 Competition November 17, 2009
T. Fisher (Virginia, USA)
I love this game, although I knew I did before buying it. Shipping was quick enough, even in choosing the free slower shipping. Super smash bros. Brawl & Melee both have incredible competitive scenes. I would say Melee is more difficult to play as efficiently, but it's all about playing what you like. The depth of this game is much deeper than it's first impression, once you learn more about the mechanics that run it.
I'd recommend it to someone who's looking for a not so traditional fighter to get competitive with. There are typically tournaments within a few hours of many locations every few weekends, at least, it seems.
 A huge disappointment. November 15, 2009
J. Sudomerski
For people looking for some fun to kill a month or two, this is the game. But if you have been a fan of the series since the late 1990s, you're bound to regret the purchase.
Short and sweet, it is an overrated, overly-hyped title. It reworked many of the great elements of the previous two games, and deleted a lot more. To compensate, it dresses itself in hours of unlockable content (most of which is not worth the time and energy), a horrible 1-P adventure mode, and a highly uninspired fighting roster (not to mention some characters were made stronger than others, such the director's own creations!).
A terrible, terrible disappointment. The only highlights are some of the fighters being interesting, and probably the best music and textures you'll see on the Wii.
Outside of that, if you are more a fan of gameplay over pretty colors, this is NOT your title.
 Still playing today November 13, 2009
James Mccollum (VA, USA)
I picked up my preordered copy the night it was released in North America, and my friends and I still gather into my dorm room to play it. Dozens of people have joined our core group to play, and we're still experimenting with characters, and countering each other's newest strategies. If you've been a fan of the series, you'll enjoy this title as well. If this is your first step into the smash brothers series, I'd recommend treating it as a multiplayer experience, and not a single player one.
Pros:
The most fun, addictive multiplayer game I've ever played. This fighting game can be customized to become as chaotic as possible, or as controlled as possible to fit the preferences of whoever is playing.
Great graphics and sound. Nintendo touches on all of its classics by including characters and stages from plenty of recent and old titles alike. The inclusion of Snake as a playable character was a little strange, but we've come to appreciate the fact that he plays differently from all of the other characters on the roster.
In a move my friends and I are very thankful for, you can use just about any controller to play this title - gamecube controllers, a Wiimote, a Wiimote/Nunchuck combination, or the classic controller attachment. This has saved our group of around 10 people a lot of trouble and frustration in using control schemes we wouldn't have liked/wouldn't have had the money to purchase.
Very customizable game modes, and the level editor adds even more replayability to a title that will likely only lose our interest when the next game in the series is released.
Cons:
I can see why some people would not enjoy this product as a single player experience. The "campaign" mode was an interesting idea, but putting characters that are focused on a fighting game's controls into a platforming environment just doesn't do well gameplay wise. The campaign has some nicely done pre-rendered cutscenes, but the gameplay is often frustrating and repetitive, with some levels killing the player simply because some pits are deaths, while others are actually the proper route to take.
I was glad Nintendo included the ability to play online with the title, but the online experience has been sub-par every time I've attempted it, with only one or two games providing a responsive experience. I imagine it will only get worse as the number of players dwindles over time. Don't bet on the online experience to provide your multiplayer fix, you'll need some people in the same room. Online play is also very strict in game modes, and not many settings can be changed unless you're using Nintendo's poorly implemented "Friend Code" system. You must exchange codes through some other medium than the game itself, because Nintendo has chosen to prevent players from communicating with each other in any meaningful way, making it impossible to find someone again if they provided a fun match or a decent challenge.
Great Fun October 29, 2009

This game is great fun from day 1. The character line up is simply amazing (sorry no playable mewtwo). From the beginning the game gets you hooked.
Story Campaign
The story mode, even though there are no voices, leads you into the game and really gives you a since of whats happening. Its very well done, very in depth and pretty long. There are missions lives etc it runs like a regular game where you get to pick your character and how you play. Running through the story allows you to unlock every character in a much faster way than running the normal 20-100 wins. 4/5
Challenges
The challenge game is pretty fun it allows you do to things like smash the targets play baseball etc. This is fun to play and gives you the challenges that allow you to unlock more trophies and secret items. 3/5 (It is a challenge hint the name)
Story Brawl
This is the normal battle a predetermined set of characters and win till you fight the giant hand. Classic smash brothers game. Battle with any character see if you can make it to the top without loosing all your lives and how fast you can do it. Has high replay value and some of the trophies require you do it with every character. 3/5
Brawl
Now this is the big one. Fight it out with 4 ppl cpu or players and just go all out in either a top killer, last man standing, or mvp mode. This one lets you choose where you fight from many many maps some new some old. You get powerups unlock new maps from playing old ones a certain number of times. New songs are unlocked, and you get to claim your right as the Smash Brothers Champ among your friends. 5/5
Overall 4/5 stars Great game worth the price many hours of gameplay and many opportunites for replay value and competition among kids and friends.
Awesome - better than tha last version October 26, 2009
D. J. Nardi (Washington, DC)
Hours and hours of fun. The combat moves are fun, stages visually entertaining, and graphics pretty good. It's like the Gamecube version, but with better graphics and more characters and stages.The one-player is pretty engrossing as well.
Note: This game doesn't make too much use of the Wii remote, but then again that's probably for the best.
