Super Smash Brothers: The Expansion Pack

Literally a month ago on this day was the release of what could be considered one of the most highly awaited Wii games. Super Smash Bro's: Brawl.

I got a few chances to play this, and I must say, this game falls short of what a fan could want.

In short this was Nintendo's game that only sells because fans eat up the fact that is has a lot of their favorite characters from all the Nintendo games (plus licensed to Nintendo character's now) in the same game ... that being said it is true this games controls are better then most movie games(the worst games constantly for fans of anything), but compared to them there really isn't much more to be happy about.

For starters they added a on-line multi-player mode, pretty sweet for any SSB fan. To bad if you play with Wi-Fi you'll lag out of the game or just lose because you can't control your character fast enough, and I have a feeling the wired experience won't be that huge jump in performance.

Second, the adventure mode while completely new, in short doses can be fun but overall is frustrating especially if you decide to play with a friend, and I have a huuuge beef with how zoomed in camera is in this mode, so much so you can't see anything going on, but while in melee every character (excluding GIANT TVs) everyone is the size of an ant because the camera stays so far out on every map.

So even newest features are a serious flop and even the change out in characters and other minor adjustments only make this game a glorified full price expansion pack to the SSB: Melee experience. Not worth it, unless your a hardcore fan. Save yourself the from the disappointment of lack luster addition to this series, skip this title.

Honestly if you like the game, fantastic for you, please continue to enjoy it. The reason for my personal review is, it's not original game in any way, so I don't give it high marks, I never said I or anyone else could not have fun playing it for the sher novelty of all your favorite characters in a non bloody fight to the ... colorful off screen death.

But for an honest review you have to consider this game has been done before... twice by the same company and there ia lots of other fighting games alone with the exact same concept. Marvel vs. Capcom for one.

Not to mention I enjoy a good educated debate, So I love being the voice of negativity.

and on a side note seeing as you're to chicken to put even a internet s/n, I don't give your comment high marks either because you clearly haven't even come close to finishing high school maybe not even middle school from the fact you don't know how to undo caps lock and your blatant spelling and grammar errors are offensive to the eyes.

Grow up; learn to think critically and for yourself, because I'm sure half of your comment was regurgitated from other fan sites.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
