Originally conceived as a Kickstarter reward for another upcoming game starring the duo, _Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl _ is a mostly paint-by-numbers retro beat 'em up with interesting boss fights and a few surprises scattered throughout its levels. Developer Interabang Entertainment captures the nostalgia of the era well, but manages to also incorporate some of its shortcomings, resulting in a fairly forgettable experience outside of the source material's influence on the ti

As is the case with the games that inspired it, Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl feels designed more around local co-op play than solo action. Enemies gang up on an isolated player often, getting off cheap shots that could be avoided with a second character on screen. Playing alone does allow for switching between Jay and Silent Bob at will, so it's not impossible to beat. Still, bringing a friend to the couch is very much recommen

At least the gameplay tries its best to make up for the lack of panache in the rest of the package. Override 2 has a healthy roster of characters to choose from, each with a unique fighting style and personality to spare. There's a candy-themed mech that can trap opponents in bubble gum, a walking toaster with flame cannons, and even the stars of Ultraman for players willing to dive into the DLC. It's fun trying out different characters for the first time and choosing a favorite, but it's not fun to try to do that against online opponents, and that's mostly what the game wants players to be doing at all ti

The small arenas provide chaotic fun against human opponents, and there's definitely fun to be had with Override 2 with a group of like-minded buddies on a couch. However, the online focus and complete lack of a campaign structure kill any drive to keep unlocking cosmetics and bots in single player, and those are the only two options available. Put as simply as possible, _Override 2: Super Mech League _ feels like a demo for a larger experience that doesn't exist. Even as a value-priced title, there's little reason to dive in for all but the most dedicated fans of mechanized com

Along with the other characters confirmed for the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl roster , it seems fans can add Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender , Korra from The Legend of Korra , Ren and Stimpy, and finally, Catdog to the list. None of these characters have been confirmed for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl in an official capacity, but they all seem like obvious additions to the game, especially Aang and Ko

As far as gameplay goes, both slackers have just a jump and a pair of attacks, letting players perform a dropkick and grab foes when combining the two. It's a simplistic control scheme that gets the job done without much flair, and the lack of something like a life-draining super move is surprising. Then again, it might not need that extra level of strategy thanks to its accessibility. The game is definitely easier than many of its 8-bit contemporaries, offering a true challenge only after the first playthrough wraps up. Not many are going to beat these levels on the first try, but it's easy to make progress thanks to checkpoints at the start of each stage and the familiar old-school feeling of mastery through trial and https://brawlstarsfans.com er

Anyone picking up Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl _ will know what they're getting into from the jump. The 8-bit action will have a hard time attracting newcomers to this style of game, but it does successfully capture both the spirit of classics like _Double Dragon and the vibe of Kevin Smith's modern output. Co-op play does shine brighter than solo brawling, and the game doesn't come close to modern favorites like Streets of Rage 4 , but there is a lot to like for someone who just needs a new NES-style fix in 2

So, like any normal human being, I set the new trailer to 0.25x and scoured it for clues. Where is Aang? Korra? Katara? Zuko? Iroh? Sokka? Toph? Asami? The Last Airbender has a rating of 9.3 on IMDb , while Korra earned itself a respectable 8.4 . For the sake of comparison, SpongeBob has an 8.2 , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a 7.8 , and The Wild Thornberrys has a 6.7 , all of which - as mentioned in the first paragraph - have characters representing them in the game. When you consider that Avatar: The Last Airbender is Nickelodeon’s highest-rated show of all time, and that Nick recently set up Avatar Studios as a means of specifically focusing on the future of that series, it would seem absolutely absurd for it to exclude it from its upcoming brawler.

There's plenty of exciting characters that could make their way to this Nickelodeon Super Smash Bros. game , and hopefully fans don't have to wait too much longer to find out everyone that made the

Korra’s braids are usually pretty thin, but if you watch an action sequence from the show you’ll see that her hair thickens in combat. Meanwhile, Aang’s bald head and distinctive ears separate his silhouette from those of pretty much every other Nickelodeon character ever created. As protagonists of some of Nick’s biggest shows, they’re natural shoo-ins for a game - especially a fighting game. Still, it’s refreshing to see some confirmation that we’ve got at least one Avatar stage and two Avatar characters. If they weren’t in All-Star Brawl, there’s no way in hell I’d have considered playing it. Now, though… Well, I might start playing Smash again so I can become an esports pro as a Korra main.
