    A must-have for anyone with a Wii.

    I got my Wii with a special offer, and it came with Super Smash Bros. Brawl. From the minute I started playing it, I was hooked. Brawl is definitely the best game in the Smash Bros. series, and it towers over Smash Bros. and Melee.

    The animation in the cut scenes was outstanding, it really made the characters come alive. The controls were easy and easy to remember, and the Final Smashes were absolutely amazing! Add the two things above to trophies, stickers, music, and the ability to play old Nintendo games, and you've got yourself a winner! I enjoyed the story mode, and liked the fact that Brawl is the first Smash Bros. to have a full solo story mode.

    I loved the WiFi, brawling with people that don't even live in the same time zone as me was really fun. If a fourth Smash Bros. is released, it will be hard to beat Brawl in greatness and pretty much everything.

    If you have a Wii, Brawl is an absolute MUST-HAVE!!! It is probably the best fighting game out there, and it is definitely fun when there are four people brawling.

    Super Smash Bros. Brawl is probably the best Nintendo game so far.

    Score: 10/10

    This game is smashingly fun

    This is a really really fun game, I have so many fun memories going over to my friends house just playing this game for hours. The action is really good and the story mode (subspace emissary) is in my opinion the best story mode throughout out the smash bros series (including super smash bros ultimate).

    Makes the other 2 games look like Superman 64

    Super Smash Bros Brawl is the best Super Smash Bros game in the series. It has pretty much an endless amount of unlock-ables, and is fun overall. You can fight in tons of arenas, such as a take on the original Donkey Kong, Sonic The Hedgehog's Green Hill Zone, and many others. Some characters include Donkey Kong, Wario, Lucario, Bowser, Solid Snake, R.O.B., and Sonic. Unlike the other Super Smash Bros games, there is an extra powerful attack you can unlock that varies for each character called Final Smash, relating to the characters' original games, which make game-play even more exciting and fun. Therefore,I guarantee that you will be hooked for months trying to unlock all the characters, stages, and everything else that can be unlocked.

    If you are not reading about this game, you should be playing this game

    40+ Stages, 35 Characters, 500+ Trophies, 100+ stickers, 20+ hours of single-player gameplay, 30+ different ways of brawling with friends, 200+ songs in Brawl, Build-a-Stage Mode.......

    How. Much. More. Do. You. Want? Brawl stands as the best in fighting games, party games, and among the best in Nintendo games. Game of the Year is shining on this gem, and the more improved Nintendo is on online capabilities, the better off we all shall be. Nintendo far from half-assed this incredible delight, we definitely get our money's worth purchasing this game. If you own a Wii, you need Brawl in your life. There aren't enough words to express just how much fun this game is, even if we get shortcomings because of what the competitors have to offer in terms of the internet. However, its free, and its not that bad, and it's the beginning of something good involving Nintendo and Wi-Fi. In the meantime, find some friends, and prepare for the time of your life. Super Smash Brothers Brawl: Not just a game you should own, but THE game to own; if there is one game you should buy in 2008, its this one. You can thank me later.

    Presentation: The past, present, and potential future of Nintendo join together to fight evil, and then each other. Epic soundtrack, epic feel, and has the most polished feel since Super Mario Galaxy (10/10)

    Graphics: While it looks a lot like Melee, the cutscenes, and jaw-dropping background prove that they poured their hearts into making this game look pretty. The framerate refuses to drop unless you go online (8.8/10)

    Sound: Perhaps the best soundtrack in gaming history, the 200+ songs compliment the insane amount of sound effects that do nothing more but enhance the Brawling experience. (10/10)

    Gameplay: It plays like Melee, but that's not an issue, especially when the cheap moves are limited and the clones are beginning to gather a personality. There's too much to do, and its all so much fun (9.8/10)

    Lasting Appeal: Where do I begin? I shouldn't, because as long as you enjoy the fighting style of this game, it will remain embedded in your Nintendo Wii for years to come. Must purchase immediately (10/10)

    Final Score: 9.8/10, rounding up to 10/10

    The best game ever for the Wii

    This games has 36 characters and more fun. This game is one of my games that i like to play. I started playing this when i was 6 or 7 years old and it was fun with all the experience and bosses. The games has Sonic,Snake and more characters i like to play as It's fun because of the Suspace Emissary and the boss battles that will appear after you've played Suspace Emissary.

    So this game i rated 10 stars or 9 stars on the main page to this game. This game should be a No. 1 game on the MTV'S Game Awards of 2008. So after this game came we had the series an the others. Best game ever

      This is the first time that third-party characters have been used in the Smash Bros. Series, meaning the first time they have added in characters not from Nintendo. These characters are Sonic the Hedgehog from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series and Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.

      In The Subspace Emissary, when all the bombs are active in the island of ancients, the countdowns stay at the same number and don't count down.
    • Quotes

      Otacon: Snake, what is it?

      Solid Snake: Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way...

      Otacon: Oh, you mean Sonic the Hedgehog? But everyone loves Sonic. He's a big star. Do you have any idea how excited people are that he's here in Brawl?

      Solid Snake: Yeah, yeah, I know, but there's something about him I just don't like.

      Otacon: But why? You must have some kind of reason.

      Solid Snake: Nope, just don't like him.
