I love this game, though, that is because I love Final Fantasy VII. The story in this game is great, it opens and explains much of the world of FFVII, though most of which may really only be appreciated by fans of the original game. The gameplay is decent, though not exactly great, what really drives the game is the story. A repetitive dungeon crawler action rpg that takes place in the FFVII universe with a great story and cinematics. To be fair~ it probably deserves closer to a 4 star, though the fact that I love the story and enjoy this game more then any other on the psp, im giving it the 5.
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

If you enjoyed the other super smash brothers, there is nothing really holding you back from getting this and enjoying it. You may be likely to miss old things or be bothered with some of the changes, though there is alot of good rich content added. The one thing that bothers me about this addition, the removal of the grading system after ever battle.In SSBmelee, you would be told about how you acted in battle and be graded points for it, or taken points from, such as repetively using the same move, it was a fun quirk. The campaign in this one is very long and decently fun, the multiplayer modes, while fun, are lacking of features and modes. The wifi online with people that you do not know never has worked for me and I do not have friends on the Wii to get codes from. This game is overall the best Wii game, though, that is saying next to nothing on this system.
What's great about it: It's Super smash brothers, more charectors and content
What's not so great: Some additions spoil gameplay, some good things removed

This is Rainbow Six Vegas, the content in this game could have easily been made a patch from the original via xbox live/ Playstation Store. The original was a great game and this one is good also, though it is not fresh enough to be great. The originals campaign was alot more theatrical and altogether more thought out. Most every feature, save some of the ranking system tweaks are exactly as it was before- not all bad, just not a 60$ purchase of content. My main problem with this game ( and ubisoft have been known to do this) is sporadic freezing at random points, others have encountered this also, i'v learned from research.
Altogether this is a good game- closely rivaling Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.. Though it falls just short, It has its own advantages over the others, though doesn't quite do the other things as well. If you like charector unlockables and ranking up, then it just may be worth a shot- everything else it has done is decent to good, though not directly comparable to the other mentioned games.
What's great about it: Ranking system, Customization, Good online
What's not so great: Uninspiring story, FREEZING, Nothing new
