 Great addition to the series July 30, 2008

I've owned Smash Bros. Melee for Gamecube for sometime and was really looking forward the sequel. Being able to use the Gamecube controller with all the original mappings is great and makes the transition to the Wii version so much smoother. Gameplay is just as good, if not better than Melee.
As for characters, there's a lot of returning ones which all have their memorable moves, some of which have been slightly modified probably mostly for balancing of characters. However, there's just as many new ones, almost twice as many characters are in Brawl total than were available in Melee. There's also a ton of variety in the characters you can choose from, which makes playing the game all the more fun since different characters have different strengths and weaknesses.
There's also a lot of new levels as well as the return of some of the Melee levels. Also, there's the ability to create your own levels, which I haven't taken advantage of yet, but seems like a great feature.
The Single Player mode, Subspace Emmisary is amazing. Definitely challenging at times and a lot of fun. You can even play this mode with two players which makes it all the more enjoyable.
In short, it's very similar to Melee and if you like that one, you'll love this one. Better graphics, more players, better single player, just all around a better game. Simple, yet tons of fun.
 Not my style... maybe for you? July 29, 2008

I'm not big into fighting/versus type games. This is right up that alley. I was expecting something with a bit more depth, but it's very basic. It was fun to play as all the different characters, but that was about the extent of the enjoyment for me. I plan to sell my copy.
Best Game Ever! July 29, 2008

For those of you who say there are no good fighting games on the Wii, just check out SSBB. The environments are immersive and the gameplay is top notch. Online play makes it even better and replay value is superb! Very highly recommended!
 Expansive game, tons of modes, online could be better. July 28, 2008
This game is one without peer on the Wii system, definitely the most thought out, comprehensive, and time-less games available. The huge collection of mini-games, event battles, and the subspace emissary mode (akin to a platformer in the style of the original Mario Bros) make this game one that has tons of replay-ability and lots to explore. Having tons of in-game trophies and stickers to collect increases the fun. There are a lot of nice little touches in the game, like making the credits themselves a mini-game in the Classic mode.
The graphics really show off the Wii well, the control schematics are well thought out and the customization with different playing configurations is OUTSTANDING, allowing legacy controllers, nunchaku-users, or the Wiimote by itself to be used with decent accuracy and great flexibility.
The only part I was disappointed by was the Nintedo Wi-Fi Connection system. The connection was often slow and required quite a bit of waiting before players could be totally connected and Brawl. Also, there didn't seem to be any way to adjust game parameters in the Quick Brawl mode, meaning you're stuck playing the standard 2-minute brawl. While creating a room with a friend is a nice ability, there doesn't seem to be any way to connect or join other rooms out there. There also isn't any system in place (like a ladder or leaderboard) that can help people match up with players of a similar level. All in all, the online portion of this game feels like it's tacked on and almost an afterthought, with the features released without the final polish it deserves.
Granted, the game itself is already a stellar game. It is a great party game and very fun to play with friends. I just wished it was better for those times when friends aren't in the same room / location. Thus, due to the lack of polish in the online portion, I'm forced to downgrade the overall rating to a 4.
loose control July 28, 2008

I don't like the game.
The control is loose. It's hard for me to make the character do what I want. I guess I'm more used to fighting games like tekken and soul caliber. It was fun for a bit, but it's hard to keep track of what's going on and the loose control just made me angry. traded it in after a couple of weeks.
gave it 3 stars for the sheer number of stuffs to unlock.
