Session #1
SUMMARY
Super Smash Brothers is a game that can be played with up to four people or individually. The players choose their character out of well known characters such as the Mario brothers Mario and Luigi, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Donkey Kong. After choosing your character the player can pick which "course" he would like to battle on. All of the courses are floating landscapes, for example the top of a spaceship floating in outterspace, or a jungle-type landscape suspended in the air. The object of the game is to use your own powers to take all the lives of your opponents lives until they die.

GAMEPLAY
I really enjoyed playing this game during the first session. This game is pretty simple, each character has a few powers to use against the other characters. Learning the combinations to amplify your powers to use against the other players was a great tool after i learned that it was very helpful in defeating my opponents.

I really liked the fact that there is multiple sets that you can play on. The variety and realistic look of all the courses make playing the game multiple times enjoyable. I do wish that the sets were larger. The limited space to play the game in hindered me, especially in the fact that i kept falling off the edge, therefore killing my character multiple times.

Session #2

This time with a little more experience i got a feel for the game a lot more. The lack of variety of characters is frustrating because it seemed that some characters had better specialties and powers than the other characters. This game is enjoyable but very predicatble and not too enjoyable to play for too long. I like the fct that the computer drops specialty tools to allow you an advantage in skill over the other characeters.

I like the fact that we can change the location of the battles, but the locations are very limiting in the ablilty of the players to avoid attacks and stradgize for others.
This game is not too enticing mentally, there isnt really to much stradegy that can be involved but some is helpful for winning. The game reminds me of my childhood when i did play it. I think this game really is a classic it can be enjoyed by players of all levels and skill levels,

Please separate your gamelog entries like you did in the previous assignment. I notice by reading over your previous submission for the last assignment, you did not submit a design section for this game log either. But either way, good job on the game play and summary portion of this assignment. Keep at it!
