Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review

Yeah I went a little much with the picture, so here's the review for Super Smash Bros. Brawl the new installment in the Super Smash series. How else can you review a fighter of this caliber? Well I don't know I'm just giving a basic summary and how I feel about the game. Well anyway's, this game is great, although I feel somehow its not as great as Melee in some ways. The final smash's are great to use, yet for some characters it feels kind of useless. I'll explain later, meantime I'll explain characters....now.

Characters:

There's a huge amount of characters, I'm especially surprised to see Sonic and Snake have joined the Brawl. Sonic was on the GameCube twice and Snake only once with his remake of his first outing in Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. Snake is actually a real joy to use, he has some good moves, and lots of grenades. He has a full arsenal really and his Final Smash is great also. Sonic, well, only if your used to him and play Sonic games a lot are for the fans only mostly. He's a bit hard to use and seems useless when you don't know what your doing. Anyway Snake and Sonic are good addition. Other new people to the Brawl are: Pit, Lucas (basically a clone of Ness, same moves), Diddy Kong, King DeDeDe (from Kirby adventures), Wario, Toon Link, Pokèmon Trainer, MetaKnight, Olimar, Lucario, R.O.B., and Wolf. Also Zero Suit Samus, but didn't include her since its still Samus only until after Final Smash. Well here's all the characters so I don't have to name anymore:

Purin?

To answer someone's question, yes I did unlock R.O.B. with every character listed above. Yes this is the full list for Brawl. And to verify about the last space its a Random Character space not to confuse anyone with the foreign language (Japanese).

Worst Characters To Make the Cut:

Peach and Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff in reality is worst since he/she has the most useless Final Smash.

Best Character To Make the Cut:

In a way: Wario. Sure he's disgusting, but I think he uses the only fart joke used in a game and only fart joke in a game that will inevitably be used constantly. He's also way fun to use than the other characters combined. Also Sheik, glad to see Zelda/Sheik back, since I think she's the most balanced character of the series.

Story Mode (Subspace Emissary):

This mode is massive and take quite a while to beat. It is also quite frustrating at times, well with most fighting and FPS games, it can be. There's times when the people developing the game get a little too carried away with things unfortunately, but its still an entertaining made at the same time. This is also what I mean by not the same as Melee. With Melee the story mode seemed more balanced than Brawl's. Brawl gets a little too much at times. Especially with boss battles. Don't even get me started with Tabuu; the final boss. Which I have to anyway since its a review. Either someone at Nintendo let this go somehow, but Tabuu is really beyond frustrating to beat. Toughest boss to date really. Well once all the mayhem is over you get Sonic and well almost every character except Toon Link and Wolf. Jigglypuff is a secret character within Subspace. You have to unlock him/her anyway's to get extra stuff unfortunately.

After Subspace:

There's plenty of other stuff to do after you unlocked all the characters (or before as well), such as Classic mode and the events which get you more trophies as well as demos to play. And of course the Brawl matches which is the best thing about this game. You can also unlock stages, as well as make your own stages. There's also an option to play Melee stages as well which is cool. The online play is almost flawless. There's still lag unfortunately, which is mostly do to too many things at once when using the Internet. Its still quite a fun experience nonetheless.

Final Outlook (Thoughts and Verdict have been taken):

This is a really fun game, no way how you look at it. Either try a new character or keep playing the same character you have used from previous games. Its cool to try another character once in a while, since there's a variety of Final Smashes to see. And that's also when matches get most intense when its a bigger fight to get the Final Smash. Since well more kills. Also theres 4 ways to play the game, which is really a cool for more variety. You can play with either just the Wiimote sideways, with the nunchuck, classic controller, or with a GameCube controller (for people still used to the old Melee controls). This game gets 9.6 out of 10.

FALCON PUNCH!!!!
