I haven’t posted in a while. The reason should be obviopus to many a gamer out there, Super Smash Bros Brawl came out, and I’ve been playing a lot to say the least. While this took up a fair bit of time, what really ate up my time was my friends coming over at every oppurtunity to play. Good times were had by all, Brawl is definitliy worth the hype.
Newcomers Olimar, Sonic and Pit are amongst my favourites, and the stages are prehaps the best part of the game, there are many memorable and fun courses you would never find in any other fighting game.
One thing I have to say is that they have made the game more even, as in, every match my friends and I had were always pretty close. I sucked at Melee, but in Brawl, I can actually get in a few kills. The Final Smash isn’t as cheap as I thought it would be, each one is very situational, and can only truly be effective in certain circumstances.
Subspace Emissary is truly a great add-on. The cinemas are definitly the highlight for me, some truly spectaclar scenes and few strange ones. It is fun solo, but more fun with a friend. My friends and I did the final level (which is VERY long) rotating controllers, and it was great fun. I do have one complaint: At some points, the platforms or launchers are placed in bad location, leading to some lame deaths. But this is just one speck on the greatness of this game.
So sorry, sorry to the maybe 5 readers who might actually read this (I’m thinking way too much of this…) . The game is just too damned fun!
