There are some games that just deserve a review, and have somehow compelled an individual to come back for more. The game I speak of is none other than, Super Smash Bros. Brawl; and it needs no other introduction. This is one of those games that can sneak in on you, and smack you upside the head, and of course, draw you in like a kid in a candy store. It all started a couple of weekends ago, my son was playing the game, and talking smack to me. I have told him a few times over that I would give the game a chance and play a few rounds with him; however, quite a bit of time had gone by since I had told him this. So he's sitting there battling some people online, and he asked me if I was going to jump in on a match. Just when I was about to come up with some excuse as to why I couldn't play...........he taunts me! Using my logic on me.....the logic I use on him when I'm trying to get him to eat a square meal. He says to me....."Dad, how will you ever know if you like this game, until you play it?" I was completely floored! This ten year old boy is using psychology on me! Seriously, I've never been so completely stunned! So from that moment on, I've been playing Super Smash Bros Brawl. And I have to say, I do enjoy the game for the most part. It is truly one of those games that has to grow on you, at least it was for me. I probably had to play with my son a few rounds, over a few days before I finally knew that I was hooked. At first, he made me angry because he has this tenacious need to punish me in a game for some reason. He would get himself one of the items like the "fan", and start repeatedly smacking me! Over and over, and over again.....so I finally got ticked off and asked him to kindly try something else, he just laughed! So I decided I would get him back! Which is the essence of Smash Bros. ...........get your opponent before they get you! This new found way of bashing someone, or punishing someone has become somewhat "therapeutic" in a strange kinda way. But for all intensive purposes, I do know it is just a game, and he is my son. Now that the tables have turned, he is not trying to smack me so.......he now attempts ways to get in and get me, and get out! I have, developed a better sense with the game you could say. LOL.......Overall, I do recommend this game, it has that quality fun that a group of people would enjoy, and yet it still has enough of a campaign for single players to enjoy. Great game, really good fun with a few friends! I do have to say, some of the characters puzzle me, and I still can't figure out how they got in the game.........cuz they just suck to play with. Other than some minor complaints with the online lagging just a bit from time to time, the game play is satisfying for kids, and adults alike. I know because my son is 10, and I'm 32! Super Smash is a fun beat em up style game, that has the potential to keep the fun rolling for quite some time......Very high replay value. If you are a fan of Nintendo characters, and just plain sock em, bop em, beat em up games..........this is the game for you!
