Super Smash Bros. Brawl

2008.
Platform: Nintendo Wii

- Created by Nintendo, Sora
- Crossover fighting game
- 3rd installment of the series Super Smash Bros.

Gameplay

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for up to 4 players. It's a crossover game that mashes together a lot of different games like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Sonic, Metal Gear Solid, and so on. The goal of a match is to knock your opponents out of the stage. There is no health bar, as you attack your opponents their damage percentage goes up. The more damage they have the easier they'll be to send flying. The controls and gameplay are simple, but there's tons of customization that can be done, and there are various items as well (bombs, a baseball bat, items from different games, etc.). There are also tons of modes like the story mode, boss battles, training, etc. You can collect a huge amount of trophies, stickers, and cd's that will unlock the music from the game.

Final thoughts

This is an amazing game. Lots of fun has been had. They put a lot of thought into the characters and their moves. The music is phenomenal, and there's a lot of it.

Lucky Luke (ps1)

1998.
 Platform: Playstation

- Created by Infogrames
- Based on the Belgian comic of the same name

Story

The Dalton brothers have escaped jail again. When Lucky Luke finds out about this he sets off to find and arrest them, facing various challenges along the way.

Gameplay

Lucky Luke is mostly a platformer, but it often switches to different types of gameplay, which I enjoy. For example, riding on horseback, a minecart level and fist fighting in a saloon. Some platforming levels require you to simply reach the end, and some to collect all the needed objects before doing so. A big plus is the game's variety, in my opinion. After each level you can buy extra lives with the money you've collected and/or you can pay for a password. The game cannot be saved, so in order to continue where you left off last time, you need to input a password. Some people might not like the idea of buying passwords, but I think it makes things more interesting. A good way to make money besides collecting it in levels is to collect all the letter B's in a level. That will allow you to play a bonus game once you complete the level, and you can get a lot of money by playing it. What I don't like about the game is that there are some jumps that require too much precision. The minecart level is frustrating because there are some hazards that you can't see very well due to the camera being behind the character, and they don't give you enough time to react.

Final thoughts

The game is difficult and fun. It's quite short, and despite its problems it's enjoyable. An OK game, and the music is really good.

WarioWare, Inc.

WarioWare, Inc. (2003.)
Gaming platform: Game Boy Advance

-Created by Nintendo R&D1
-First WarioWare game

Story

Wario was watching TV one evening when he saw a special report on video game sales going up. He sees this as an opportunity to make tons of money, so he buys a laptop computer and starts working. He realises that making games is hard work so he calls his friends to make games for him. WarioWare Inc. is created with Wario as the president.

Gameplay

This game consists of a number of different minigames (they're called "microgames" here because they're only about 5 seconds long). When you select a stage, you must complete a certain number of microgames and the last boss microgame (which is longer than normal) in order to beat the level. If you fail 4 microgames, you lose. When a microgame starts, you are given a short message that gives you a hint of what you need to do to complete it.

Final thoughts

This game is extremely fun and addicting. It has a lot of content; there are special minigames and special stages. After you've beaten a stage, if you play it again it will be endless, with increasing difficulty and speed so you can get high scores and unlock new games. You can also play the microgames separately to master them. It's funny, weird and overall a great game.

My rating for this game is 9/10, sadly there are not so many planes to offer. Physics are
not completed on planes (example - critical hits).

BUT
However

-It contains interesting story, playing is fun, handling gets crazy (in a good way).
