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.

This game is excellent. The adventure mode is a perfect way to unlock characters. The game graphics are significantly improved from Melee. The characters additions are very nice, they even included some of the best Melee stages as well as only dropping a few Melee characters. Very balanced. I've had this for about a week and there are sections of the game I have not even touched. The online play works well and there is little to no lag. You can even make custom stages and share them with friends. If your looking to buy a good Nintendo title, this is definitely the one you want.
What's great about it: Lots to do, very nice characters, fun and fast paced, well done, good graphics, never gets tiresome
