Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

Where to start. I loved Super Smash Bros Melee for the GameCube in 2002. It was imaginative, easy to get to grips with, a good party game and with a large cast of characters to choose from, there was plenty of playability. This time around though.. well it’s the same. But its aged. There is nothing new this time, and the controls are suddenly impossible. Like waking up, getting your hands cut off, then being told to do a Rubiks cube. Infact I dug up my old GameCube controller, and this was marginally easier, but stil not great.

Apart from the fact the controls are hard anyway, the actions and moves are awful. There is no distinction between them, and there are only a few for each character on the game, half of which send you hurling yourself off the edge, killing yourself in the process. You can play the game as your usual Nintendo favourites, Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Kirby, and the occasional Pokemon. This time, Sega has got involved, sending Sonic into the game.
The game still is fun, but you sometimes feel that the game is trying too hard. In the way the Jordan, o I’m sorry, she’s grown up now – “Katie Price” tries too hard to be attractive. The 1 Player mode is monotonous, with little difference to the original mode. It is enjoyable, but like too many games released recently, the game is designed around a multiplayer and or online style of play, which is fine, if you’re alright at the game. Instead, you can find yourself in a game, dead and back in the lobby within seconds. “fun”.
