Toon Link Brawl Review

In this world, trophies fight. They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence. Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death. Those are the rules of this world.

It's the game we've all been waiting a really REALLY long time for. We prayed to Sakurai to hurry up and ship it already and here it is. Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Introduction:
Smash bros is a 1-4 player game where all your favorite Nintendo characters come into action to make one big cast. With a bunch of stages from each characters home world their is a variety of challenges to choose from. The point is simple, knock your opponent off of the platform to kill them. Each kill makes them lose a point where you gain one. You have multiple attacks your special attacks (use B) as well as A attacks, grabs, and aerials. Along with your Final smash. Break the smash-ball that randomly appears and press B to unleash a super killing move unique to each character(excluding star fox and Mother characters)

Lets start off with some of the new things. From the game Melee created 7 years ago, which is still played even today, the Character Selection has gone from 25-35. 39 if you count transformation. I don't want to spoil much for anyone who doesn't have this game so I’ll stick to known Newcomers. The long awaited Pit from Kid Icarus is finally back for the brawl. Kirby's rival Metaknight with his rapid sword slashes and his bat cape. The new Pokemon Trainer which uses 3 pokemon; Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard, to help him win. Samus strips into Zero Suit Samus like in Metroid Zero Mission. and finally Olimar and his Pikmin join the brawl. There’s also the new Sticker selection allowing you to put stickers on character trophy bases to be used as power-ups in the Sub Space Emissary. Also there are CD's you can listen to and you can change the music on stages. Instead of the lottery now there is a coin launcher mini game where you can shoot your coins at enemies trophies and stickers for you to collect. The greatest new addition to the game is the Stage Builder. You can now create your own stage with your choice of music and you can send it to Nintendo and maybe just-maybe it'll be accepted and sent around the world. Also you can replay matches and send them your videos and take snap-shots with ease just by pausing and positioning. With many new characters and stages this game is definitely a step-up.

1Player:
Classic mode, a series of battles leading up to the showdown with Master hand, has returned. Events, solo and co-op, have made it with many different events and challenges to choose from. Stadium mode has returned opening you up to the new improved target smash test with now 5 levels for every character to try, and items to help out. The somewhat improved Home-run contest now with co-op mode and a force field to keep your sand-bag from falling off the platform. As well as the multi-man-melee that keeps you wondering what the heck that green one is. Kirby, Jiggs?

SubSpace Emissary:
It starts off as a match between Mario and Kirby. This match is set in a stadium along with a roaring crowd. Soon Metaknight's ship the Halberd pops in and begins to drop enemies and two R.O.B's. The robots begin to detonate a...a b-bomb! Quick Mario get them. The story-line continues with friend ships building, teams forming and allies aiding you in this world ridden by SubSpace. The SSE is played out as a side scroller the whole way through even with bosses. It will remind you alot of Kirby's dreamland except with your choice of characters and stunning cutscenes. The enemies of the heroes try to turn them into statues which like I said before is much like death. Luckily a simple tap on the trophy base by your allies will revive you. All this fighting leads up to a reunion on the Halberd which is unfortunately destroyed in an amazing cut-scene. As you go into the Subspace(WARNING SPOILERS)everyone is turned into statues by a mystery wrapped in an enigma called...Tabuu. Now Sonic joins the brawl as well as the badies and everyone is saved by DeDeDe's timed badges. So pick your characters and fight in the brawl to end them all. (No srs wth is Tabuu? A guy said it has somehting to do with chars helping instead of fighting created a...Taboo)

Online Play:
Now for some it may be a little laggy but trust me once you get your connection running smoothly it is virtually lagless. You have three choices. Play against friends via the infamous Nintendo Friend Codes. I lie FC's aren't that bad, it's just a code allowing you to connect with your friends. Your second option is playing with Anyone. Now this is a bit risky as you may stumble on to someone to good or to well...nooby and playing team battle may not always make you happy. The biggest risk is playing with someone with either a bad connection or well Japan. It's still fun though and it's not often your matches are laggy. Your third option is Spectating. It's pretty straight forward isn't it? You spectate a random match around the world and you have the ability to bet your well earned coins on a team or player. Never thought Nintendo would be encouraging gambling at a young age. Also to do with your friends is co-op online sand-bag and multi-manbrawl. Couldn't add SSE online Nintendo?

Full Cast:
Spoiler


Well anyways i'm sure you all know this is a great game and a must have for the Wii.(considering most of the games with online you'll want this one more)
So in conclusion. Brawl's awesome end of story...or is it?(Sakurai said he might make another game. Might)

Review:
1up:A+
IGN:9.5
X-Play:5/5
Me:10/10

Good review, but if I could make a suggestion, it would help if you'd put the full cast in a spoiler tag.

Meh...it's alright. It doesn't flow very well, it uses a lot of terms that new players may not understand, and there are several sections you could group together like the 1 player and subspace emissary section. Or maybe you could have split it into Classic Modes and New Modes. Never reveal all of the secrets in a review. A reviewer's job is to criticize and explain a game. Revealing the final enemy in Subspace Emissary and all of the characters will ruin the surprise. Also, some of your word choices are meh. Don't use internet abbreviations like 'srs' and 'wth'. It makes your review weaker. There are some spelling errors and at the end you assume the players will like this game over say Mario Kart online. Maybe players like racing rather than fighting. Don't assume what players prefer...be more objective.

Anyways...uhh...a rating..ratings are lame. Unless it's mathematical it's not a good rating...so I say your review is meh and you get an 8.1 out of 10.
