    Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is the most disappointing kind of game as it’s one that offers so much promise and then fails to deliver on it, even when it comes to the most obvious, low-hanging fruit.

The lack of voice acting makes the game feel like a Super Smash Bros game with Nickelodeon mods. They could have at least used some voices from old episodes of Nickelodeon shows, but the developers were too greedy for that. Despite the lack of voice acting, there are only 20 characters. The greedy developers probably have popular characters like Jimmy Neutron locked behind a future DLC paywall.

    The graphics are garbage. The animations are pathetic. The soundtrack is beyond horrible. The stages are poorly designed. The physics are trash. The combat in this game is boring and repetitive. When I pay $50, I expect a combat system with depth and detail. All the developers did in this game is put pretty colorful lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun. None of that is fun for me. There isn't even a story mode. The developers were too cheap and lazy to develop one.

    There is multiplayer and offline couch play. I appreciate that but this doesn't change the trash quality of this game. I expect better quality at $50. Spongebob has a cringeworthy face on the cover of this game. This made me remove the cover paper off the game case and rip it into pieces. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Full Review »

This is one of those games that have great potential to be one of the greats. A lot of people are hating due to the voice acting and other small details, but this has been confirmed by the devs to be fixed in the future, not to mention the devs are really listening to the community right now. I guarantee you in 6months, this game will be something totally different. The main important thing is they have the combat on point and the online has rollback.… Full Review »

    I gave this game 15 minutes before turning it off. It has nothing to offer. No unlockables, no story mode, boring online and just an overall lack of content. And WORST OF ALL NO VOICE ACTING?!?!? Makes the entire experience hollow and 'cash-grabby'. I grew up with most of these characters, so to have zero voice acting... it's utterly pathetic and misses the nostalgia factor that could have catapulted it into greatness (but there is too much holding it back for that to happen).

    Gameplay is fine, it's just a Smash Clone with faster movement.

    Rather install 'Fightcade'- it's a free emulator that lets you play literally any arcade (MAME) fighting game against others, with great rollback netcode.    … Full Review »
