As far as recommendations go, I usually opt for others opinions, as opposed to that of a single-reviewer.
I was looking forward in immersing myself in Smash Bros’, bearing in my mind I had never played the Nintendo 64 incarnation. So, there I was quietly anticipating it’s arrival from the US.
Anyway, it turned up – I plonked it on. Played it. Finished it. I repeated this process for about a week, before I came to the conclusion that I really don’t like it. For me, I thought it was vastly over-rated.
There was no “middle-ground” with it, it was all played at a frantic rate. There’s no pacing to this game. It comes across as a button-masher for me. Sure, some of the scenarios looked all right, but I was expecting something special and ended up with a mediocre title. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love my beat-em-up’s, but for the life of me, I just couldn’t bring myself to like this.
Many rave about the multi-player aspects of Smash Bros, but even they wore thin after an hour’s play. To be honest, Super Monkey Ball has upstaged Smash Bros’, in my household.
