    Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is tons of fun for fans of 8-bit brawlers. This is a great freebie for people who backed Chronic Blunt Punch, and for those who didn’t it’s easy to get your money’s worth from the cost of admission. As an NES beat ’em up rated E10, it’s a short title with simple gameplay and the tone is more in tune with the short-lived Clerks animated series than how Jay and Silent Bob are portrayed in Smith’s films. But that may have also been intentional since the NES did have puritan content standards that would have never allowed Jay’s rap to exist in glorious 8-bit chiptune. Either way, Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is a fun title that retro gamers and Kevin Smith fans can enjoy while they wait for Chronic Blunt Punch or his next film.

    It may not be perfect, but if you're a fan of the source material, it's well worth the price of admission. [Issue #47 – July/August 2020, p. 23]

    The sheer amount of references in Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl made me want to rewatch all of Kevin Smith’s catalog of films, probably while replaying Mall Brawl to find any I missed (I know what you’re thinking, and yes - Dogma is in Mall Brawl). A serviceable beat ‘em up makes it a fine enough game for fans of the genre. Mostly, it’s a game for fans of Jay and Silent Bob as a way to pass the time until Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch makes its way into our loving hands.

    Jay and SIlent Bob: Mall Brawl is a strong achievement, a worthy NES throwback and a fun game for Kevin Smith fans and haters alike. Unfortunately it is hamstrung by a stage so bad that it brings down the entire experience and should, quite simply, be patched out entirely or made significantly shorter and easier. Still, persevere through it and you'll find it's sandwiched with joyful 8-bit face-kicking fun with two stoner icons. The whole world's against us dude, I swear to god.

    Dope little game. Can't wait for my actual cartridge!
    Plays just like a NES game, but some awesome modern touches.

    J&SBMB is a tribute to 80's NES games and the ViewAskew cinematic universe. There are lots of references to both classic NES games and theJ&SBMB is a tribute to 80's NES games and the ViewAskew cinematic universe. There are lots of references to both classic NES games and the Kevin Smith movies, but I think the game may be too retro for it's own good. I don't think it's worth it at $15, as there's only nine chapters (most of which are repetitive) and and you can beat the game casually in under an hour and a half. if you're a fan of NES titles and the ViewAskew universe, then by all means pick this game up. But if you're looking for a retro beat-em-up, wait until it's on sale for less than $10.

    Very good beat'em up for Jay and SilentBob fans. Very cool game with some inovations and oldschool game mechanics.
