It's a game that keeps on giving. The game supports online matchups via the Wi-Fi Connection, of course, but even when you're not focused on the primary game modes, you can spend hours just playing with extra features or hunting down a ton of unlockables. Hidden characters, stages, stickers, trophies, music, demos of classic games - they're all in there somewhere.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a Wii game you can play forever... or at least, until the next Nintendo console arrives.
Pros: Enough action to last the lifetime of the Wii; a multitude of game modes; packed with unlockables and surprises.
Cons: Beat-em-up gameplay relatively unchanged; making precise jumps in adventure mode can be dicey; Subspace Emissary story line is loose.
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.
Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.
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!
Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha
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
UH OH! Now I'm gonna get mad! WHAT A 9! haha!
I was only playing...but come to think about it reviewers say so many good things about a game and dock points for silly things. It does earn a higher score, however it just goes to show that reviewers love to write however fail to match their words with the score.
I saw this earlier today and was wondering when it would pop up. I havent played the game yet, but reading everyones reviews just seems odd how the game gets a 9. Most everyone says its wierd how so much effort went into the game and nitpick about certain games. Yeah it should have voice chat but this is nintendo so what do you expect? Just seems like nitpicking and its obivious that every game has flaws but it jsut seems to be random when to take off points for minor flaws and when to get caught up in the hype and give it a 10.
nothing really new to worry about except for the new characters everything else is just old and repetitive
