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.

Without "dissing" the other great Wii games, (Metroid Prime 3, etc. etc.) SSBB is THE GAME to have if you're going to buy a Wii, or if you already have one. Very simple, pickup & play mechanics. Graphics are top notch. If you consider their online play a concern,(because it is a little wonky & outdated!) don't worry! This game MORE than makes up for it in their gameplay! If you just got into gaming, or an "old schooler", this game has evrything you can remember from the storied past of Nintendo & them some! So pick up this game & hold on tight! You won't regret it!
What's great about it: Awesome! Addictive! Simple & Fun!
What's not so great: NONE! Unless you playing all the time is a con!

A very straight foward, does NOT let you off the ride when it starts monster movie that went for the "Blair Witch Project" take of less is seen to keep you going until the end. If YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE VERY END! (Spoiler Hint!) If you wish you could have a "Godzilla" movie the way it was meant to be made, but without the cheesyness of those movies made, you will love this movie! Also, if you could get past the soap opera sap, you will enjoy it also!
What's great about it: Old fashioned, old school romp & stomp monster movie!
What's not so great: Too fast!!! The "Gilmore Girls", "One Tree Hill" soap opera was a little much.
