"Old-school beat &s;em ups don&s;t get much more authentic or enjoyable than Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl. Snootch to the nootch!"

"Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl is a game that so faithfully mimics a classic NES beat &s;em up, but lacks the fidelity, attention to detail, or variety of scenarios to fully achieve what it sets out to do."

"Overall, Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is an enjoyable title if you can forgive some of its issues. The overly aggressive AI, the short hit reach, and the classic game padding don&s;t make for a pleasant experience once you …"

"Is a fairly solid beat ’em up paying homage to the greatest of Kevin Smith’s greatest gags worth a full fifteen dollars? While the enjoyment of it seems a bit situational, if you’re a fan of Smith’s comedy hijinks and …"

"Kevin Smith built a career on fan service, and Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is as fan service-y as it gets. On its face, it&s;s a typical arcade beat-&s;em-up, but with a shiny View Askew coat of paint. If …"

"There’s slightly more fun on the cards when playing in co-op mode with a friend, as some of the game’s downsides can be easily counteracted with brute force by duos. If you’re a super-fan of Kevin Smith’s work, you can …"
