Brawl should remind us all why we play games in the first place.
The premise of Brawl is simple. Nintendo characters are out to beat the heck out of each other. With Smash attacks, special moves with each character and a huge amount of items such as: red shells, baseball bats and bombs. To win a Brawl you must knock your opponet out of the various well detailed levels. It sounds simple but there are so many way to get the job done, and everyone will have their own unique strategy of doing things which is really why multiplayer is so encouraged.
Brawl really hits it home with its HUGE roster. Not everyone is here, but the roster is well improved. There are less clones and more unique characters, and even guest characters Solid Snake and Sonic. The regulars you would expect like Mario, Link and Samus.AND maybe some you have no idea are even Nintendo characters like Pit and King Dedede(I knew they were nintendo characters).
Levels are also a huge improvement.There a lot more fun to play on this time and there is a lot more going on in the levels.Such as a huge top of an iceberge that you and three others are fighting on crumbles and falls down into the water.BUT THE FIGHT CONTINUES,but watch out for a crazy big fish that wants to make you dinner!And if you like calmer levels you got those levels to,and a handful of ones from Melee.This game really gives everyone something to enjoy.And there is even a well done map editor.GIVING you ENDLESS possibilities.
There are all sorts of modes to keep you busy.An improved Single Player that is more fun then ever combining platforming and fighting.AND the single player modes are really where you will be unlocking most of your stuff for multiplayer action.And other modes like multi-man melee and classic mode return as well.There is also all-star and challenges,and you can do mostly all of this with a coop buddy!!
Wifi is also added into the mix,adding more replay value to Smash Brothers then ever before.Each match will be a new foe that has a brain and will most likely give you a heck of a challenge.
Graphics are also well done in Brawl. Brawl looks amazing. It's not perfection.But the game exudes a great style, and all these universes Nintendo created fits in well with one another. So from the story cut scenes to characters and levels, Brawl looks amazing.
Epic is the only word that could possibly describe the games music. Everything sounds beautiful, and the majority of the music is music you would want playing if you were in a real fight. It sounds amazing and it's one of the best sounding games made in recent memory.
Overall,I could go on and on about how amazing Brawl is,but people that read can only read so long before getting bored.So I'll sum it up.Brawl may not be perfect in every area, but it deserves a ten for it's heart, and the developers deserve all the credit through the hell they went through to bring this game to us. If you're a gamer of any kind. Buy Brawl.
