Reviews for "Brother Battle"
Good for a first
Nice sprite animation, but it was too short. I won't hold that against you because it's your first flash, but you do have room for improvement. It needed to be a little faster paced, and some actual voices would be nice instead of ones found in video games. The movement of the sprites and the sound synching was great, but some of the jokes I didn't find funny. Overall, great sprite animation for the first time, but you know what you need to improve.
Grade: B-

Thank you for the review. And you know, you are right. I know I can improve. the second sprite flash movie i've been working on already has many little improvments. So by the looks of it, the next one should be better, and hopefuly longer.
Great sprite flash
~The Pros~
Well, for starters, that was a pretty great sprite flash. The sprites were really well done, and they were really clear and not pixelated like in other flash movies. The sprite backgrounds were done really well, and the sprite water reminded me of the good old days of all the Mario games. The music was done really well, ane the sounds of Luigi and Mario were too. This flash was really funny as well, especially when Bowser cried at the end.
~The Cons~
This flash was really wasn't that bad of a flash. However, there were some flaws that were present throughout the flash. First of all, there wasn't any voice acting throughout the flash. Voice acting is a very important feature in flashes that feature dialouge, and I think that you should have added some voices.
Oveall, a really clear flash that wasn't pixelated, but need voices to make the flash more exciting. I hope you benefit from this review! XD

a lot of people seem to say the same regarding the voice acting. And I understand the way you feel. The only thing is that I perfer to keep the voices as mario sound effects from old mario games because the way I see it, it's consistent with the style i'm trying to use. Alot like the way Randy Solem was able to make such brilliant sprite movies almost all without a single voice over.
still I will keep what you said into consideration and drop a few spoken lines here or there in future projects.
Thanks for the review. Have a good day.
A pretty cool sprite
~The good~
This was a very cool little sprite flash. They moved very smoothly and I enjoyed the clear backgrounds. The music was did good to the mario name, it fit right into this flash. The sound effacts were put in exeptionally well, the jumping sound and bomb sounds were in synche with the movements perfectly.
~The bad~
No voiceover, so there were a couple parts where it was very quiet and it got pretty dull with no sound or music. Also, a better plot, more in-depth plot would've been cool, in this they just seemed they were fighting pointlessly, and Mario was randomly in the Bower Mobile. Some more action would've also been cool.
Overall, a pretty cool sprite flash that really didn't get the recognition it deserves. I hope this review was helpful!
4/5

I know what you mean about it being akwardly quiet at times. I'm now working on perfecting the use of certain music clips to avoid that. Thanks for the tip
As for the story, I'll be honest.
They were fighting pointlessly. XD
But I was aware of that since the start. I never intended it to be a flash movie for NG but in the end I made it one. Hopefully my next movie will have a more intresting plot to it.
Thanks for the review.
well. . . .
This is a decent flash movie. The problem is that this has been done before. The plot of luigi getting revenge on his brother is quite old. If you want to use video game people, think of an original plot that takes at least 10 minutes to think up.
Guitardude responds:
No thanks. I'll stick to my style.
