Yahtzee on Super Smash Bros. Brawl: well said

After the ass-kicking I got from Nintendo fans for daring to say a few negative things about "Super Mario Galaxy" last November, I haven't exactly been eager to review more games from that particular publisher. Not that I won't -- since I shouldn't be intimidated by a few hundred hard core fan-boys -- but I am spreading them around, which is why Matt Peckham reviewed "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" for Variety. And he gave it a really good review.

Me? Well, I haven't played the whole thing, to be fair. But I'm not a big fan of fighting games. Or button smashers. And I hate games with a big multi-player element where you have to do all sorts of stuff in single player first to unlock all the multi-player elements. Note to videogame publishers: When I am paying you $50 or $60, I expect to have access to everything advertised on the back of the box whenever I want it.

Which is why I heartily endorse this review of SSBB by Yahtzee:

Yahtzee sure has a way with words.

Yes. THANKYOU. I think it's a great game, but has plenty of flaws. A great game for you and your vodka drunken friends to play, not a show-stopper like the hype built it up to be. Why the fuck did they make me play forever to unlock Sonic? Just let me and my friends open it up and start beating the ever-living shit out of each other with all the characters already.
