I recently went to my friend's house, and he has a Wii. So that's what we did for a fair amount of time.

And now to the point. Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I own a Nintendo 64 and owned a Gamecube, along with their respective SSB titles. Now these were fun games, but as I was exposed to new styles and genres of games, the simple charms of yesteryear were superseded by advanced gameplay, graphics and plot. So as I went into SSBB, I didn't have the massive expectations that have infected the internet so thoroughly.

And guess what happened? I liked it.

But only to an extent. As my time with the game grew close to an hour, I began to tire of the repetitive action, unbalanced characters, and sub-par graphics. You see, classifying it as a fighting game is really deceiving. Fighting games have precise moves, deep combat systems, and much more. Comparing Street Fighter 2 to Brawl is like comparing Portal to it's flash version: Both are good, but one stands out as the true champion.

In conclusion, go play Street Fighter. Or Call of duty 4. Or Halo. Or any other outstanding game.
