Its one of, if not the best game ever made I know this is supposed to be the conclusion, but I wanted to quickly mention the highly skilled modding community for this game, it has so many members and really opens up all and any opportunity in brawl.Īnyway, if you haven't played brawl, do yourself a favor and just do. It tweaked the smash formula slightly to define itself as its own game, it was slower, they implemented random tripping making the game less about combos and more about feeling good because you got one heavy hit on that one CPU you've been picking on for the last minute, but, that's the exact thing that makes brawl its own, it dared to do something different, something special for the fans of the previous games, but for some odd reason, it's one of the most hated on games because of it, and in my opinion, that's just unfair. This section is normally the controversial bit, purely because it did something no other smash game had or would ever do. The sound isn't anything special, it does it's job and doesn't affect the experience in a negative way. I am assuming that everyone here knows that, for the time, the Wii was incredibly under-powered compared to its competitors (PS3 + Xbox 360), so if you are planning to run the game on original hardware, no, it will not look the best, however, if you do plan to use an emulator (such as dolphin) with an up-scaling feature, Brawl's graphics are quite comparable to that of smash ultimate's for the switch, so in conclusion, it looks amazing compared to other Wii games, and on an emulator, it looks as good as a game from this console era. Great single player fun and decent multiplayer fun which leads to a great casual experience.īrawl, a strangely controversial topic, in this review, I will explain the ins and outs of "Smash Brothers Brawl" such as negatives, positives and everything in-between. But overall I think it's a good edition and built the foundation of what Smash Bros. This game has always had an awkward placement in the series.
Still a great casual experience regardless. Random tripping and Meta Knight being simply overpowered make competitive play redundant. Biggest issues are the multiplayer which had tripping, removed practically all major tech to attempt to make the game more casual friendly, but I think it fails on this front by removing overall depth to playing. The subspace emissary is truly a fun experience especially compared to Melee which had a frankly poor single player. I think this game has the best single player experience of any Smash Bros. It does the job, not my favorite soundtrack in the Smash Bros. There's really nothing all that special here. That being said the graphics themselves aren't bad and can certainly be great if upscaled. I'm not the biggest fan of this as it causes the game to look a little washed out. They decided to go with a more realistic look which made Mario look like he was wearing jeans. Brawl had a very dark color palette compared to practically every other game in the series. The graphics were certainly an interesting choice. But I will be looking at it purely from a casual perspective. Undoubtedly the most disliked Smash Bros.
