 Nice but a let down March 10, 2008

I like Smash Bros, but if you've played one you've played them all. Again they have made some big mistakes with the game and there are things still not fixed.
Firstly I will say that I'm glad it's 16:9. This is not a small screen game by far. I like being able to play on a big screen. However the graphics aren't really much improved. The character models are nicer but the stages and everything look, well, the same. Some stages look much nicer than others.
The biggest complaint I had about this game was the CPU. It has always been vastly superior to any player. No matter how good you are at this game, the CPU will wipe the floor with you on any difficulty but easy. Even on easy playing against 3 CPU characters can prove to be very difficult. Since in adventure mode you are required to play against the CPU, some parts can be quite annoying in their difficulty level.
The next biggest complaint is the disc. This gets a big "wow what a screw up" from me. First off it sounds like the Wii is bludgeoning my disc constantly. If a robot felt pain this is probably what it would sound like. It's like a constant scream of agony coming from the disc drive. Some matches, and I've timed it, it says "Ready, GO"... then you wait 9 seconds so the disc can load the characters you're supposed to be fighting. In fact in events where you fight 8 characters... if you knock out the two characters on the screen at once you'll have to wait about 5 seconds for the next one to show up because the disc is so painfully slow. Just trying to start a match you can hear it. The worst is playing adventure mode. The videos are laggy and take a bit before they play. Once they are done you have to wait a bit before the level starts. It's actually quite annoying on levels with a lot of cut scenes. It almost feels like I'm playing PSP.
Now for wifi. It didn't even work when I bought the game, but at least it works now. However, any fun had by the game is cut by other people's lack of skill. I know this by the fact that every match I've played, people use cheap characters and they use the same moves over and over. Sad thing is, they can easily beat you like this. So any fun that could be had online is killed by the incredible unbalance of the characters. I can not yet say I've lost to someone good, no I've lost to people who are cheap.
The major failure of this game is its lack of progress over the years. As fun as it is, the gameplay has never been tweaked. Though this might be a good thing to some it comes across to most of us as old and stiff. The only real new element is the smash ball. Otherwise, everything is the same as the gamecube version. I'm just glad wifi actually works.
 Seriously? March 22, 2008

I got my two kids (ages 10 and 13) each to come and try to figure out the Super Smash Bros. game with me this evening and the unanimous opinion is that this game seriously blows.
I absolutely cannot figure out what's going on and there's certainly no strategy beyond mashing every button separately and in combinations to see if anything seems to actually work. Once someone wins, I don't know why or how, other than maybe that player fell off the platforms the least. Maybe it's me, but I don't get it. That may be the worst game I've ever bought for my many different platforms.
 Even better than Melee March 9, 2008

35 characters! Very well done. Only big problem is the excitement of Sonic without Knuckles or Tails. Voice Chat Nintendo? No. Character downloads? Not anytime soon.
Still, amazing soundtrack and endless multiplayer fun. Wi-Fi playing is handicapped; Nintendo friend codes strike again. The best part? You can use the Wii-mote, classic controller, or GameCube pad to play. Sweet.
Best Character? Wind Waker Link. For sure.

Super Smash Bros has always been an amazing game for the Nintendo fan, but this version of the game "Brawl" has some serious issues. I believe that many Wii owners will experience Disc Read Error issues with the game, because it is one of the only Dual Layer disced game Nintendo has released. Nintendo says that it's a dvd lens cleaning issue, but it's beleived that's it's more then that. It's been suggested that if/when you send in your Nintendo Wii to be "cleaned", they're actually replacing the lens with a new one. If this was the case, I wish Nintendo would just be straight with the consumer, which I'm sure we would all very much appreciate.
Doesn't work March 10, 2008

Great. So I put the game into my Wii and get a DRE every time. Awesome. This is what I get for being fool enough to get a Wii at launch? Terrible. Had to go to a friend's just to play it, I was NOT impressed at all. Ended up giving SSBB to him, had my Wii sold for fifty dollars an hour later. Nintendo's done for as far as I'm concerned.
