 Smashing! August 29, 2008
Who can't enjoy watching Kirby swallowing Bowser, spitting him off the stage and then frying mario with fire breath? Or watching Samus pick up a super spicy curry and taking out King Dedede?
If you are worried because you didn't own a Gamecube and never played Super Smash Bros. Melee, then you need not be! The new game offers a perfect starting point for new players. The adventure mode.
This is certainly not the best mode in the game and lacks the simplicity you'd get from another platformer like New Super Mario Bros. (DS), but it provides a solid 10 hours of gameplay to familiarise yourself with the story, and although the cutscenes lack any dialogue it turns out that Nintendo had quite a group of people doing the few lines that crop up while playing. This shows that perhaps Nintendo dumped the dialogue in fear of making the cutscenes dull and repetitive?
Alongside this mode there are a vast array of other modes in Solo play. There are 4 minigames (one must be unlocked later on) that set you a challenge to break records and unlock collectables. There is a training mode so you can practice a certain character's moves on a CPU player. There is a Classic Mode which is an extremely enjoyable slug fest in which you must defeat enemies in succession. And there's All-Star mode which is unlocked after you unlock all the characters.
Don't be put off by the name, Multiplayer mode is NOT for people who can coax their friends and family into trying a new game. The incredibly advanced CPU players truly act like players would, (minus the panic) and a difficulty setting to boot. It has a wealth of different ways of playing the addictive and exciting core of the game which is a good Brawl.
You'll probably find yourself surprised at the huge amount of unlockables including music, stages, trophies, stage parts and even game demos in the 'Vault'. Here you can watch videos you've previously seen from Adventure Mode, take a look at all the screenshots you've taken, play the demos you've unlocked and even build your own stages to brawl on!
There are, like most games, a couple of minor flaws in SSBB, including the complicated controls that limit th game to more experienced gamers and the online system which isn't all that responsive, but other than that it's a very addicive game that will last months!
With over 25 fighters, huge amounts of interactive stages, fabulous graphics and an awesome array of unlockables, this game gets full marks from my standards!
Multiplayer mayhem! August 27, 2008
I was a bit nervous on spending 30 on a game in a series i'd never played. If you are feeling like this, forget all your worries and buy it. This games multiplayer mode is amazing, me and my little brother must have fought over 100 times but still we are both stunned over some of the moves you pull off. Single play is great fun until you've done it a couple of times, but you can't have everything. Still tottally amazing though.
SSBB August 24, 2008
This game is good for any Nintendo fan, it has lots to do (not just fight or story mode, but mini games like home-run contest). There are many unlockables, and not just one way to unlock the characters.
Only 1 problem i thought- not really a problem, but let me down a little bit. The create-a-stage mode is great, but i felt you couldn't create enough. You could have quite a few options, but couldn't fully customize it. Most of the objects also take up much more blocks then they need, so you couldn't put them right next to each other.
Anyway, i wouldn't let the create a mode put you off, as you can still make good, fun areas to fight in. Amazing game, defiantly recommend it!
Best. Multiplayer. Ever! August 24, 2008

God, what a game. For the multiplayer. After playing the first two, I couldn't imagine it would get any better, but hey, it did! It's much better than Melee, in terms of new and unlockable stuff, graphics and all the tech side of the game. But Melee was, in my opinion, the birth of the multiplayer fighter. Forget Street Fighter, forget Tekken, forget MK, forget Dead or Alive, Melee was the one. And this game improves on Melee in many ways, with more characters, more items and a some what fun single player mode. Those are the stand out new features, but the graphics obviously seem much sharper, with more attention paid to the detail of the arenas.
What about online? Tried at my mates house, and it was a bit slow but nevertheless fun to see Diddy Kong get a Final Smash and blast all the opponents into next year (I was ROFLing at this point!). The best thing was, I didn't get sprayed with a torrent of abuse by the players playing with me (which I no doubt would have got on Xbox Live)!
The best Wii game by far I reckon, it's going to keep my guests amused until the next one comes out! ;D
Fantastic! August 18, 2008

Gosh, I 've bought so many Wii games recently and this has got to be the cream of the crop.
1.)Think of it as Mortal Combat, but with all the characters you grew up playing on Nintendo.
2.)It has a lots of extras, like the mini games, and creating your on play stages. It has also good training levels as well.
3.)Be aware that the games "does not use Wii motion" so the controlling is pretty much like past generation gaming. ie gamecube.
4.) Good graphic, excellent game play and some of the best stories line will keep you hooked for hours.
I think overall this will appeal to the more hardcore players, if you where looking for a wii workout type of game, then this is not for you.
