I read the review, and since I don't have a livejournal:
- I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE that lastability has become overrated. I do think it's good for a game to have meat to it, but in way too many cases, that meat is tough and gamey and full of buckshot. Many of Nintendo's games this generation were marred by attempts to stretch them out with boring extras.
- The game sounds decently fun, but I find brawlers too repetitive. Overall, it sounds like the press under-rated the game. If I had a PS2 or an Xbox, I'd rent it, at least.
- Lots of LOLs, as usual.
