When I was egarly anticipating playing this game, there was a small nagging feeling saying "I hope this version isn't just a better-looking Super Smash Bros.(N64)...

Well, now I know that I had absolutly nothing to worry about! This game takes absolutly everything I loved as a veteran of the old version, great characters, simple controls but a surprisingly large array of moves and combos, and getting to beat the snot out of picachu and jiggalypuf.

Then is has everything i wish it had in the old game, more characters, more levels, a tournament mode, and a more extensive single player mode, and an amazing amount of moves such as mid-air doges, smash B-Moves, and 4 different throws.

And finally it has gone beyond what I hoped it would have! I've got new levels plus some old levels, 2 great single player modes, the great new power-up smash A-Moves ability, the all new trophy collecting(which i think is absolutly awesome, seeing a bunch of my past nintendo favorites), and...oh boy...Now I get to beat the snot out of picachu, jiggallypuf, AND Pichu!!! Its just amazing how nintendo can take such a great game and make is so much better!

A true fighting game!

I first got Super Smash Brothers: Melee (A.K.A SSBM) last year for Christmas. Now I would consider my self a pretty good gamer because most games at best only last three weeks for me such as Resident .... SSBM however, has never collected dust on it yet. It is the best multiplayer fighting game out there.

SSBM is to GameCube like Halo is to X-box and like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is to PS2.

The one player mode took about a month for me to complete and that is including 20 hours of Christmas vacation. There are many secret characters in the end totaling 26. Multiplayer is great. I myself since I had it (11 months) have over 100 hours of multiplayer.
What's great about this game is duking it out with Nintendo characters. If you don't like Pokemon you can choose your computer opponent to be a dumb Pikachu. Or if you want Mario to have a party you can play with Dr.Mario, Mario, Luigi, Princess, Dk, Bowser.
A must have game for GameCube

A feast for the eyes and ears.A masterpiece with one flaw.A+

Wow this game is really addictive and fun if you play the standard melees and not the special ones. The special melees are a waste of time.All you ever want to do is play against 3 other charecters and not stooping to the level of a tiny melee or especially the invisible one.You should only play the standard cause it has the best gameplay.I recommend you play against 3 CPUS because you can choose the difficulty level of the computer characters. Its a blast to see the Nintendo characters beat each other up especially if youre playing as Donkey Kong against 3 Pokemon characters. The standard rocks.

Exceptional Game

This game is just incredible. Instead of the typical button-masher fighting games, this game involves skill. Nintendo characters from all over battle it out. Anybody who plays this game for a few minutes will want to buy. Why dont' you just rent it now? About 15 minutes in, you'll have resolved to buy it..

Now, as for replay value: it is tremendous. First of all, you have to beat Classic Mode and Adventure Mode, first on Very Easy, then Easy, Medium, and Hard. Then try lowering your lives to one and trying them. Then you can play the event mode, with 51 events ranging from easy to incredibly hard. From playing Event, Classic, and Adventure mode, you will eventually gain all of the secret characters, so you have all 25 characters. Then another mode will open up: All-Star Mode. Try beating THAT with every character! Eventually you will get new, secret levels!

If for some reason you can do all of this (I'm not even close, and out of the 30+ people I know, nobody else is close either) you can always try the Stadium Mode, attempt to collect Trophies, or play what is the best part of the game: Versus Mode, fighting against your friends.

This is a wonderful game, but just one piece of advice: Buy one, two, or three extra controllers with this game, so you can bring over friends!

Buy this game now! At only $20, you need to!

best console title... ever?

this is hands down the most fun I've ever had playing a console video game. fun is the key word. this game is fun. I've played literally hundreds of hours of it, and it's still the only game I want to play.

Now, it's not the best console game ever. That spot is reserved for either 1)Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time... or 2)Metroid for the original 8bit. But it comes damn close.

so, if you're considering this game... stop, breathe, and buy it. you won't regret it.

Nintendo's best effort to date. What a rush!

I could go on all day about this game's revolutionary gameplay, sound, graphics and replay value. A true Nintendo fan's dream. A virtual history of Nintendo! This game is GOLD! Do not pass this up! I couldn't wait to get it home.

