Video Game Review

The review I read was by Lark Anderson about Super Smash Brothers Brawl on Nintendo Wii. The review introduces the game by stating how long its been since the previous two sequels have been made. It hypes the reader by describing how it appeals to both die hard smash fans and first time players alike. The reviewer compares brawl to the previous smash games in order to describe the new aspects of the game. These features include new characters, items, levels and much more. The review gives an in depth description of how to play the game and strategies that will help you master the game as well. The reviewer is obviously impressed with the game and shows this with statements like, "it is one of the most impressive looking game on the Nintendo Wii." Specifically, Lark admires the stunning new graphics and banging song track. I am a huge fan of the game and I agree with everything Lark says.

The next review was by Jeff Gertsmann about Mortal Combat: Deadly Alliance on Nintendo Gamecube. Jeff introduces the review by describing how the mortal Combat games have decreased in both quality and popularity over the years. But he states this version is "suprisingly well done" compared to the less popular sequels. One reason this version is better than the others is because the characters are a variety of old and new faces from the sequels. Also there are better graphics and attacks because the player can use different stances and longer combos to combat the enemy. The characters have new moves but the game fails to incorporate popular old moves such as "the uppercut," which may dissapoint long time players. The review describes this game as more serious compared to the others. It is the first 3D Mortal Combat game made and although it is not quite up to par with other 3D fighting games, it "does a great job of balancing the classic Mortal Kombat style with enough new additions to draw in people who aren't completely familiar with the rest of the series." I have never played this game but I have played previous versions and after reading the review I anticipate this Mortal Combat to be the best one on the market.
