 Very disappointed! March 12, 2008
16 out of 99 found this review helpful
I love the innovative controller for the Wii. I loved Zelda and Mario Galaxy, but this game doesn't even take advantage of the controller! I'm so used to swinging the control to swing Link's sword, and now it's back to pressing buttons the old school way.
If I wanted to play a game with my gamecube controllers, I still have Smash Brothers Melee. It's faster too, and not many improvements were made to the Wii version. Major disappointment!
 Very good game but roster feels a bit empty March 12, 2008

I give this game 4.9 stars. It is a very fun game with the co-op for almost every game mode and new characters as well as the old ones. I guess I was expecting a little more characters. I recommend this game for anyone who has a wii.
 Nintendo Delivers What Nintendo Delivers Best March 12, 2008

My best friend was coming in to town, so I bought this game just before he arrived. We both lost a ton of sleep and I was barely productive the next day.
This game is what a lot of games for both GameCube and Wii have been: Social party games good for a couple of hours at a time. And that Nintendo delivers masterfully in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The quick games, lots of options, and ease of gameplay pickup make it a great game for when you've got a group of people over.
People expecting a hardcore gaming experience, and/or people without any friends, should not buy this product.
 Solid title, but not the masterpiece it's been made out to be March 12, 2008

Let me preface this by saying that I like "Smash Brothers." I don't love it, but the multiplayer goodness makes this one better than it otherwise would have been.
The Good:
1) I love the graphics in this. I mean, they are solid stuff. The attention is evident in every phase of the game, from the delightfully detailed main characters to the excellent backdrops. This is a joy to behold.
2) The mechanics you know and love are back, which makes for some excellent multiplayer madness. It remains very easy to pull off big moves, and with the handicapping, you can get balanced gaming every time. I really like the "final smashes" - while not necessary, it is incredibly satisfying to pummel your cohorts by throwing them in a giant pot and cooking them.
3) I really enjoyed the timeline and masterpiece sections. Of course, giving people trials of all the old NES and SNES games is just cheap advertising, but that's fine with me. I can't wait to get "Super Metroid" from the Wii shop channel.
4) Trophy collecting is back, and I love it. Moreover, you can now collect stickers as well. Finally, you collect either of them by blasting them in a silly asteroids-like shooter. Good stuff.
The bad:
1) Subspace emissary stinks. I had high hopes for this after hearing the hype, but it is vastly inferior to the adventure mode in "Melee". Why, you ask? Because it's just as pointless, but now takes an incredibly long time. Very unenjoyable, IMHO.
2) Control. The Wii has one of the most innovative controllers out there, and a game of this magnitude should utilize it to the fullest, right? Right?!? Wrong. In fact, this game is actually easier to play with the old GC controllers than the Wii nunchuk. I'm stunned that the developers didn't make an effort to incorporate the Wii goodness into the game. Well, stunned and disappointed. What a letdown.
3) What is all this "friend code" stuff? Do people really like this? Not me (although i do think that the Wifi has been underrated in these reviews - I like it a lot).
4) I agree with an early reviewer that there is something very fishy about Nintendo's insistence that the game read errors are the product of a "soiled lens". In any case, lenses get soiled. It shouldn't cause fatal errors in reading software. Thumbs down to Nintendo, who usually builds the most reliable product out there.
In short, this is not the game it could have been, which is a surprise, considering the number of delays in its production. I think it is an unfair criticism for the game that it hasn't changed the formula in all these years - if I wanted "Final Fantasy," I wouldn't buy "Smash". However, it is perfectly legitimate to ask why the gameplay hasn't improved since the original "Smash Brothers" for the N64 (which still remains my favorite of the bunch). As far as Wii games go, this one falls well short of the standard set my "Mario Galaxy" and "Metroid Prime 3". It's still fun, but it just isn't the game it could have been.
Addendum: Let's not forget
The ugly:
1) Reviewers who insist that any criticism of a Wii game is obviously an attempt by PS3 "fanboys" to subvert the Wii. If your life worth depends on someone liking or disliking a game you purchased, you should get out more.

This game really is very awesome. I have yet to play online against someone. The servers that host this game as bogged down big time. This is my only complaint. Hurry and fix this issue Nintendo!
