Title: Fun for me and for my seven-year-old
Review: Yeah, I'm one of those moms who plugs her kid into a game console from time to time, but I feel ambivalent about it, so I try to monitor the content and, as often as possible, play with my son so that we're together and more than just the slackjawed, button-pushing part of his brain gets activated. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is easy enough to play and gets better as the player gets better. That makes it a game that my son enjoys a lot. He can play it without direction from an adult. And it's fun for me to play, too.The graphics are beautiful. The sound is great. But I don't think this is quite as much better than the Gamecube Melee as I had hoped it would be. Like others, I was hoping for better integration of the wii remote's capabilities. The reversion to thumb gymnastics at the finger olympics is a disappointment after Mario Party 8 got my aging rear end off the couch to bat at balls and shake soda cans.
Is the review positive or negative?
