I love the game. It has great depth. I love the verity of characters. Not only are the fights great in multiplayer but also in solo mode. The campaign is great. I love playing online with friends.

The game is oh so fun when played with 3-4 players. It is also possible to take turns and play a championship of up to 42 players, we have yet to find 30-40 people, but it would be great for a large social event. The moves are much easier to handle with both hands using the nunchuck and the wii mote. The new adventure mode is cute and has a story to it, unlike the classic fight each character mode. I love all the new characters and some of the new improved moves. I still believe though that N64 smash brothers was much more successful for its time period. I wish they could have done more.

The new Smash Bros. Brawl game is excellent. If you like straight up fun and action by yourself or with friends, you should get this game. It's by far the best one out of the three Smash Bros series, and every character is well-balanced. It includes most of the old characters from the previous games, and as well as some new characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Snake (from Metal Gear Solid), Wario, and many more! The controls are exactly the same as Smash Bros Melee, so you won't have to learn anything new, but they have added in other features as well. Each character has a "final smash" , which is pretty much a super move. You can plug in game cube controllers to play, and also play with the WiiMote + Nunchuk, or just the Wiimote itself. The online play is fun, but it's a little laggy. It's free though, so you can't really complain. Even if you're playing alone, there's many single player modes and events that will keep you busy. They allow co-op mode for all of the single player events/modes as well, so if a friend wants to jump in during your adventure-mode, they can. Overall, this game is probably my best purchase out of all the games, because it hardly ever gets boring.
What's great about it: Balanced, new characters, new features (final smash), online play (with friend or strangers), variety of controls
What's not so great: online play has some lag/delay, but that's about it

The game is all around great, but there is one major thing that keeps this from hitting five stars. The controls are very difficult to understand using the Wiimote. It took us about a week of constant button mashing to figure out what does what. The instruction manual wasn't really of any use either. On the plus side, it's fun, challenging, and entertaining for large groups of people (after you TRY and explain the controls to them)
What's great about it: graphics, old school game-ish, fun for parties
What's not so great: controls are hard to learn using Wii Remote

This is a legitimately great game that I would reccomend to anyone. Its the first Super Smash Bros. to have a really excellent 1 Player mode. It is very neat to watch all the characters really interact in a story. My online experience with it has been laggy, but I haven't played with it much since its release. Of course it has great multiplayer, it is a Super Smash Bros. game.
What's great about it: Great 1 player for the first time ever

I would definitely recommend this game to all ages. A great way to past the time and enjoy some good quality time. It is worth the money and great game with the new console the WII!
What's great about it: It has many other great characters and as well as some of the classic ones. Enjoyable for the whole family.
What's not so great: Can't seem to think of any because it is one of the greatest multi-player games out there!

The third game in Nintendo's vaunted Smash Bros. series, Brawl brings to the Wii exactly what it did in its first two iterations: fast, frenized, fun gameplay that can last for hours on end. My friends and I have literally spent hours upon hours continuously brawling. With 35 characters (21 initially available) and 41 different stages (not to mention the fact that you can make your own stages!), the gameplay options are virtually limitless. There are countless modes of play, and it's enough to keep even a single player busy for weeks, if not months, on end (see how long it takes you to beat boss battle mode on intense difficulty!)
Unfortunately, the game isn't perfect. The online mode is extremely laggy and slow, and doesn't add to the experience as most players would have hoped. Also, the single player adventure mode, called the Subspace Emissary, is extremely repetitive and long. In short, it's not very fun to play, but you need to play it to beat all of the challenges. All in all, though, these really are minor complaints, as the rest of the game shines enough that it more than makes up for its small shortcomings. If you own a Wii, you should own this game. Period.
What's great about it: Amazing multi-player, enough content to keep you busy for weeks (even by yourself)
What's not so great: Online is extremely laggy, Subspace Emissary is repetitive and not much fun
