Super Smash Brothers Brawl: The Breakdown

Out of all the games that have come out in the past couple months or so, the most hyped game out of all of them seems to be the brand new Super Smash Brothers Brawl, a game my friends are obsessing over and demanding I buy. I just played it today, and this is my opinion: it’s just like the other Smash Bro.s games, except it has new characters, different arenas, and a new tool to design your own arena. And that pretty much is all that they can do to keep all the fans happy. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really fun, it just doesn’t revolutionize gaming as we know it, as some people may have been thinking. But still, it’s tons of fun. For those of you who don’t know what this game is, let me sum it up for you: All the most famous nintendo characters gather in one game, and fight in different game themed arenas in an onslaught of cartoonish violence; aka, it’s hella fun. Favorites from previous games return, like Mario, Samus, Kirby, and Donkey Kong, but a whole new slew of characters is at your disposal this go-round. These characters do the same things most of the time, but it’s still enjoyable to have them. One new character you can unlock is Sonic, answering the age old question: would Mario or Sonic beat the other in a fight?  All the arenas you could ask for are here: floating castles, mushroom kingdoms, jungle treehouses, Pokemon stadiums, and such. It all combines for what truly is a kick-ass nintendo title. 9 pixels out of ten.
