Oh, MK Wii was a vast improvent over Double Dash? And you're saying dozens of reviewers failed to see how superior MKWii was to Brawl? Pfft. The difference in depth and polish between the two games is quite clear.

 Sure, you can have your opinion, I just don't agree with it :p  Don't take this personally, I just chose your post to state how I feel. Mario Kart is a good game, btw.

 i think it might be possible but i might lag alot

Yeah. This. Kart, for some reason, is just more fun for me.

I did enjoy the SSE in Brawl (IMHO that was worth the price of admission).

I have no point of reference to Melee or Double Dash, never played either.

 i also enjoyed SSE,i dont know why alot of people didnt like it

Yeah.  Human fighters make or break the game.  That's pretty much the case with any fighter though.  Unless your looking for the random quick street fighter playthrough... or got some wacky Mugen game.

The price point was justified by the insane amount of music tracks on it. That itself is more than 50$

I've never played Double Dash, so I don't know. What I do know is that Mario Kart Wii is so much fun to play and really changed the series with a new controller. Brawl has to be played with the Classic or Gamecube controller if you ever want to be a half-decent player (argue all you want on this one) and I don't want to be playing Melee all over again. I played Melee non-stop since the Gamecube first came out. And with Brawl, I've played the SSE (which was such a horrible addition to the series) and I've played matches with friends. Most of us agree that the game is boring.

Mario Kart is the kind of casual, no-care fun that the Wii is all about. Brawl is more of the same crap. If we're talking about the Wii, depth and polish mean nothing to me.

Ya I have the same problem as you, I got brawl and loved it, but after I got some other games and then tryed to go back it just aint doin it for me anymore. I actually tryed playing today and I just cant get into it.

I played Melee a lot, but I started to get bored of it towards the end. (when Gamecube was winding down and we were getting ready for Wii)

So, I was worried I might not enjoy Brawl. However, I have enjoyed Brawl a lot. Single player sucks (as I have done it all many times before), but find someone to play with and it's a blast. I don't think I've enjoyed Smash Bros. this much since the N64 days.

Also: the music is WIN. "Legendary Air Ride Machine" and "Tetris Type A" are great, as are 95% of the songs in the game. :D

Brawl is a lot more fun against live opponents. I played Melee, and found Brawl to be a refreshing change to the 7 years of monotony. Mario Kart Wii is fun as well, but Brawl is much more my style.

Dial Up doesn't end well for online gaming... at the very least get DSL.

Brawl against CPU = Boring as hell

Against an opponent that can actually think = Rather enjoyable.

As for Mario Kart Wii... I've found online no more enjoyable then offline. Guess its all just a preference thing. Music in Mario Kart Wii depressed me too... I want my epic Rainbow Road music back D:
