I bought this game for the face making ability and now that seems to be gone--! The only way this game is playable is if you face another person--the AI stinks.

Please patch this. Tone the AI down to the point that I have a chance on Fierce. Who play tested this? Probally the same group of testers that tested Midnight Club LA. Nothing this difficult can be fun.

This is ridiculous.

I've been a gamer for 2 decades and I've never played a game that's so frustrating. You're a.i. programmers did a crappy job. It's virtually unplayable.

There are a lot of gamers that don't even go to websites like this to view strategy guides. They try to figure it out themselves and this game is just too unforgiving for that.

How this got past QA is a riddle....

I'm guessing the sales are terrible because of the reviews and crappy demo. It's a shame, because this game could have been fun for hardcore and casual gamer.

Funny thing there isnt any real mention for a patch, so I'm gonna return to the store and buy a game that's balanced.

and dont give me the "watch a vid for stratagy" thing, i can play it just fine, and have no problems getting to the end, but casual players just wont be able to play it vs. the cpu. the controls are way too clumsy, when you go to do a parry or block, it seems the controls selectivly, either allow it or dont. and that is frustrating, hitting the block button, and it doesnt block, the attack buttons are dead on, but blocking and parry just dont react the way they need to. i really wish you took this games visuals, and paired it with a fightnight style control. i mean leave the button mashing or what ever, but make it so you can actually defend yourselve. the lack of an effective defensive system, WILL, I REPEAT WILL FRUSTRATE THE SOUL FROM YOUR BODY!!! and its such a beautiful game, best looking yet. it just needs better controls. remember this for version 2,(if they think its even worth doing) and you will have the next "super punch out"

beautiful game + crappy gameplay = terrible game

ugly game + great gameplay = decent game

why spend so much time on the looks if your gonna make a lousy performing game ..... easy setting??? B.S. no one that buys this game will be happy, ive been gaming since the atari 2600 i know vid games, this one blows

Hey, sorry you had a disappointing time with the game. You're right to be frustrated; the game doesn't do the best job of showing you the right way to play it. I'd encourage you to check out some videos of strategy, because they show some of the more clever ways to play. There's the video I posted above, and there's a couple of videos by one of our community members which are pretty good examples of some skills.

I thought this game was going to be cool. Truth of the matter is the commercials are better than the game itself. I have been playing video games for a long time and this is up there with one of the worst. I rented this game and took it back the very next day. Just a bunch of button mashing and frustration. If anyone is thinking about buying this game, DONT.

Todd for the sake of the single player game you really need a patch. The game is really for the casual market but I'm affraid that it's way to difficult in single player on easy as the other post have stated. I have no other complaints. Great looking and interesting title that needs further tweeking before word of mouth crushes all hopes of a sequel.

Thanks for the comments David. You're definitely right that it's too hard, and this is something I wish we'd had more time to tune. We'll see if a patch like that is feasible.

You're absolutely right that the meat of the fun is in the multiplayer.

Well, it's not THAT bad. It really can be fun once you get the hang of it, and when played against friend. But it is too unforgiving. The difficulty setting in Brawl for it All is just way too difficult. No game should be that brutal on the easy setting...it just doesn't make sense.

The easy setting in the Fight mode (your vs mode in other fighting games) is just right. I wish they could have implemented that difficulty in Brawl for it All.

I did manage to complete the Brawl, but it was very difficult, and incredibly frustrating at times...it just doesn't match the difficulty setting...I can't say that enough.

Patch this with an update asap. Change the difficulty settings in Brawl to be in line with the "Fight" mode difficulties.
