Brawl kinda... sucks, honestly.

Every so often, my friends will come over and we'll play Melee for a couple hours. I'm not a big fan of Melee, but it has its moments that keep me amused. When my friends came over with Brawl, I was hyped. After ten minutes of being amazed, I realized something: I was playing Melee. This felt exactly like any other damn time my friends came over. Perhaps I didn't get to experience very much of the game -- I didn't get to see the single-player mode at all -- but what I saw was very disappointing. The most fun I had was where we were trying to get a trophy for getting a certain amount of swim time; we were constantly taking pictures of our poor little guys drowning in awkward positions next to each other.
