I didn't have the other 2 Smash Bros. games in the past which were Super Smash Bros. (N64) and Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC) but I've already played them. They were cool to start with but when I started playing it, where the hell is the energy bar? it's on the bottom of the screen and your energy bar is the percentage of damage you get after getting beaten up by your opponent and the objective to that is that you have to beat up your opponent so he will receive plenty of damage. Once you done that you perform a Final Smash attack so you can knock him off the screen.
After waiting 5 months after the Japanese and the American release, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has finally made it to the UK and across Europe. The game itself is similar to the last game Super Smash Bros. Melee but there are more characters than ever. There are 35 characters to choose from including 2 non Nintendo charactes which are unlockable in the game which are Sonic the Hedgehog from Sega and Solid Snake from Knomai's Metal Gear Solid.
In the Subspace Emissary mode the cutscenes of the story are impressive, it shows all the characters teaming up together to fight the Subspace army and the ultimate villan Taboo.
The soundtrack to the game is just one of the best ever done in the Super Smash Bros. series and my ultimate favourite is the Final Destination soundtrack where it all comes to the ultimate fighting showdown for a Brawl and the soundtrack to that is Great!
There 4 types of ways to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the 3 types of controllers to play the game should be recommended:
Gamecube contoller - 5/5
Wii Classic controller - 4/5
Wii Remote - 3/5
But not the Wii remote and Nunchuk together because they don't work out properly
There are some bad points in the game which are:
The design of the barrel blasters in the Subspace Emissary mode are crap and the sound they make are just abysmal.
The use of the word Soccer Ball used as the football as well because I wish for the European version of this game should of renamed it Football not Soccer Ball like the Americans call it.
The online gameplay is great as well but the only problem when you're playing it lags for only a few seconds but the whole thing itself is just brilliant.
During a game of Brawl, when you see the Smash Ball appear, you have to reach up and hitting it a few times. Once you cracked it, you will have the ability to perform a Final Smash attack on your opponents once they see your appearance and you can knock them off the screen really quickly.
Overall I recommend this game and it's a definite must buy because Nintendo, HAL Laboratry and Sora have spent 3 years making this game and it's really worth it.
