Super Smash Bros. Brawl

"Brawl is a good game, with solid controls, a lot of options, and not-much-better-than-the-last-one-graphics. For the uninterested gamer, it's a curious diversion. For the Nintendo fanatic, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is like manna from heaven."

"...As enjoyable as Brawl is simply as a fighting game, the true joy of it comes from the fanservice. And what fanservice there is!... seeing Little Mac uppercut Pikachu off the screen is pretty sweet."

"If you have a Nintendo Wii then you better be heading out to your nearest store to buy this game! Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a fascinating addition to the franchise. It is unthinkable to try and come up with something they could possibly do to improve the overall experience other than fix the lag issues."

From the fighting mechanics to roster of players Brawl is a well-rounded game that I just couldn't put down. The only downside to Brawl is that it doesn't do anything to reinvent the series. It takes elements of past SSB games and refines them, which is great, but players expecting an entirely new experience won't find it here. Still, it is a well round game that doesn't disappoint and it's a must buy for every Wii owner.

"It's clear what Nintendo has done with Brawl. They held a gun to Sakurai's head and told him that if he didn't create the best damn game Nintendo has ever seen, they'd be forced to shoot him and his family."
