    Nintendo's Excuse to Beat-Up Your Friends

    Nintendo Wii owner's finally get their hands on Super Smash Bros. Brawl after numerous delays. By the look of things around this site, it was worth the wait. With numerous modes found in the single player and multiplayer sides of the game, there is no question that this game will keep you busy for months, maybe years, on end. Also, the introduction of online play is a plus and will sustain a long life cycle to those who have their Wii connected to the internet.

    The controls for this game are very simple to allow even the most novice players to be able to enjoy the brawl. With 4 different control schemes, (Wii remote, Wii remote and nun-chuck, classic controller and Gamecube controller), there is bound to be the perfect way for that someone to play. To many, it is suggested to dust off those Gamecube controllers because they seem to have a better button layout than the others. That doesn't mean that the other controls are not worth playing with as there is an option to customize the controller the way that is most comfortable.

    The single player portion of Brawl has some returning modes as well as some newer ones. These modes are Events, Stadium, Training, Classic and the new Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, which is said to be an estimated 8 hours long. The classic mode is what veterans to the Smash Bros. franchise will remember as going from stage to stage, beating up a certain character or characters and advancing to the final boss. The new adventure mode is quite entertaining, even though the controls can be a bit tedious in certain areas that include platforming on side scrolling or vertical scrolling levels, it barely takes away from the experience.

    Surely, buying Brawl just for the single player is not recommended. The game really shines when brawling with up to 3 of your friends, either online or in person, or 3 randoms over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With numerous modes and countless ways to customize them, it is easy to lose a whole day from just beating up your friends. With over 30 characters to choose from, there is bound to be that perfect brawler that awaits to be played.

    What else can be said about Super Smash Bros. Brawl? With numerous modes and over 30 characters to play them with, it is easy to enjoy countless hours of this near perfect Smash Bros.. This game is by far, the best Nintendo multiplayer experience on the Wii this year. For those who have a Wii, get this game as soon as possible and for those who still need to find a Wii, don't worry because this game is bound to still have people playing for many months or even, years.

      Best in series?, yes but expected a bit more 0

      Apart from all the things already said by many of the reviewers out, this game just rocks.Nintendo threw in some new characters, yes Snake is in the game as well as Sonic but I hoped more new characters were introduced not in the form of clones that is. Not satisfied by the roster Nintendo launched with the game different modes, Master Pieces being one of them. In the master piece part of the game it will let you try out a few of the games available from Nintendo via the shop, although the maste...

      Brawl really leaves nothing unfinished, almost no feature omitted 0

      I've been playing video games for almost as long as I can remember. As of this review, I've beaten 572 and played many more. Perhaps one of my favorite games so far is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. OK, it's only in the top 3, but that's still quite a statement. But why do I love this game so much? Brawl attempts something different when it comes to fighters. Rather than depleting your sole opponent's life bar with arcane button and joystick sequences which fire fireballs from your hands , you bash yo...
