this game ranks 1st in my top ten of best games ever!
by JoshimitsuJ20 on July 6, 2008
Pros: it is acssessable to all ages and is very user-friendly, it allows you to make stages unlike previous 'smash bros' games, you can also pick your favourite characters from most games,
Cons: it looks good, but doesnt compare to some games on the XBOX and PS3, up the ante next time Nintendo!
Summary: This is literally the best game i have ever played, the graphics are the best on the Wii i, have fun whenever i play it, and the host of unlockables ...
Summary: This is literally the best game i have ever played, the graphics are the best on the Wii i, have fun whenever i play it, and the host of unlockables is unparalled, whether you bought the game just because its a immense ninty love-in, or a smorgasbord of unlockables makes no difference, this is a great game and deserves game of the year, this is the one game that truly deserves your attention

The Best Fighting Game Deserves a Better Score than an 8.9?
by Cyborganizer on April 19, 2008
Pros: The Game Play is the best.
Cons: Online gaming is sub par.

Summary: This is the best fighting game ever made. It is a huge improvement over any other fighting game. Unlike most fighting games in which the purpose is only to reduce health to 0, Smash Brothers is a little more complex. The purpose to knock your opponent off of the stage. In all other fighting games I can just press a few buttons to defeat anybody. However, the Smash Brothers series requires different techniques. Just adding percent damage does nothing for you, you have to knock your opponent off of the cliff and keep him/her off. I have seen opponents eliminated with only slight damage because his/her opponent was able to keep him/her from recovering. I also like the different items in the game. I often play with all items on and on medium settings, but all settings are adjustable. You can turn any item on or off and change the settings between low-high. The gameplay is near perfect.
My only complaint is with the online gaming.
1. Why am I only allowed to enter 64 friend codes???!!!
2. Why am I not allowed to change settings in an Anyone match?
3. Why am I not allowed to talk or see the names of my opponents in anyone matches?
4. Why no voice chat? (This is my personal opinion. Some gamers like not having voice chat, but I want it.)
5. Why do Anyone matches have so much lag, but friend matches are almost lag free?
6. I HATE FRIEND CODES!
Finally, the EA game Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 has a great online gaming feature. It allows players to see the names of their opponents, nearly lag free, and no friend codes. I can see a huge list of every game available, see who is in that game and decide if I want to enter it. Why does Brawl not let me do that?
Overall I think this game deserves about a 9.3-9.5. I will give it a 10 to balance out the 8.9 average.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Absolutely Fantastic Game! Worth the wait!
by juniormoua on March 10, 2008
Pros: Game is built solid, gameplay is fun, and everything is just "Wow!"
Cons: Story Mode 2 Player could have used split screen :o)
Summary: Okay, first off, I really don't know why Xombie11 rated this a 6/10, when he hasn't tried everything out. The characters were built very well overall. You ...
Summary: Okay, first off, I really don't know why Xombie11 rated this a 6/10, when he hasn't tried everything out. The characters were built very well overall. You can't just jump into Brawl mode, which I believe is what Xombie11 did. There's 35 characters to unlock!
I'm a BIG and HUGE fan of games, especially when it comes to Smash Bros. The other Smash Bros. hit was pretty good, but NOT the best. I've rated the old ones like SBM (Smash Bros Melee) 8/10. This version I have to admit I rate it a 10/10.
Story Mode is where you can unlock most of these characters, but that's really not the benefit of Story/Adventure Mode... the story mode generally helps you go through EACH AND EVERYONE of the characters, giving you the necessary guidance you need to learn how to play each character's roles. They are not just "meh" like Xombie11 states it. The Story mode made me felt like I was playing ALL of the games from Mario to Metal Gear, ALL combined into one game!
The Brawl part is great! There's NEW things brought into the game itself such as special moves and powers... the new power up items are totally rocking down the house! Each character's moves also make this game INTENSE and full of entertainment!
Aside from the whole thing, the great Plus to this game is the wifi with others. It's amazing how some people pull off such moves I can't even do yet! I've spent 8 hours playing it in one day, and my gawd, I hardly EVER do that!
This is a plus and a keeper!Updated

PS- Another addition to this Wii version is the ability to create your own stages! It's a great tool and very fun to battle it out on friends who create their own unique stages!1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

One of the best multiplayer fighting games of all time
by The_Penguin_Man on November 29, 2009
Pros: Superb visuals and audio. 35 character - all of them are balanced. Supports multiple controller options. 4-player multiplayer with a multitude of options. Smooth friend-to-friend online play.
Cons: Single player campaign mode (Subspace Emissary) is average at best and forces the player to grind all previous levels near the end.

Near Perfect-But could be EVER so slightly better.
by Cooldude9210 on January 3, 2009
Pros: Great controls; Perfect gameplay; Engaging storyline; multitude of play modes.
Cons: Gameplay can get a little hectic and you can lose your place easily. Also, online can sometimes lag or be empty, with no one playing.
Summary: This game was revolutionary when it first came out. Now, two games later, it continues that revolution, with two new 3rd party characters, a storyline that's considerable, and a ...
Summary: This game was revolutionary when it first came out. Now, two games later, it continues that revolution, with two new 3rd party characters, a storyline that's considerable, and a single player that is almost as good a game on it's own. The gameplay CAN get a little hectic at times, but that's the fun of it. The game boasts online play, but only once out of the four times I've played has it actually connected me with someone else. Overall, I think this game should be in every wii library on the face of the earth.

Specifications
- Manufacturer: Nintendo
- Part number: 90039
- Description: Welcome to a brawl for the ages, where anything can happen, anyone can show up and all bets are off. In multiplayer games, characters from all Nintendo universes meet up in Nintendo locales to duke it out. In the solo mode called "The Subspace Emissary," the world of Smash Bros. is invaded by an entity called the Ancient Minister and his army of creatures, called "The Primid." Normally, characters come alive in the world of Smash Bros. to do battle, then turn back into trophies when defeated. However, the Ancient Minister starts turning characters into trophies to harness their power, then detonates bombs that suck pieces of the world back into his realm of Subspace. Eventually, all the characters must work together to defeat the invading creatures from Subspace - this is accomplished by playing through side-scrolling levels.
