Super Smash Brothers Brawl

So if you're aren't big on video gaming you may have not noticed the recent release of a game called Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. Super Smash Brothers Brawl (or Brawl for short) is the third installment of a series, with the first just being Super Smash Brothers (SSB for for now) on the N64 and Super Smash Brothers Melee, (Melee from here on out.) on the Gamecube. The premise for these games is to answer the question "who's the best?" at least in the the best in the Nintendo world. The first game (SSB) was fun, especially if you grew up playing games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Nintendo or SNES). The game was at the time one of the best ways to have multiplayer experience. The controls were simple enough that anyone can pick it up an start playing. There were some flaws but as far as first games go it was a damn good one. 7 beards and One 'Stache

Then the second game Melee came out, and it was just dumb. That game feels like someone said "hey that was a good idea; lets butcher it!" and they did. they added characters that, unless you are deep in Nintendo Japan's ass you didn't know who the hell they were. They watered down some of the better characters, they made some characters so powerful it wasn't fun to play with them. I also have so many other problems with the game that I could go on for 8 more paragraphs but I'll spare you. From a non-biased view it was still a decent game 6 beards.

As far as this third game goes well i haven't played it extensively but I will say it seems like they stopped smoking the reefer and cleaned up their act. Brawl gets a tentative 7 pre-pubescent beards and One Hitler Mustache.
