There's enough content in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to keep you busy for months, if not years... Super Smash Bros. Brawl has lived up to the promise that has been dangled in front of hardcore gamers for so many years and should be snapped up by just about anyone willing to hold a controller.

Pros
• Fantastic roster
• Tons of content
• Smooth online play
Cons
• Sub-Space Emissary a bit underwhelming
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
i wonder how many 5/5's these guys hand out in a yr. Thats why i hate rating games on a 5/5 scale. Best scale is out of 100
The 3/5 they gave to MLB08 and 4/5 to MLB2K8 only confirms it. What a buncha losers.
Who says that the Wii isn't for hardcore gamers?
for real the only reason way they are geting money is because of halo3
Well i hope you drown in your fanboy piss to be honest if you think the wii only has those good titles.
I mean the Wii has Zelda, Paper mario, Mario, SSBB, No more Heros, MP3, Mario Kart, Okami, Dragon Quest Adventures.
Your a big moron if you still think the wii is only for casual gamers it's as stupid as saying the 360 is just good for RROD and the ps3 is only good at playing BR movies.
