Things I like about Super Mario Smash Bros Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl – an epic game that was worth the wait. The hype was totally high and people were frustrated but excited as to when will this game be released all the while playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. This is the most anticipated game for all Nintendo fan boys and gals and I must say it again, it was worth the wait.

Ever since I've played Super Smash Bros on the N64, I got hooked on it (who isn't?). Probably the most appealing factor is that you can play most of the Nintendo Mascots like Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Link, etc. The game was so awesome that Nintendo just have to create a sequel and named it Super Smash Bros. Melee... and it was awesome , surpassing the original. And now that SSBB is here, we hoped that this would surpass its predecessor also... and it did! Here's what I like about the Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Graphics 9/10
Not as detailed as Playstation 3 or XBOX 360 graphics, but as far as Nintendo Wii capability is concerned, this game has the best graphics. Unlike some people who doesn't understand that graphics isn't what makes a game, I appreciate Nintendo's effort in this game's graphics. IMO, people should really know that it's these “graphics frenzy” makes releases longer and story lacking. Especially in RPG games! It's such a shame. Great games should have great graphics?! Rubbish! This is why most new games today suck. Story or gameplay should come first!

Sound 10/10
Yep, its excellent. Fanboys/gals with be overjoyed when you hear those epic music. From Mario to Zelda, you'll be hearing a lot of them. Ahhh, it brings back memories...

Story: 7/10
The game is basically the melting pot of all Nintendo mascots, but this game actually has a story to tell. It's not as good as their respective stories but it's a great addition. Players will teamup in order to finish a particular level.

Gameplay 9/10
Excellent. It's simple and easy to play, just as intended. People seem to forget that this isn't a serious versus game like Soul Calibur or Street Fighter. I don't like people who bash this game because of that kind of comparison, this is supposed to be a fun game for the light hearted. For kids and adults alike!
Anyway, Brawl's match is slower than Melee, a good thing for those who are still learning to play this game, also for those who already know.

Replayability 9/10
There are a lot to unlock – characters, stages, etc. You'll spend lots and lots of time trying to unlock them all. Even if you've done unlocking, there's still the multiplayer Brawl, totally fun and crazy.

Multiplayer 10/10
This is what this game is for. I give this the maximum rate as its a very fun to play with your friends. You can play with them even if they're miles away, but it's preferable that they are near so you won't experience much of the lag.



Characters 9/10
There are quite a lot of additions on the character roster. There are over 35 characters playable. Some characters from the past games aren't playable though, but that's not a reason why I shouldn't rate it 9.

Conclusion: 9/10
In short, the Super Smash Bros Brawl is an awesome game. The graphics were almost perfect, the gameplay was still very enjoyable, the sound was nostalgic and multiplayer is crazy. Just my type of game to enjoy.
