GameLog Entry #2
Gameplay:
The second time around I played the story mode by myself and witnessed some crazy events. The story mode was unique and fun at the same time. They got a lot of different levels and there were a variety of obstacles to overcome. The one level that i thought was very interesting was the level with a million Yoshi's. it was like a never ending wave of Yoshi's that spawned and you just had to keep killing them. Luckily i was lucky enough to get one of those super strong singing hammers and killed a lot of them. What I thought about this level though was that it was something different. It was difficult but at the same time it was fun to play.
There are about 9 or 10 different levels in the game. Each level has their own unique touch to it. For instance in the Starfox Sector Z level, there would be random fighter jets that would come down and bomb the characters and if you weren't lucky you'd get hit and die. On the Pokemon level in Saffron city, random Pokemon would come out and attack you. For instance a Chancy would come out and plop out her eggs that were sometimes filled with items. The levels in this game definitely were very cool. As it gave a whole new feel to this type of game.
I experience a lot of flow while playing this game, because when you start playing you get really into it and when you start building up your pecentage you start getting really scared. I remember one time when i was at around 250% on my last stock and I was battling the Iron Mario. I was really focused on beating him that i ended up being late for class. Once you start playing you get really addicted because anything can happen at anytime.
Design:
I thought the game Super Smash Brothers was really well made. It incorporated everything every kid would like. Cute characters, lots of weapons, fighting, and awesome sound effects. There were a lot of levels and a lot of characters to choose from. Also it was different from just any other regular fighting game. In most fighting games you rarely get to have a 4 way free for all battle. What makes this game unique is that you can setup whatever you want with 4 people. Whether you want it to be a 2v2 or a 3v1 or a 1v1v1v1 its up to you. It gives the players the chance to do whatever they want, heck you could even play with 3 computers if you wanted too.
I wouldn't change anything about SSB, the game is made perfectly and it is well balanced. A lot of games have characters that are slightly more powerful or cheap. This game each character is very well-balanced and there isn't one character that is rigged. This game also follows the characters background too. For instance Donkey Kong has all the moves has in DK, such as his ground slam and Whirlwind punch thing. The game feels like they basically pulled out the main characters in all those classics and put them into an arena to fight to the death.
This game has a lot of replay value even after you beat the game or get sick of it. You can always pick this game up with your friends and play because it is interesting to play. It keeps the players addicted because each time you play its different. You can toggle the items on and off, change how many lives each person plays, or even have a free for all death match for 20 minutes.
Like I said before SSB is really unique and creative game. You can play this game for days on end and it will never get boring. Although the graphics may not be the best for this game they are still very good and definitely playable. If the graphics are a real problem you could always wait a couple months, buy a Wii, and get Super Smash Brawl.
