Looks like the same old to me... I guess we'll see if Wii motion controls truly innovate the fighting genre. If not (especially if people choose to use a regular controller instead) then it's just another Super Smash Brothers with more bells and whistles (basically the reason Halo 3 was bashed by some people...).

*Edit: Oops I forgot about it having online, a pretty amazing feature in 2008... Umm yeah anyways I guess it will probably at least keep it from being more of the same.


 The game doesn't use motion controls. 

This may just be your way of "getting back," but the changes and additions to Melee in Brawl seem to be significant, not just "bells and whistles."  There were also many changes in Halo 3 as well, and it won "Most Innovative" from several publications. I was not one of the people who bashed Halo 3 (I own it) and I expect Brawl to be as good. 

I do think online play will increase the score even if it is 2008. This will be the first competitive, good Wii game to have online play. Online play will definitely make the game more enjoyable.
