"The Best Fighting Game Deserves a Better Score than an 8.9?"
Pros: The Game Play is the best.
Cons: Online gaming is sub par.
Summary: This is the best fighting game ever made. It is a huge improvement over any other fighting game. Unlike most fighting games in which the purpose is only to reduce health to 0, Smash Brothers is a little more complex. The purpose to knock your opponent off of the stage. In all other fighting games I can just press a few buttons to defeat anybody. However, the Smash Brothers series requires different techniques. Just adding percent damage does nothing for you, you have to knock your opponent off of the cliff and keep him/her off. I have seen opponents eliminated with only slight damage because his/her opponent was able to keep him/her from recovering. I also like the different items in the game. I often play with all items on and on medium settings, but all settings are adjustable. You can turn any item on or off and change the settings between low-high. The gameplay is near perfect.
My only complaint is with the online gaming.
1. Why am I only allowed to enter 64 friend codes???!!!
2. Why am I not allowed to change settings in an Anyone match?
3. Why am I not allowed to talk or see the names of my opponents in anyone matches?
4. Why no voice chat? (This is my personal opinion. Some gamers like not having voice chat, but I want it.)
5. Why do Anyone matches have so much lag, but friend matches are almost lag free?
6. I HATE FRIEND CODES!
Finally, the EA game Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 has a great online gaming feature. It allows players to see the names of their opponents, nearly lag free, and no friend codes. I can see a huge list of every game available, see who is in that game and decide if I want to enter it. Why does Brawl not let me do that?
Overall I think this game deserves about a 9.3-9.5. I will give it a 10 to balance out the 8.9 average.
