Soccy says: Smash Brawl is…subtly different but still fresh
So my roommates and I have been playing Smash Brawl a decent amount since it came out (inbetween taking midterms…yeah), and I’ve come to decide it is indeed a solid game. The game isn’t as huge a change from Smash to Smash Melee, but there are a rather large number of subtle changes that make it feel new. Attack strengths are changed, attacks themselves are changed, and a number of new characters (Ike and Sonic!) exist; all of these combine to make the game play much more differently. It’s a lot of fun, though it’ll be a while before I can say whether I’m as satisfied with it as its predecessors.
Also, the voiceover for Ike’s recovery move is the most awesome sound ever.

Having played it extensively (play count is at 30-40 hours since release for my roommate and me); I can say that it’s more fun than Melee was… there are so many little touches that make it better.
However, online MP disappoints, as it always does with nintendo. Not a huge issue, though, as brawl is meant to be played in the same room, on the same screen
