wwhat is this... (Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review)

... i dont evven. 38(

You shouldn't get my joke AT ALL, but that's okay. Just google MSPA.

Hey Internet, I just thought I'd be nice for making my bro PH wait for so long for me to get my lazy self to this blog. So I'll lay down a DOUBLE HEADER. *doubleheads*

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008) Review:

Story: Story time, children.

The story for this game is, honestly, all over the place. You start with Kirby and Mario (yes, the basics, Nintendo has seen the light!) dueling. After the duel the HALBERD from Kirby appears sprinkling evil fairy dust across the stadium. Random things called Drones pop up and start being worthless opponents THIS INSTANT. You beat them up, and go on a 3-hour-long journey to catch this dude called the Ancient Minister. By the time this dude is caught, he's set up Subspace bombs like some kind of terrorist imam and you've gathered a band of characters from Nintendo games to fight him! He actually turns out to have a HEART and reveals himself to be R.O.B!

The rest of the story centers on Tabuu, a Navi from Avatar that got lost on the way to the set, equipped with butterfly wings and radical time-space powers. Though he's freaky, and the rest of the story's ending is miraculous, I must stop there to keep from revealing plot secrets as I am bound to in my e-mail-format contract. So yeah. BUT THE GOOD GUYS WIN!

Still, the story is confusing yet entertaining. It skips around a lot, but there's a reunion of the characters, good and bad, to unite against a common enemy. Quite cartoonishly touching, it has the potential to be a big story. Nintendo characters just can't live up to Master Chief, that's all.

Multiplayer: Okay, I'm no expert on any sort of multiplayer, but it is apparently very good. Just fun, simple brawling between users in an orderly yet chaotic fashion. That's online, but on the simple multiplayer mode, you can battle up to four people on over 30 stages, plus stages you can create. Brings back stages from Melee, and a lot of new content.

It's all pretty basic, nothing fancy. Basically the campaign characters confined to FFA-style battling. Simple enough? You can also play with or without (awesome) items, with or without lives, and with or without time limit. It's all up to you, the way I like my gaming.

Violence: All cartoon. Punches and kicks exchanged, still rated T for the amount of violence. They call it BRAWL for a reason, but don't get your knickers in a twist.

Language: None. SINCE WHEN DO NINTENDO CHARACTERS FORM INTELLIGABLE STATEMENTS? Snake can only say "Showtime!" Pit says annoying phrases, Kirby yips, Yoshi yaps, Link grunts, Mario "Wahoo"s, Bowser roars, Ganondorf wrenches. Seriously, NOTHING.

Overall Rating: The story can't stand alone, the multiplayer is fun and free-form, and the rest is history. Nothing negative with language, and the violence is in good fun. Who can hate on that adorable pink puffball? 4 and a half stars.

Happy now, bro? ;)
