB friend code that will be given to you the first time you sign into SSBB WiFi Mode. Nintendo would do well to learn from Microsoft's XBox Live service, it is better in EVERY way.
The only other complaint I have is really more of a personal thing. With Konami's Metal Gear Solid being thrown into the brawl, I was hoping for some Castlevania characters. Or that some other third party companies would throw their characters into the brawl. Capcom's Megaman or Dante would be excellent additions to the fight. But thats just my opinion. Here's to hoping they'll be in the next one!
In the end I give the game 5 stars because it really is great. Just because I can't play online doesn't mean I can't play with my friends just like I did on the Gamecube! The game is still the most fun I've had in a long time and has more than enough features to distract me for HUNDREDS of hours!
 Fantastic for some... March 19, 2008

The smash series has been going on since the nintendo 64 era and I have stayed faithful to this landmark series since. To me, the aura and core of the smash series is essentially multiplayer gameplay. Sure theres some single player content thrown in but the real thing that makes this game what it is, is having some friends over for a good long brawl. The first game was surprisingly successfull and Super smash bros. Melee was the best selling gamecube title after that. And now we have brawl. When I bought this game I was expecting a polished and clean experience.(This game has been in developement for over 2 years, not to mention countless lauch date delays)And to tell the truth, I wasn't dissapointed one bit. I played a couple matches and dove into the new single player adventure mode, The Subspace Emissary and immeadiately got the sense of balance to the game. Melee had very fast paced and quick battles. Brawls matches are slightly slower and the characters seem to stay in the air longer. I think that the game designers made this change to satisfy new or first time players. After all, the philosophy for Wii is to bring people who say things like "those games are too complicated and I dont play those things" to pick up, play and enjoy the experience. This game absolutely satisfies those new gamers out there and it also takes care of the hardcore audience that has stayed with the series since the first game. The gameplay is still similar to those of its predecessors and it also adds a couple new things as well. This includes characters, game modes, and stages. But I dont believe that game modes, characters, or stages make a good game. It's the unique and new feel. The core gameplay. You could have a game that has billions of game modes or characters, it all goes down the drain if the game concept and feel is dull or frustrating. The one problem I had with this game only applies to those who are hardcore smashers. It's that the gameplay becomes almost too familiar. Now obviously the newer smashers wouldn't have to worry about this, but the ones who have played smash for a while will still feel the same about this game. Great, not perfect, but great. So to those of you who are new to this series, buy this game. It will be one of the best games of the year and its sure to be a Wii bestseller, this is a must-have game. And for the hardcore its still a must have just because of the fact that its a new installment in the series.
Melee vs Brawl March 19, 2008

Compared to Melee, Brawl has...
1. nearly the same game play (disappointing if you are expecting a lot of new stuff, but on the plus side it is as good or better than Melee in every area) -- it feels like the exact same game with a few new characters, levels, and features
2. some new fun things to do in single-player: longer adventure mode, more prizes to win (and it gives metered hints on how to get those prizes which is fantastic)
3. 16:9 aspect ratio available
4. online play (buggy :(, but expecting Nintendo to improve it)
BTW, if you are a Melee fan, plan to use the GC controllers for any serious play.

Don't be fooled by the pictures in the ads...this game is 2-D, not 3-D like Galaxy. My kids love it, but it is mostly just frantic button pushing. The multi-player games are fun. I would like it better if they used some of the uniqueness of the Wii controller (point, shake, etc..).
Overall, good but not great. Maybe Nintendo set the bar too high with Galaxy...
