Forums - Nintendo - IGN review of SSBB is...

Woot! 9.5. I won't pretend I wasn't anticipating.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I was about to be mad, but this is acceptable. Guess I can put away my pitchfork and torch now.



I made another post with the review in it, and its for discussing the review afresh just for us who stayed up. Feel free to use it or not, but I'm sticking with it not being a duplicate topic for the time being, since it was made after the review was released, and this topic was 100 posts in before it was known, and is full of speculation with little room for continued discussion, to people new to the review drama.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review
One of the most anticipated Nintendo games ever made is finally here. Has it been worth the wait?

US, March 4, 2008 - With more than six million copies sold worldwide since its release seven years ago, Super Smash Bros. Melee remains – easily -- GameCube's best-selling title.

FAIL.

I'm off tp read the rest anyhow.

^ That has to be BS just to cause a stir and then they come out with a higher score.

Business is full of lies. lol

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.  IGN blows.  Deal with it now, or you'll just be disappointed when the review comes out in a few hours.


You're a mod, grow up.

9.5 yay!



9.0

Presentation
An impressive lineup of stages and characters, including some from third parties. Amazing soundtrack. Gorgeous cut-scenes. Simple menus. Long front-load and lacking online options.

 

8.5

Graphics
Looks like an enhanced version of Melee. Improved character models and backgrounds. Everything runs in 480p, 16:9 and at 60 frames. Even so, the graphics definitely lack detail in areas.

 

10

Sound
One of the best soundtracks ever created. Sound effects, meanwhile, are perfectly punchy and well-suited to the characters and environments.

 

9.5

Gameplay
Tight control, more balanced character move sets, new final smashes and more. We're not particularly fond of the single-player mode, but multiplayer is so good we just don't care.

 

10

Lasting Appeal
Destined to be played for years thanks to spectacular offline and online multiplayer modes. One of the great four-player games of all time.

 

9.5
Incredible
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)


Yea my 9.5 prediction was correct after all, so much hate towards IGN, I really dont know why...

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
