 Hard to improve upon perfection, but Brawl does it March 10, 2008

Firstly, I want to say this isn't an in depth review because I just wanted to rate this game its well deserved 5 stars, and I don't think you can do that unless you write something nowadays :Pbr /br /The game is just as fun as Melee, and there has been a lot added to it which makes the experience even better (Wifi, more characters, stages, stage building, extended Adventure mode now hours instead of minutes long...etc).br /br /Any fan of fighting action should enjoy this game - it is the type of game that warrants being called "a system seller." The fighting in Brawl is most unique in that there are several crazy items and pokeballs that make the experience quite beautifully chaotic.
AWSOME!!!! March 10, 2008

Best game for WII yet, will be one of the top wii games for years. Pay no attention to those who gave it a negative review, they are probably not big fans of the game.
Lived up to the hype.. March 10, 2008

Sure, its nothing revolutionary... but neither is Halo 3. It just takes a simple concept and makes it the best it can be. Tons of characters, very well rounded, almost unlimited replayability due to wifi and level maker, and actually a decent 1-player mode. Simply the best.
 Nice but a let down March 10, 2008

I like Smash Bros, but if you've played one you've played them all. Again they have made some big mistakes with the game and there are things still not fixed.br /br /Firstly I will say that I'm glad it's 16:9. This is not a small screen game by far. I like being able to play on a big screen. However the graphics aren't really much improved. The character models are nicer but the stages and everything look, well, the same. Some stages look much nicer than others.br /br /The biggest complaint I had about this game was the CPU. It has always been vastly superior to any player. No matter how good you are at this game, the CPU will wipe the floor with you on any difficulty but easy. Even on easy playing against 3 CPU characters can prove to be very difficult. Since in adventure mode you are required to play against the CPU, some parts can be quite annoying in their difficulty level.br /br /The next biggest complaint is the disc. This gets a big "wow what a screw up" from me. First off it sounds like the Wii is bludgeoning my disc constantly. If a robot felt pain this is probably what it would sound like. It's like a constant scream of agony coming from the disc drive. Some matches, and I've timed it, it says "Ready, GO"... then you wait 9 seconds so the disc can load the characters you're supposed to be fighting. In fact in events where you fight 8 characters... if you knock out the two characters on the screen at once you'll have to wait about 5 seconds for the next one to show up because the disc is so painfully slow. Just trying to start a match you can hear it. The worst is playing adventure mode. The videos are laggy and take a bit before they play. Once they are done you have to wait a bit before the level starts. It's actually quite annoying on levels with a lot of cut scenes. It almost feels like I'm playing PSP.br /br /Now for wifi. It didn't even work when I bought the game, but at least it works now. However, any fun had by the game is cut by other people's lack of skill. I know this by the fact that every match I've played, people use cheap characters and they use the same moves over and over. Sad thing is, they can easily beat you like this. So any fun that could be had online is killed by the incredible unbalance of the characters. I can not yet say I've lost to someone good, no I've lost to people who are cheap.br /br /The major failure of this game is its lack of progress over the years. As fun as it is, the gameplay has never been tweaked. Though this might be a good thing to some it comes across to most of us as old and stiff. The only real new element is the smash ball. Otherwise, everything is the same as the gamecube version. I'm just glad wifi actually works.
 Most overrated videogame in the history of videogames. March 10, 2008

Dont get me wrong the game is silly fun with some friends over but all these perfect scores are a riot. After playing for a few hours I was wondering if I was playing the same game everyone else is but then again if I was judging this on whats available on the Wii I guess this is as good as it gets. I guess I just dont get it.
