Super Smash Bros. Brawl receives perfect Famitsu score and new features trailer
It doesn’t matter how many Super Smash Bros. Brawl delays Nintendo throw at its fans, the game is all the better for it. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has just reviewed the Wii fighter and scored it a perfect 40/40 score. This score consists out of four people finishing the game and scoring it between 1 and 10, the higher the better they liked it. Why is this so special? Because since 1986 they only awarded a perfect score to 7 games: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for N64), Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast), Vagrant Story (2000, Square, for PlayStation), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for GameCube), Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for DS), Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PS2), and now Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii). Here’s what they said about the game:
1. This time single player has tons of content. The adventure mode is quite long and fun. And the story presentation is amazing. As for the fights, with the strong unpredictable factor that comes with final smashes, more than ever we can be excited about matches not being related to skill. The controls and sound are also satisfying. Hats off to Nintendo. Score: 10
2. The new unpredictable factor that is the final smash allows us to enjoy an amazing effect and refreshing feel from any character. The fights are even more intense. The single player modes are abundant and a plus. The Fallen angel Adventure mode’s movie and action tempo are good and you just forget time while playing. I’m highly satisfied with the game. Score: 10
3. The powerhouse cast and gimmicks! The dynamic and subtle character movements! The must see final smashes! There are tons of battle stages. The single player mode is also extremely satisfying. There is a stage edit, and you can browse through the detailed information in the game. Score 10
4. The moves of the the all star roster of characters have been polished, and the addicting one player mode has been perfected. With its outstanding graphics and wonderful ambience, Brawl is an epic game in which you can feel the efforts that went into it. Every time you play it, you’ll discover something new, and you’ll savor both sweet joy and bitter loss when you battle. Score: 10
