Great game, too bad I played it six years ago.

In terms of technical things you put in a review like game play, graphics, and sound, I can sum those up in one three word sentence. It's Smash Bros. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

The problem is if you played Melee for YEARS like I did, this feels like a tiny step back. The core is still there, it's still hella fun to scream with four other people in a free for all, the items are great, Samus still sucks, all of that core stuff is still there. But there are tiny things that will bug a veteran player. Some of the new characters are unbalanced, a lot of the new items suck, and the Subspace Emissary is terribly boring and extremely repetitive. Basically all of the things that differentiate Brawl from Melee make it a worse experience (except Smash Balls). All in all, it's still Smash Bros, so it's still good, just not as good as Melee, which, after six years, is a huge letdown.
