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.

While the Best Buy information section says that this game is only going to be one player, it is obviously wrong...even the Nintendo website says that it is for up to 4 players. DO NOT let this misinformation from Best Buy deter you from buying this game! If it is anything like Super Smash Bros. Melee, you will still be playing this game when the next one comes out! I have been playing Melee pretty much everyday and I'm still not tirede of it!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Well, I haven't played it yet, but I own the two previous games and there are none in them!
