I would love to give my opinion as I bought it the other day. But when I went to play it on my laptop, it never came with a product code. So I can't play it. >>
I personally think the game is better than Melee, it has everything Melee has and then some more. The game feels a bit slower but no less chaotic. But I played Melee much more (beyond the game I had it for a much longer space of time) and all those years ago feel the need I did is because I had friends who were about the same level as me and loved the game aswell. I played it much longer after getting all the characters and stages because I wanted to get better and play it with those friends often. But now I'm at Uni and I use a cable so I can't get into the internet and play online and also there is no-one (except for 1) who is as much into it as I am, so I don't feel or want to play it more beyond unlocking all the stages and character. I could try and get more music, but I found the one I wanted and I don't feel like getting more. Even if the game is much better than Melee.
I understand and do somewhat agree with your statement, it did indeed really add to the atmosphere of the video, but there are other effects that could add to it instead of sticking to 1 effect the whole time. It was far from a bad idea, it was better to have it then not at all. But that's just my opinion. I understand the point you made about "The Office", but camera styles and that effect are different things in my eyes, for different purposes.
No that's fair enough keep it as it is then. Better to ask then not at all. =D As with the poison, I've had the character actually be poisoned with the knelling thing, but when that doesn't happen the character stands still and does a light glow, I don't get why that's there, it doesn't do anthing, they can still attack and their status is normal, but there is a random glow which doesn't make sense.
WTF at the Inn battle. XD as for the other secret battle, there is a problem with the sprite, it doesn't all show up, only a part of it does. In the new cave in the dead end, it would be nice if you add a treasure chest or something instead of nothing happening. Oh lol at the new boss's name. XD Elizabeth, I think that you battling the monster seems a bit pointless, especailly with the unbeatable battle coming up. I think just having me facing it would be better, instead of both battles. But anyway, GO ME. Monster problem - When the spiders poisonous attack didn't actually cause poison, the character glowed but it didn't do anything to his health is that ment to happen? Spoilers - I found the change over as Orange to battle Vivi was weird, it was nice to see how Superarts work and see what another character is like, but I think it would of been better and seem more kickass if you got control of Vivi, but having him lose would ruin that and 3 unbeatable battles would seem a bit much esepcailly so early on unless you get rid of the Ghetto one and make Zack being knocked out a cut-scene maybe. Unless Orange is playable later on or you have a wider reason why you play as Orange then nevermind. But a great add-on to the demo and I can't wait to see what comes up later, and more of ME. =D