An excellent sequel to the N64 Smash Hit

Super Smash Bros Melee, the sequel to the hit Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 is a much improved game. Super Smash Bros Melee includes all new, re-done graphics (everything right down to the moustache of Luigi and the fur on Fox's back), many new characters to fight with, and great worlds to battle in.

There are 26 characters (including the hidden ones) from several different Nintendo games. Some of the characters include: Link, Zelda/Sheik, Young Link, and Gannondorf from Zelda. Mario and Luigi form the Mario games, Fox and Falco from Star Fox, Pikachu, Pichu, Samus, Jigglypuff and Mewtwo from Pokèmon, plus several more.

The new worlds from a large variety of Nintendo games, including those form Zelda and Mario are also a great addition. The levels are perfectly done and updated from the N64 game. If you are playing single player there is a great Adventure mode which wasn't on the N64 title. All I can say is this amazing game is AWESOME!

Plain and simple, this is the game you can play with your friends and your 8 year old cousin. Fun and beatings for all ages is pretty much what SSBM is. It's a game that can be shallow or deep, depending on the user. Too bad there is no online play for it though. But gamecubes always behind for that kind of stuff. Just go buy it.

Reason to own a Gamecube

Alright! Now this is why I brought a Gamecube! This is the console action I remember and love! This is a simply, a great game. Super Smash Bros. Melee takes everything I loved about Super Smash Bros. and ups it. It adds new, better, more complex characters. It adds more detailed levels. There's a ton of things to do in Single player. The replay value is through the roof if you love fighting games. This is the best Gamecube game I've played yet.

On the single player side of things, my type of game, SSBM easily stands tall. Trophies are a blast to collect, and extremely well modeled. Any 3d artist will be proud of Nintendo's work. The Event mode is a ton of fun, and challenging enough to keep you trying without making you want to break the controller. The standard game is as you'd expect, standard... but a lot of fun and worth playing though at least once with every character. Multiplayer wise, it's as fun as it's ever been. It can be a blast to get a game going between two good players, and certainly a very entertaining time.

The graphics are incredible. Mario has a more realistic look to him this time, as well as Bowser. Bowser is meaner, bigger, and badder than ever. He claws, he spikes, he spits flame... and shows no mercy. All the characters this time around have surprising complexity to them. Zelda can transform into her alter ego, making for two sets of moves and two sets of attacks. Her motion as her alter self are incredible, the animation is a work of art. She flips, jabs, teleports, and fights with the fluidness of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. All the characters have every trademark move you'd expect. Samus is truly a joy to play as in 3d. Her flips, her blasts, her bombs, even her grapple hook are all just as you'd expect. There's nothing quite like blasting Kirby into the stratosphere with a barrage of attacks from the old days of Metroid. Link is cool as ever as well, his shield, his hookshot, boomerang, bombs, and most importantly sword fighting abilities are all intact. You'll feel just like the old Zelda days again, there's even a battle in event mode against your dark shadow self. I could continue on for quite some time like this, but you'll see when you play.

The levels are extremely detailed and varied. They range from the F-Zero race track of the unforgettable Mute City to a Pokemon Stadium that changes form as the battle progresses. Each is fun, each is jaw dropping gorgeous, but none so much as the Hyrule Temple. Zelda fans will simply adore this map. Another favorite of mine is of course, BrinStar. *drool*

This game is incredibly easy to recommend. I highly suggest it as a buy to fans of Nintendo and/or fighting. If you've got a lot of pals around to VS against, all the better. However, the single player action alone is fun for ages. There's just so much to collect and so many characters to unlock and fight with. If you're not a big Nintendo freak like me, or not sure of it's lasting appeal, give it a rental. If by the end of the rental you're bored, it wasn't worth buying anyway. If not, pick it up. It's a great example of Nintendo through the ages and a showcase title for your Gamecube.

okay, this game is awesome. first off the graphics are great for a 2 year old game. second there is a neverending amount of replay value. you will have to play for endless hours to get everything. i have 25 hours on my file and i have HALF the trophies. its pretty freaky.

Graphics-9/10 these are good graphics for when it came out but it doesnt stand up to some of the newer ones.
Fun-10/10 This game seriously, never gets old
Multiplayer-11/10- this is the best multiplayer i have ever played, period.
Replay-10/10-See above comment.
