AOL 'Smash Bros.' Review - 'Six Minigames Just Aren't Enough toJustify A $40 Price Tag'
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
Developers should always strive to make their products as balanced and fair as possible. Sometimes, video games feature a incredibly overpowered characters that just break the game.
You may have head of The 7 Deadly Sins in Christianity, but what about The 7 Deadly Sins of Game Design? Jason Capp is here to break it down.
For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.
There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!
how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
this comments are demanding a "The 4 Horsemen of The Apocalypse of Game Design Flaws" sequel
Another author just opened a can of worms with this review.
huh...
wow
I'd like to clarify something... That info posted up there is wrong. It's in fact quite falsely written, since it's talking about ninja reflex, not SSBB.
"Even if you can round up any friends, "Brawl" has plenty to offer, including a decent solo adventure and the ability to enter matches online. In short, it's everything "Smash Bros." addicts have been waiting for, and it's absolutely essential for anyone who loves all things Nintendo. Three-and-a-half stars out of four.", straight from the web page. 3½ stars out of 4 stars.
Thus how did this ever get approved, since contributor didn't bother to read it thoroughly? It had 3 different reviews in one package, not one review.
WTF!? How did this get approved? First, it's a series of reviews not just one. Second, the score is 3.5 out of 4!!!!
Seriously, WTF!?
I prefer MK and SF to Brawl but WTF?
