- New changes make the game fresher than ever
- Online play fully supported by Nintendo
- Possibly the best-looking Wii game
- Stage builder is perhaps too basic
The single biggest new addition to Brawl is The Subspace Emissary, a vastly expanded adventure mode that by itself is well worth the price of admission. Just imagine if you'd never heard of the Smash series, but someone told you that nintendo made a side-scrolling action/adventure game starring all of its top characters-you'd flip out, right? And to think, Brawl throws it in as a bonus! I can't stress enough that this mode isn't some fluffed-out afterthought- it's packed with loads of enemies and stage types, offers incredible boss battles, supports two-player co-op, and has lots of ****c Nintendo references for long-time fans to geek out over. The cinema scenes are gorgeous and contain a long list of cool and funny moments, and I'm pretty sure that Brawl has more cinemas than all other Nintendo games ever made combined. The Subspace Emissary takes longer than many top stand-alone action games to finish, and even more play value can be found in clearing each stage on harder difficulties.''
It's a testmament to the talent of the developers that I even enjoy playing as Diddy Kong- I've always hated that guy.''
The game's control feels smoother than Melee's; you're less likely to accidentally jerk a quick character off a ledge. And, being the type of Melee player that never totally clicked with pressing up on the analog stick to jump, the game plays much better for me now that Brawl has the option to make jumps button-only''
Maybe, if I set my mind to it, I could scrounge up some negative things to say about the game, some details that could've used a tiny bit more polish. But against the grand scope of how much Brawl does amazingly well, any other possible concerns would be trivial at best. To deny this game a 10 purely for the sake of shying away from the top of our review scale would be a shameful disservice to one of the greatest gaming achievements in years. Rarely has any title delivered so much amazing action, such a wide variety of modes, and so many hours of value. It doesn't get any better than this''

Final Score: 10/10It's good to see that ssbb has been getting very good reviews so far. Thunderbolt and Nintendo Power Review SS ...
I've never seen such a positive review from Nintendo Power. They always find at least one thing to gripe about.Thunderbolt and Nintendo Power Review SS ...
That is the weakest con I have ever seen, outside of the utter BS of the GS fire emblem review. I don't eve know why they bothered to list it.
very nice, even if they aren't very reliable reviewers it is looking good
There is a con worth mentioning but they gave it a perfect score....
[QUOTE=''Marka1700''] There is a con worth mentioning but they gave it a perfect score....[/QUOTE]true, but that con isnt a big deal: stage builder too basic
yeh the con was neither gameplay nor technical related
[QUOTE=''Dantes_Monkey'']very nice, even if they aren't very reliable reviewers it is looking good[/QUOTE]Thunderbolt probably isn't but Nintendo Power is usually right with there reviews they give bad games low scores and they give good games good scores, I never heard of Thunderbolt so I don't know what to compare his reviews to. Nintendo Power only gave out 3 10s one to Resident Evil 4, one to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and one to SSBB. The guy that gave MP3 a 10 sometimes does give other games higher scores, but the guy that gave SSBB a 10 is mainly close to what IGN and Gamespot usually give them.Edit* I might be wrong because I forget who reviewed Metroid Prime 3: Corruption because I don't really read the reviews I just look at the score, and on Gamespot I look at the score then look at the Pros and Cons.
Im calling 8.5 here on GS.
9.5 on gs
I almost wish I could stop hearing news about this game, but I keep grabbing onto every morsel that comes out. I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE IT IN MY FRAKKING HANDS RIGHT NOW!
This is so not like Nintendo Power.They used to complain about everything in a game for a review.Must be the new staff.
i say 9.5
[QUOTE=''Nintendo_Ownes7'']Nintendo Power only gave out 3 10s one to Resident Evil 4, one to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and one to SSBB.[/QUOTE]OoT got a 10 there too.
I hope it gets those kind of scores from many more publications.I love seeing a game do well.
Two perfect scores so far? Sweet.
*waits for GameInformer, GameTrailers, 1up, EGM, and Eurogamer*

[QUOTE=''SmashBrosLegend'']Two perfect scores so far? Sweet. *waits for GameInformer, GameTrailers, 1up, EGM, and Eurogamer*[/QUOTE] i'll laugh is GS is the only one who gives it below AAA :lol:Not that they have any credibility left....but it's cute to see them try.
