The most chaotic and fun fighting series ever is back and is better than ever
User Rating: 10 | Super Smash Bros. Brawl WII
This game is too massive to put all of it contents into one review, possibly two, But I 'll cover the meat of it, the concept has remained the same, take as many Nintendo characters as possible, put em in a stage, and have them beat the crap out of each other until their damage percentage is high enough to send em flyin off the stage, but this time something new has been added to the mix. This is the all powerful Smash Ball. This item will randomly appear and float around the map until someone busts it open. Whoever does this is granted the ability to perform a final smash which is usually a devastating blow that can take out multiple targets. Each one is specific to the character, for example, Mario shoots a massive fireball out of his hands while Link traps the opponent in a Triforce and continues to slash them. Each is creative and adds to a matches outcome as well. The characters from previous installments In the Smash Bros. Series basically remain the same (not to say they are boring to use) and with only a few missing from Melee. you'd think that there would be enough characters already but Nintendo has added over ten new characters and each of them are quite interesting and fun to use. Some are Wario from the WarioWare series, Pit from Kid Icarus, and even Olimar from the Pikmin series. There are 35 characters in all and Nintendo has kept the rule of anyone can beat anyone, meaning that everyone has a chance at beating any opponent. This is great and actually gives me a reason to try other characters. The stages are as varied as the characters and range from the first level of Super Mario Bros. (Not kiddin) to Norfair from Metroid. Each stage has something that makes it special and each is a blast to play. There are 41 in all so you shouldn't run out anytime soon. The different game modes are really fun too. There is classic mode which is just beating one opponent to the next, the Subspace Emissary which is like a sidescrolling adventure mode with some Brawling adding for fun, All-Star mode which consists of you beating all 35 characters in a row with limited healing, Event Mode is completing certain objectives, and many more. Lastly, we have the extras. Many new things have been added to the series for Brawl and we'll look at some of the best. Stage Builder is just what it sounds, you can create a custom stage and although design ideas are limited you can still build some pretty complex stuff. Although taking pictures was available in Melee. you had to do a certain mode to take em but in Brawl you can take them anytime you want during a match by pausing the game. Just hitting pause randomly can result in some hilarious pictures. Last their is the replay option. Any Vs. match you do can be saved to be played back again and although you can't edit the video like Halo 3, it's stll a nice touch. Overall, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a incredibly fun and massive game and in this review I haven't even touched the boss battle run, home run contests, trophies , stickers and so much more. Anyways, if you own a Wii buy this game, it's a must for fans and casual gamers alike. (I know I didn't talk about Online but I haven't Done that many matches)
