Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Record Setting Sales
March 23, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
The long awaiting third installment of the Super Smash Bros. franchise was released on March 9th and has been setting sales records ever since. On the day of its release it sold almost 875,000 copies and in only a week over 1.4 million copies were sold.
The game is the first in the series to feature online play and although it is sometimes laggy it is a lot of fun and great for when you are alone. There are a ton of new characters and the moves are unique and interesting. Competitive players have had complaints about the new “tripping” and the “floaty” style of play but if you are looking for a great game to play with a few friends be sure to pick this game up.
