Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Customer's review
An evolution of the Super Smash Bros. genre
Within the depths of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the answer to that eternal question: "If Mario and Link were in a game, who would win?" Brawl allows you to control characters from a myriad of Nintendo properties, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Link, Zelda, Samus, Captain Falco, and Kirby, to name a few. Along with this distinguished list of alumni, there are characters from other markets: Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series, for instance, as well as Sonic from Sega.
If you've played the original Smash Bros. for the 64, the pacing of Brawl will be familiar (Melee fans take note: gameplay is a touch slower and seemingly a bit more strategic than the Gamecube version). Classic stages from the previous two games are included, and like before, you'll be spending a slew of time unlocking various characters and stages.
A new component of Brawl is the "Final Smash." In a match, a pulsating orb will appear. Should you break open this orb, your character will gain a one-time incredibly powerful attack, the effects of which vary from character to character. Needless to say, when one appears, that's the focus of every character's attention.
Another new mode is the "Subspace Emissary" (which reminds me less of Nintendo than it does of Deep Space Nine, which my wife and I are currently watching). I haven't gone too far into this single player mode, so I don't have a lot to say about it, but suffice to say that if it's not the icing on the cake, it's certainly a very pleasant cherry off to one side.
A wide range of multiplayer options abound, including online play using Nintendo's free online service (though the friend code system is more than a bit cumbersome) and four players in front of one television set. The Wii-mote, Wii-mote & nunchuk, and traditional Gamecube controllers are all control options for the game.
All in all, this game is well worth your attention if you played the N64 or GC versions of the game, if you're interested in fighting games, or if you've any interest in all in Nintendo characters. A highly polished game that definitely deserves your attention, though it is a bit frustrating to have to unlock some of the neater characters (Sonic, for instance) rather than giving them to you up-front.
