    A really nice stop gap title until Chronic Blunt Punch arrives and decent use of an old system. A few fiddly controls, but nothing that can't be forgiven.

    Old-school beat 'em ups don't get much more authentic or enjoyable than Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl. Snootch to the nootch!

    Kevin Smith built a career on fan service, and Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is as fan service-y as it gets. On its face, it’s a typical arcade beat-’em-up, but with a shiny View Askew coat of paint. If you’re looking for a solid brawler that harkens to the NES days or you’re an aficionado of Smith’s filmography, it’s easy to recommend this charming title.

    Though the difficulty is going to put off a lot of newcomers to the genre, the truth is that most of the love for this title is still going to come from gamers who grew up, not only with a yearning for an age where the achievement was simply completing a tough brawler, but for the age itself; when stoner humour was prevalent, and where, with just a little scratching of the surface, you could find real emotional depth and good feeling in movies such as Mallrats. Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl doesn't rest on its laurels, though, and provides as much depth in its combat as any Smith vehicle. The health regen through character switching also makes it far more tactical and rewarding than expected. Fun as a solo adventure, and a riot with a hat wearing friend, settle in with a chocolate covered pretzel, and tell them and as many others to check this one out.

    Remove the video game jokes and Kevin Smith references, and Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl is a run-of-the-mill retro beat-’em-up. There’s nothing bad about it, but it also doesn’t do anything special. As a backer bonus for Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch, it seems like a great deal. As an individual game, it’s a harder sell, but if you can recall quotes from Mallrats and still occasionally toss in a “snoogans” into everyday conversations, Mall Brawl is a good time.

    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.
