Hey guys! Today, I'll post my second review about Super Smash Bros Brawl. I'll try not to do too many repetitive words like my first review. First, I'll share you guys on how I got the game. It was end of January 2011, I went into a game shop. I saw a Wii that its cover had Mario, Pikachu, Link, Meta Knight etc... I asked the seller what it is about. He told me that it's Super Smash Bros Brawl. I bought the game and I really enjoy it since now! Now let's talk about the Graphics.
Graphics: 10- I must say, its Graphics are really good. Now the first time I saw Mario in this game, I said that his clothes were really realistic. The game's graphics are darker than Super Smash Bros Melee, obviously. Now the stages of Brawl's graphics are remixed than the original. I meant is that there is a stage of Super Mario Sunshine per example and they added in Brawl, they remixed its Graphics. Now every character has a darker appearrence. Now it's a bit scary lol. I mean like imagine in the early years, Kirby the cute pink guy, he's so colorful that he appeared in amazing games but his appearence in Brawl, his graphics are different if you ask me. But... why would I give this a 10? Well in the original smash brothers game for the Nintendo 64, the graphics sucks. I mean now in our time the new graphics are WAY BETTER than the N64's one. In the sequel of the original, Super Smash Bros Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube's graphics got better at least. Except some character's faces like Mario, if you notice his face is a bit ugly and funny XD. Now in Brawl finally, he has a NORMAL face thank god! It's also marks some characters for the first time in the Smash family like Wario, Meta Knight, Pit etc... so that's why it deserves a 10. Now enough talking about the graphics. Let's talk about something else like the Sound!
Sound: 10- It is 100% a 10! Here are tons of reasons why and I will explain it! Some of its own themes are really good like when you are at the Main Menu, its theme is excellent. It's main theme is beautiful as well! The Battlefield's are good as well. Reason number 1 is that its own themes are good. Let's talk about another reason! It has many remixed themes like Termina Field from Majora's Mask, Super Mario Land Underground theme, Luigi's Mansion, EarthBound etc... those remixes are waaaay better than its original. Well some of them you can say "Oh, that remix sucks. Its first one was better". And there is lots of themes! I must say, this Smash has Nostalgia in it. I recommend you guys that if you are true Nintendo fans, buy this game and you will feel like the paradise! Like I said, so many remixed themes that it's like Nostalgia! Brawl is in fact, the best Smash that contains the best themes so far (I'll of course buy the new Smash and listen to the themes and then I'll tell you my opinion.) Now I think that's all what I have to say for the Sound. Let's move on something else!
Addictiveness: 10- That's right fellas, I'm still playing this game till now (I play this game more than Super Mario Galaxy 2,) Well Super Smash Bros Brawl is my most wii game played, it is my favorite Wii game ever. New Super Mario Bros Wii and Wii Sports were a close one. I give this a 10, but why? Well because I'm playing Brawl over and over because I'm doing matches using different characters. I do some other modes too like Tourney, Target Smash, All star battle etc... I listen to some of its themes etc... trust me guys, when you will play this game, I think that you'll be 100% addicted on it. I don't know why but I'm addict on it forever! Another reason why because there is a feature called 'Vault'. I go on it and you can see characters information (Well if you unlock them in trophies of course). You can even view not playable character informations too! When you view an information to an object per example, it marks it's appearences in some old games! There is another mode in the game called 'Nintendo Gallery'. You view ALL Nintendo released games on all consoles and handheld systems till Brawl! That interest me so much! I always do matches in Brawl. So how I'm 100% addicted on it, that marks a 10 . Let's talk about euh... read below!
Story: 9- For the first time in the SSB series, Brawl contains a true story mode, 'The SubSpace Emmissary'. Its story is amazing, especially at the end, all characters are together and fight against the final boss! Well the thing I got upset is, the characters don't talk! I mean some of them have voice actors like Charles Martinet, the one who voices Mario. Meta Knight talks but he didn't in story mode . Pit talks when you win a random match as him, but he doesn't talk too in story mode! Unless characters does sound like Link, he does 'AIYA!!!' all the time XD. Well except in ONE small scene, Solid Snake is revealed and says a small sentence:"Kept you waiting, huh?" He said that in a low voice. I immediately heard him when he said that. The thing that I didn't like in the story that some of you can find it 'confusing'. Well because in the beginning there is Mario, Kirby, Zelda and Peach and later something bad happens... later Pit joins and helps Mario. But SUDDENLY later we are at the jungle with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. You know what I mean? I mean is per example, who knows one of you a movie called 'August Rush'? I saw it with my class and I didn't really liked it. Because it was REALLY CONFUSING! Suddenly it happens with the boy, later suddenly with the mother and at the end they reunite together. EXACTLY for Brawl's story mode! At the end, every characters reunites together! So its Story Mode deserves a 9, not a 10. I still have to talk about Depth, Difficulty and Overall. 3 things to do left. On our way for the Depth!
Depth: 10- Okay, most of you when you get the game, you're gonna start with Story Mode of course to unlock every character. When you're half finished it, fans will say "Oh it's so easy! I'll finish the rest today!" Well when they arrive to the final level, it is a HUUUGE level. You must fight every false character (except for a few ones). And fans will realize that the game is long, especially at the end. Well it is long of course, except if you are a professional gamer and you will beat it early LOL. Well, it will take you quite long to unlock every character. It will take you a while to unlock things in the game and it will take you A LOONGGGGGGG time to unlock EVERY EVERY thing in the game. Every trophies, themes, characters etc... oh and don't worry, the controls are easy to learn (Depends what you are using. You can play the game with Wii Remote, wii remote plus Nunchuk, the Wii virtual system and the GameCube Controller). You will immediately learn first the basic moves, they are some moves that you hold your foe and punch him/her something like that. They are hidden moves in the game! If you are a true Brawl master, you must master EVERY character's moves and FINAL SMASH! There is two ways on how to beat the SubSpace Emmisary but I don't know how to explain it so sorry :C. You can watch on Youtube for info! Now next stop, Difficulty!
Difficulty: 8- Well the game is of course hard. But, you can set the difficulty of your foe. In Story Mode, you can set the difficulty too. It gets an 8 because even though like per example you want to beat a Marth difficulty level 4, the match will still be hard. You know what I mean? Well it deserves an eight too for several reasons, like unlocking every character, unlocking trophies etc... so the game is hard, takes a while to beat. To unlock everything, it's intense! Yes, intense is the hardest difficulty on some modes like Target Smash, Boss Battles etc... well anyway, I didn't unlock every themes but it's hard to unlock them by doing some challenges etc... even some are IMPOSSIBLE to beat XD. Now end of the line, the game is 100% hard to beat and our FINAL BATTLE VS Overall!
Overall: 10-Like I said before, it's my favorite and best wii game ever. It deserves a 10! It is also Nintendo Selects! I think the game got success more than Melee. But Melee is good though I never ever played it . Everything is excellent in this game. My favorite thing of it is the Nostalgia! The remixed themes reminds fans of good old times... I suggest that you try every mode in the game! Now that's for my review! Reply to it to tell me what you think and see you guys of my amazing review adventures next time! |
