Gamernode reviews Brawl.

Review here!Some tidbits:[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']While the a r t s t y l e seemed spot on as usual, I couldn't help but set myself up for a possible disappointment. Well, I know this is a rather unconventional way to start a review, but I'm fairly certain that Brawl is the greatest game I've ever played in my entire life.[/quote]

On the controlls:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']Brawl has the absolute best controls of the series.[/quote]

On clones:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']Even the three space animals from Star Fox have significantly differing attacks along with overall speed and movement changes.[/quote]

On lag online:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']To my amazement, the lag wasn't nearly as awful as I had anticipated. In fact, it can be directly compared to playing Smash Bros. on a plasma television. That means that casual players will believe lag doesn't even exist, and competitive gamers will be able to adjust to the ever-so-slight delay.[/quote]

On the SSE:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']Throw away everything you thought you knew about single player Smash, because SSE is absolutely gigantic.[/quote]

On the visuals:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']At this point, though, I'm absolutely positive that Sakurai sold his soul directly to Satan in order to produce everything you see in Brawl.[/quote]

:lol:

[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']The models and aesthetics of each character are greatly improved over Melee, and show that the Wii has much more potential than we give it credit for[/quote]

[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']Brawl's artistic and visual composition rivals games native to even the 360, and never once did the framerate dip below a solid 60fps. Brawl is truly a gorgeous game.[/quote]
Bit of an exaggeration i think :| But it's nice to hear the FPS is solid :)

On the soundtrack:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']With just under 300 songs, most of which are brand new arrangements, any respectable music lover would be content with dropping their $50 bucks down just for the tunes alone.[/quote]

On unlockables:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']I can't say for sure, but I'd average the total amount of unlockables in Brawl at somewhere between 1000 and 1500[/quote]

Conclusion:
[QUOTE=''GamerNode'']It's clear what Nintendo has done with Brawl. They held a gun to Sakurai's head and told him that if he didn't create the best damn game Nintendo has ever seen, they'd be forced to shoot him and his family.[/quote]And now for some shameless self promotion: My new Brawl sig![URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/9717/brawlsigga6.png[/IMG][/URL]
Gamernode reviews Brawl.
Yup, it got a 10 nothing surprising there.Gamernode reviews Brawl.
this game is so awesome and has so much options that it can not take something less than ten.be sure that it will sell like crazy too...
I'm sure Gamespot will find a reason to 8.5 it, oh wait, nevermind Jeff is gone.
How come all these sites I've never heard of are already reviewing it when no big site has a review?
I am really expecting an 8.5 from GameSpot, although 9.0 already seems low from the way others have described it.
[QUOTE=''Bigboi500'']I'm sure Gamespot will find a reason to 8.5 it, oh wait, nevermind Jeff is gone.[/QUOTE]Probably a 9 now.

[QUOTE=''-D3MO-'']well lets see. Nintendo doesn't advertise SSBB on GS - 8.0 Nintendo spends $10,000 advertising on GS - 8.5 Nintendo spends $50,000 advertising on GS - 9.0 Nintendo spends $100,000 advertising on GS, plus sends little goodies (like MS did w/ the Halo xbox) - 9.5 Nintendo spends $1,000,000 advertising on GS - 10?[/QUOTE]lol. Is that the same formula Sony will use with MGS4? :P
This is one of those games that I don't care if the reviews are 10, 7, or whatever. Its just my type of game and I know I will play the hell out of it regardless. Only one more week people :)

probably... :
|300 soundtracks just for a game. Holy crap!!
I think giving this game anything lower than a 9 would be a darn shame. It should score a 9 on replay value alone.
Your Brawl sig is a bit too wide for this message board. :)
Yep its gonna be one of my fav of all time but this quote is just BS:''To my amazement, the lag wasn't nearly as awful as I had anticipated. In fact, it can be directly compared to playing Smash Bros. on a plasma television. That means that casual players will believe lag doesn't even exist, and competitive gamers will be able to adjust to the ever-so-slight delay.''I have played melee for about 6 years now and the last half year i've played it on my Plasma. And i havent experienced any lag at all. And no i am not a casual rofl, me pro.
damn it.... I have to buy another game..... ugh.... my wallet is teh crying!
too bad fanboys will miss out on this quality game...
Finally a game I'll actually bother playing online with my wii =o.
