Super Smash Bros. Brawl is finely crafted video game. With the exception of some longish loading times, it's technically proficient: the graphics and sounds are well done and, for one, you can play online multiplayer. It provides the player with lots of options in character selection and in character and level customization. And, as it's really two games in one, it's a solid value. But I still hate it. Just like I hate beets.

It doesn't matter if the beets in question were watered with tears of gods and lovingly tilled by the hands of beautiful virgin maidens, I still think that they're disgusting. And so it goes with Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
