 The Gamecube Version only Better March 10, 2008
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
It's a lot like the gamecube version only updated and better. The controls on the classic controller are a lot like a cross between the N64 and the Gamecube. They are not quite as good as the n64 but definitely better than the gamecube.

This review may be a little long.
After countless delays, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is finally here, and it goes above and beyond Super Smash Bros. Melee in almost every way possible.
The improvements over the previous Smash Brothers game are quite abundant. There are now thirty five characters. Fourteen of which must be unlocked first, either through several matches, classic mode or the games adventure mode. There are also a plethora of new stages as well as a few classic ones thrown in from Super Smash Bros. Melee. There are also new items and a whole new slew of extras to be found within this game. Simply put, this game is huge and won't keep you busy for just weeks, but months on end. Perhaps even years.
There are two big single player modes to trump through. First, there is classic mode which is not much different from the classic mode presented in Melee. You'll fight battles either one on one, two on two, three on one or a giant version of a character. There are also team battles and "Metal Menaces" to fight. You'll also see the return of Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Classic Mode can now be done with a friend instead of just by yourself as well.
However, the real deal in single player is easily the Subspace Emissary. Brawl's own adventure mode. The adventure mode here actually includes a story. The story is a little confusing at first. Mainly because there's no voice acting or even written dialog between the characters. You'll eventually grasp on to it, though, and even come to like it. The story even comes off as somewhat epic. The adventure mode here is much more fleshed out than in Melee. You'll fight an abundance of characters and have an abundance of characters join your ranks. You'll fight through chaotic boss fights and intricately designed levels. And you don't even have to go through adventure mode alone. A friend can fight alongside and many moments in the story call for more than one character to go through a certain level. The other good thing about going through Adventure Mode is that it can be a different experience on a subsequent play. Even better, however, is that the Adventure Mode is not that short. It will easily take you anywhere from nine to ten hours to complete it the first time, and you'll end up having to play a second time just to snag all the trophies.
Of course, the real treasure of any Smash Bros. game is the multiplayer aspect. Brawl doesn't disappoint. The matches are fierce and there are a ton of new things. As in the previous games, players go to a level where they battle against either other players or the computer. There are several new items added this time around. There's the sticky bomb, which sticks to a character until it detonates. There's the assist trophy which works a lot like the Pokeball and many more. The most important new item, though, is easily the Final Smash. The Final Smash is a devastating attack that usually serves as a one hit kill. You'll probably want to check out every character's Final Smash skill at least once. These aren't just the most powerful attacks in the game, they're some of the coolest looking as well.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl also supports four different controller functions. The Wii Remote by itself, the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, the Classic Controller and the Gamecube Controller. All of these controls are decent, but the Gamecube controller is easily the best of the lot. The controls are mapped out exactly like Super Smash Brothers Melee. Anyone who played Melee to no end will easily find comfort in the controls here. Regardless of what control function you use, the controls are tight and highly responsive.
The best part about Brawl, however, may very well be all the extras. You've got a series of trophies to collect and characters to unlock, but there's a lot more than just these things. You can also unlock soundtrack selections and new stages as well. In addition to all these things you can also save some matches and watch them again. Brawl also gives you the option of creating your own levels and saving screenshots. This is in addition to some of the things that returned from Melee such as Event Battles and the Homerun Contest. There's so much to be explored within this game. Brawl also goes online, and being able to fight people anywhere is amazing.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl also looks and sounds incredible. The graphics being the best the Wii has yet. The stages themselves look absolutely incredible. The backgrounds are highly detailed. The music here is some of the best to grace the gaming world. Nintendo got some of the most famous composers in the industry to contribute music and the soundtrack doesn't disappoint.
Is Brawl perfect? No. While it's nice to go online you'll still have to deal with friend codes and there's no way to voice chat or communicate with the people you're playing against online. When playing with friends, it'd be nice to be able to say something. The game also suffers from some fairly long load times. And while Adventure Mode is a treat, the last few hours of the run can become extremely repetitive.
Despite all this, Super Smash Brawl is a must buy for Super Smash Brothers fans. If you enjoyed Super Smash Brothers Melee and the original title that started it all, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a real treat to own.
Amazing!! March 10, 2008

This is probably the best game on Wii ever!! The game has so many features and options that it's almost overwhelming! I love the new characters and the new stages. The Graphics are amazing!! Diffidently worth your dollar especially with those high Wii game price tags.
 Doesn't work March 10, 2008

Great. So I put the game into my Wii and get a DRE every time. Awesome. This is what I get for being fool enough to get a Wii at launch? Terrible. Had to go to a friend's just to play it, I was NOT impressed at all. Ended up giving SSBB to him, had my Wii sold for fifty dollars an hour later. Nintendo's done for as far as I'm concerned.
The Best Game Ever Played March 9, 2008
9 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is for sure the best game I have ever played. The few other reviews that say this game is overated, bad, or just like Super Smash Bros. Melee are wrong. This game is packed with new players, such as awesome Meta Knight, a new feature: Build Your own Stage, the new co-op mode, and so much more. You can play this game for hours and never get tired of it. Though the release date was delayed until March, 9, it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this game to people of all ages.
