a Wii game that i can be proud of, BUT, it does have SOME problems
this game, unlike a lot of games, ACTUALLY FELT LIKE the developers tried their best to leave the game flawless, and, hell, they came pretty damn close
This game is so close that i regret saying i had certain problems, because, now that i think about it, the good things about the game out-weigh the problems
OK, now that im done ranting on about how the game is one of the only good Wii games out there, im going to explain the problems:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well, one problem is that i cant play my created stages online
second, i cant chat with people online, which sucks, especially if you're playing with friends
third, the characters seem very balanced, but it always seems that if a skilled player plays with a fast character (even if the fast character is horrible in everything) that the skilled player can win a lot easier than with a slow character. So, basically what im saying is, if the character is fast, then those fast characters seem to have an advantage
fourth, is that i would like to enhance my abilities with stickers and play online with those abilities. This lets the player add a little bit of his/her costomization to the mix and might make the game more fun because player will be on a pursuit of both enhancing their overall skills, but enhancing their favorite character's abilities too. Now, by this, i dont mean making Wario faster than Sonic, but make it so that we can change the stats a little bit, just to give the game an edge. (basically, if they allow the stickers to be used out of story mode, it would match what i am trying to say)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alright, now for the benefits:
one, the game has amazing fighting mechanics. This "throw your opponent out of the arena" seemed to be wrong for a fighting game, but it turned out to be perfect. Everthing, down to the damage percent ratio, seems very well thought out and it leaves an amazing degree of either simplistic fun at a party, or a hardcore match versus two pros.
two, the graphics seem to be running close to the Wii's limits, so what im saying is, it looks just about as good as the Wii can allow (this game, and metroid prime: corruption)
third, the speed
everything in the game feels fast paced (except the long story)
this means that dodging attacks is easy and counter attacks is even easier
fourth, the story
the story wont win any awards for an amazing plot, but atleast you wont have trouble understanding it
plus, its long and immersive, so you wont even see time fly
fifth, the online mode
online on this game is fun and addictive
AND it is practically lag free
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well, i think i made my point
if you have a Wii, this is a title THAT YOU HAVE TO OWN
oh!, and i think this game is best played on the "WAVEBIRD" or, a.k.a "the virtual console controller"
the wavebird really does help how you play (a tip to those serious enough to want to become pro)
