Bad

Bad Smash Bros. clone.

Tittle says it all. There is no balance to the characters at all. Some are almost unplayable. 90% of the story mode is just platforming witch is quite frustrating considering all the characters control very floaty and you have to jump with the Y-button instead of pushing up on the stick like in Smash Bros. There's no voice acting either, only the announcer narrates the story and all the characters just say a one liner when they are supposed to be speaking and you have to read all the dialog. The finishing moves are the coolest thing about the game as well as some of the environments. I'd skip it if i were you unless you're a super fan of late 2000's Cartoon Network shows.

I really love this game, Even though its very similar to Super Smash Bros. I really love how it is all about cartoon network. I love the story mode and the game is fun. I don't know why the critics are complaining about this game. Though I do recommend that they remake this or make a sequel that has more Characters : )

First off I love Super Smash Bros. I got this game thinking it would be like it just with Cartoon Network characters. I was wrong. It was a lot less fun than Smash Bros. The gameplay is bad, and the voicing is worse. I only like how I could fight my favorite characters together. Also if you are a gamerscore hound like me, this game has some pretty easy achievements, I got them all in a weekend.
