For those in the know his video is up and he's finally taking on the game

I have to say he's 100% spot on with his review, I of course said it about a year earlier but it's nice to see others join the list of followers.

Since it has adult themes and language I'm not going to give the link.

I thought he was a little harsh on Brawl but he did have a lot of valid point. To me, it's still an amazing game. I loved his little rant on Marth and Luke though lol. And his little bit about Nintendo beating a dead horse bit is absolutly right.

I love this guy's reviews.

Yeah but a rant is essentially a review anyways.

lol... I'd say a lot of that is true... though I have to say, the game is not a button masher. It can be a button masher, but those who think it is and refuse to get better will lose. Plus he said he had no prior interest in the series or other fighting games so that would affect his opinion. That said, his other reviews are funnier :P

thought it was funny, but completely disagreed with his points. Considering some of his first words were that he doesn't like fighting games, and it brought up DOA... I kinda realised he likes to over generalise so he doesn't have to explain himself too much

This kind of review is only funny when reviewing games universally accepted as bad games.

K, that was pretty funny! Lots of good stuff, though he only makes half of those points because they ARE funny, and not because of any professional obligation to quality, accuracy, impartiality, etc. I love SSBB, but those who haven't played much don't. Well, thanks for pointing out what's obvious of most any game on the market, besides casual games which I can't enjoy for more than a week anyway. Loverly.

Still, funny and entertaining. I agree with WintryFlutist, though. These types of reviews are MUCH more enjoyable for crappy games cuz you can agree with everything and not feel bad for laughing at it.

Anyway, check out my blog

I love Yahtzee, but I'm beginning to notice a patern. If he's reviewing a "blockbuster" game, Halo 3, Crysis, and now SSBB. He tends to be really hard on it, and bashes it. Now, originally I thought maybe he just didn't like it. But now, I think he might be doing it for fun. When you can poke at fanboys, and watch as they wither in agony, when you crush one of their games. How is that not fun?

EDIT: About the beating a dead horse, isn't true with Brawl. This is only the third installment in the franchise, now when he said it about Link, and Mario, that was true, because we've had lots of games with those characters.

I cannot stand those reivews. Put what you want about SSBB, everyone whose not desperate to go against the crowd and piss everyone off just to get alot of video views, knows its just as good as the other billion dollar sellers and maybe a little better.

I would have rather enjoyed his completely uninformative reviews with constant American bashing and complete biased and leaning toward certain series, if I thought he was just being funny. Yes, while he is downright hilarious most of the time, hes unbalanced, he go into this somewhat serious mode to praise the games he loves and exempts them. Thats when I just said forget it this guy is just a typical biased reviewer with a cooler way of presenting what he thinks.

His reviews only bring out the bad in games. They do not show what is great about them. But they are always entertaining.

Yahtzee is a god amongst men but i didnt find his Brawl review that funny, probably because i love brawl and ill no doubt be playing it for the next 5 years :P as i did with meele. He was completly wrong on the button mashing part but i agree with him on the reusing franchises and not making new ones..

Lol at you taking a Yahtzee review seriously.

I guess you are really desperate to find someone who thinks the same as you. Don't get me wrong, Yahtzee is a smart and funny guy, but even he says his reviews are jokes.

In other words, his reviews say nothing.

His videos are just silly jokes, as sexy_chimp said, LOL @ you taking that guy seriously.

Only, he doesn't tell the audience what the rest is. I like the reveiws too. They are entertaining and they do tell whats wrong with the game....but thats also my problem.

He's an entertainer first and a reviewer second. He makes good points, just exagerates them. Stop freaking out and start laughing.

Thats the only reason I really watch them, entertainment. I would never base a purchase off of his reviews...otherwise I would only own No More Heroes....out of a PS3/360/Wii/PC!

Actually he just says stupid crap 90% and totally overlooks some features. Hell say some thing sare bad when they are not. if he thinks hes being a strict reviewer, think again hes just pissing people off to get more people to watch it.

SOmetimes hell mention something totally valid that no one else mentioned but that has only happened like twice. most of it involves what I already bagged on him for mixed with sutle but extreme bias for certain games.

NEver heard of this guy but OMG that was funny! I ESPECIALLY love that part at the end where he says odd are you already know if you're going to like this game, and if you're wondering who you are, you're the guy who actually defended the word "wii" on internet forums etc etc. That is SO true! I love these games I just feel like fans bash on other systems for milking........that never made sense to me considering there are well over 200 games with Mario in it :) food for thought. Personally I liked the game, but it really does play just like all the others.
