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.

I've played every Smash Bros. that comes out and it never fails to be just as fun as the previous, if not more. The story mode on this one is so long it kept me playing for days. My friends come over and help on the new story mode, which is a huge plus, it makes it even MORE fun. I just really like this game. I play it online against my friends from my hometown and everything. I don't see anyone not liking this game. It's really that fun. The only thing that bothered me was the handling of the wiimote/nunchuck because I was so used to old games, but that doesn't matter because I can hook up my gamecube controller. So no complaints here. :)))
What's great about it: Original story mode and the new one; very fun, a lot of characters, play online against friends, all ages fun. :)
What's not so great: Wiimote/Nunchuck controlling annoying if you're used to N64/Gamecube.
