Great game – the thing that annoys me is why it took so long to hit Australia when it was out in the US months ago!

I managed to wrestle the mote from some pre teens at gen con,
Alot of fun. But thats the way it goes…
Nintendo don’t really add new game play very often. But they are making a good choice with this game I think, I know alot of people who would totally hate this game if they changed it… it’s a game, designed for nostalgea…
why else would they put a bunch of nintendo characters on nintendo maps, fighting eachother?
But, nerds will be nerds.
And we find fault with everything.

You’re absolutely correct Jordan – I’m older than you and didn’t particular like Brawl.

Your opinion is wrong.

Good review! I agree Nintendo really needs to explore some new ground, they only get away with not doing so in Brawl because the series is already so much fun. I guess they take the approach not to try and fix what isn’t broken. The technology behind the Wii is amazing, but I worry it’s their new creative offering for this decade, and we won’t be seeing anything on the creative front for a long time now. Alas!

But nevertheless I agree, Brawl is amazing, I’ve played more hours than I can reasonably remember already!

Ah~ I appreciate the ‘I’m cool enough to say I like brawl and still be cool’ approach you’ve taken to it, I suppose the difference between most Nintendo party games and other games is that they have some preconditions to you having a good time:

1- Friends that are there to see each other instead of actually play the game so seriously they screw it up for the rest of the room

2- … that’s it. that’s all you need to enjoy yourself with a Nintendo 4 player game. I recently enjoyed a game of Mario Party simply because I could funnel my hate into it with friends.

I guess this says something about what passes as a game over at Nintendo but many hours have been had ‘exploring’ the game with friends (some would consider it unlockable grinding but who cares if you’re having fun)

end rant =3 good review.
