We're not real gamers if we don't like brawl? Okay then. I'll be a "fake" gamer.

While I agree about the title, I'm not 100 percent sure you know if you would like Brawl if you played it, or not.

 

It's like me saying, "Oh I hated MGS2, so I won't play MGS3, and I don't like MGS4 either."

 

Come on man, don't infer you don't like the game, just say its not your kind of game. That makes the Wii owners who don't hate on the PS3, feel bitter about fanboys trying to flame and damage control the highest rated game of the year, and their favorite so far.

 

Also, like the MGS2 argument, its a little silly to say you don't like Brawl because of what you've seen in trailers and because you played Melee.

 

Here is my review:

 

Brawl's gameplay, at heart, is similar to Melee, however, the game is a huge leap forward.

 

An easy example is this. Take the gameplay from Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox, and equate it to Brawl. Now make Ninja Gaiden the best MMO you've ever played in your life, with a single player story better than the Xbox version, but also the whole new element of being a MMO, with SO much to do that you can't see around it.

 

Brawl is revolutionary. Not because of the increased depth of its gameplay, but because of the breadth and quality of its content. Everything has been maticiously perfected.

 

...and just for those who never played Melee, the combat is very strategic, and a skilled player will own a n00b every time. Even with all items on.

 

Brawl scores a 9.8/10, taking .2 points off for the following nitpicks: Load times a tad too long, SSE missions early on, are sometimes repetitive, with the goal of adding length to the game.

 

I've never seen a single player game with more content, or replayability and that includes The Orange Box, and that's before a second player even picks up the controller.

 

I would rate Ocarina a 10/10 and SMG a 9.8/10. MGS a 9.7/10, and MGS3 a 9.5/10. I'd get into the Final Fantasies but that's a slippery slope.
