They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

Living in Japan for school is one thing but for Super Smash Brothers Brawl is another motive altogether. Despite the game presented in another language, the game functions outstandingly well in responsiveness and control. Of course that control can only come from the gamecube or classic controller, the Wiimote simply cannot acheive the precisivness the original controllers contain. Besides, if you are on a more advanced level then you don't want to waste time shaking the controller for a specific move only to deliver another. Anyway, the game is a definate upgrade to the beloved melee and players at all levels will enjoy every twist and turn the game offers!
What's great about it: Online multiplayer, Sonic the Hedgehog
