If you're buying a Gamecube, I would definitely suggest getting this game. The visuals are crisp and the audio is well done. I love the orchestral renditions of the old Nintendo themes during the battles. While playing the mutiplayer option, you have the ability to change any of the settings to your liking. There are 25 characters to pick from and about 20 arenas to fight in. Other options include a 1-player mode that resembles the vertical scrolling style from past generations; a lottery to collect and view trophies; and finally, a few minigames to round out the package. Playing for several hours opens up different unlockables that can be aquired in several areas. This is a first class and polished game from Nintendo.

Excellent Game Altogether

When I bought my Game Cube, the first game I bought was Super Smash Melee. I loved the original game for the N64 and I heard many positive reviews. The game is altogether quite excellent and fun. You choose between 25 classic characters (11 must be unlocked) to fight in melee battles. After practice and experience you generally get better. Although the fighting is in 2 dimension, it is very challenging and fun. You use techiques such as jumping VERY high, kicking, attacking, shooting, etc. It can be very addictive.

The game is very fun for multi-players. You have the option for fighting each other or fighting computer players of various difficulties. There are things to do for 1-player as well. There is a "classic mode" to fight different opponents until you get to the "Master Hand." Also there is "Event Matches" where you are faced with different challenges, such as beating 128 Marios. (Some can be very difficult) There is also an adventure mode, where you go through various stages such as the Mario Kingdom and Hyrule Temple. It can get boring after awhile though. There is also All-Star, Melee Men Challenges, Target Test, Home Run Contests, and Tournament Melee. Alot of stuff to do.

It is much better than the first, with the C-Stick controls, and more characters and funner moves. Plus the addition of more stages, adventure and all-star mode. If you have a Game Cube, I would certainetly reccomend this game.

My favorite Gamecube game

Out of all the Gamecube games I have, the one I can always play and the one I play the most is Super Smash Bros Melee. This is one of those games that is great to get out when friends come over. Once I start playing against somebody else thats good, its hard to stop. Its easy to spend hours playing several rounds trying to discover new ways to defeat your enemies. Overall, if you have a Gamecube and still don't have this game, you really owe it to yourself to pick this up.

Smash Out Amazing!!!

It arguably is so amazing how people really dig those one vs. one fighting games. Arguably, they've remained just as controversial and as much fun since back in the late 80's. Arguably for Nintendo they adequately did find a way to cash in on the fun with a one vs. one combat game for the N64 called Super Smash Brothers. Arguably, the game was fair but easily boring for one player, where if you were playing with somebody else, it would increase in the game of life. Well, Nintendo had to really consider improving the game to make it better for the Gamecube back in 2001. Well, they did and it is fiercer than ever.

Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube is a unique one vs. one combat game that like before, putting regulars and favorites from Nintendo past and present against each other in a battle of the best with returning favorites like Mario, Link from The Legend Of Zelda, and Kirby to name a few. The game also adds a little more fire with additions like the vile Bowser, the sweet and cute Yoshi, Metroid, and Peach just to name a few. The game does thrill a little more with more arenas and zones like Mute City from the F-Zero franchise, the innocent woods from Kirby's Dream Land, and others just to tell a bit. The games graphics are delightful, and it is easy to manuever. Still, it does take awhile for some of the more advanced moves to get used to, but they are simple to fight with.

While many fighting games have come and gone for other systems, Nintendo has remained constant for the Gamecube with the Super Smash Brothers Melee. This has been a pure delight for Gamecube owners, and is sure to be a must have for anybody who loves combat games. If you don't have a Gamecube and want this game, go out and purchase the recent Nintendo Gamecube bundle pack which has Super Smash Brothers Melee.

Although it contains "violence", the characters are all from video games and are animated. Another feature is that all 4 kids can play together!

Super Smash Bros. Melee is an exciting, fun-filled game, with too many features and modes to count. In this games, you can play as all of your favorite Nintendo characters, and never get tired of it!

Characters available from the start:

~Mario
~Bowser
~Peach
~Yoshi
~Link
~Zelda
~Donkey Kong
~Ice Climbers
~Pikachu
~Captain Falcon
~Fox McCloud
~Kirby
~Samus Aran
~Ness

Characters to be unlocked:

~Dr. Mario
~Luigi
~Ganondorf
~Young Link
~Marth
~Roy
~Falco Lambardi
~Mr. Game and Watch
~Jiggilypuff
~Pichu
~Mewtwo

You can also use many unigue stages from every character's setting, and unlock many more.

The Multiplayer mode never gets boring, partially because of the many different ways you can play. Single player mode is a little bit more boring, I must admit, but it's still ok. Every characters has standard attacking moves, along with many kinds of special moves and abilities.

You can also get trophies for special acheivements, in adventure mode, and you can win a trophy with the coins you earn each match.

Also, almost everything you do is recorded, from the number of V.S. mode matches you've played, to the awards you've received for doing special things during any match at all (i.e. never falling down, striking first, using many pokeballs, etc.).

Speaking of Pokeballs, there are also a million of different weapons and power-ups that can be used, from shooting weapons, to bombs, to wands, you can spot many different items used in games featuring the characters.

Gameplay - 9/10 (its really great)
Graphics - 10/10 (beautiful)
Audio - 10/10 (original, not annoying)
Value - 9/10 (play multiplayer for hours, but you may need to take vacations from it)
Tilt - 10/10
I would have given this game a five out of five, but thats a tough call to make, so I'll tune it down a little and make it a four (because i can't put 4.5)

~~~I hope you buy this game, because it never gets boring or too easy or too hard, and it's should be on the top of everyone's wish list!

Ordered this game with GameCube and 2 extra controllers - the game(and memory) arrived days later . The GameCube weeks later (and the controllers are still not here). We played the game on several friends GameCubes and saved it on our memory card. Love this game!

okay, let's start with the pros. It's really fun and worth every penny when you first puy it.

The only two cons is it gets boring after awhile if you get stuck
or you finshed the game. Also some of the places are as hard, boring, and dumb as crap.

Over all, it's a great game and I'm gald I bought it.
