Personally I love this game... I play it about everyday. Maybe I don't have a life... but gotta love it!
For those that have played SSB (For 64) :It retains some negatives from the previous SSB (Super Smash Brothers) for ex: running. Possbly new negatives are: awkward throwing (with Z) but like always they give you two ways to throw. Umm Camera angle can sometimes be odd because of the damage are covering the level. Player Control, overall was a major plus. If you read the reviews for the controller design for Game Cube you'll see why and this takes full advantage of the controller. Ah yes, and that pretty lil rumble pack that you don't really see...well, this game has that featured into it too.

I'll let you discover characters on your own. ... the music is pretty good get to hear stuff that you haven't heard since Nintendo. And if you read about Fire Emblem, to my knowledge that's a game only released in Japan?
If you liked SSB you'll love SSB Melee. It's as simple as that. If you're not sure rent it. And don't come to me if you get addicted to it.. lol

SSB Melee
Characters: 9.8/10.0 - Great! - Large selection of characters a lot with similar attacks and subtle differences. Useful whenever there are two people who want to be say Pikachu or someone, but this is only after you get most of the hidden characters.

Levels: 8.0/10.0 - Pretty Good! - Personally I'm not sure about the levels yet. I have about 4 that I like a lot out of all the levels. There are a few levels that like to move around a lot. One of which I grew to like. But for some levels it's a whole new game compared to SSB for 64.

1P Mode: 9.7/10.0 - Great! fun, many modes on which to play on! Difficulty can be adjusted for the game.

Vs. Mode: 10.0/10.0 - I can't say enough about this! many more functions available. There's also coin battle and HP battle. Only possible trouble area ... is stage selection, make sure you decide how you want to select 'em!

My personal ratings on this game:
Graphics: 9.50/10.0 - good; could've been better possibly.
Player Control: 9.70/10.0 - pretty good!
Game Design: 9.21/10.00 - pretty good!
Sound: 9.90/10.0 - It'd be nice if you could select your music... from the music already on the CD or.. whatever you wanna call it
Replay Value: ?? / 10.0 - Not sure! but it's multiplayer... and SSB for 64 proved to have like 11.0/10.0 replay value. I'll put it this way... if I stop playing it by 2004, I'll tell you..
---
Overall: 9.55/10.0 (95.5%)- Great!
...If you ask me. This game is an absolute must.
Definitely a great multi player game. Whether you're into fighting type games or not!

Super Smash Bros. Melee is a game that is so fun to play. No matter what mode it is. Multiplayer mode is the bomb. I can't say how addictive it gets. The Gamecube is mine and I don't let my sisters play unless I am playing too. So once they played this game they always wanna play the original game on there N64.
Nintendo made this game 100 times better than the first. And everybody on my street had the first one. Now some kids got PS2s and they can't get this game. But they still play it at my house.
Back in the 64 bit days I was the Smash Bros champion. And I am working on getting that status with Melee. I am unstoppable with Prince Marth. I have all the characters except Mewtwo and Mr. Game and Watch. When I first saw this game I thought what could be better than the N64 version. Then I played it. Once I got a Gamecube I got lots of other games but I didn't have this. So I bought it with my christmas money. Boy I am glad I did too. There are 14 characters to start with and 11 additional characters also. They are
1 Mario
2 Pikachu
3 Peach
4 Bowser
5 Yoshi
6 DK
7 Captin Falcon
8 Fox
9 Ness
10 The Ice Climbers
11 Kirby
12 Samus
13 Zelda/Shiek
14 Link
15 Jigglypuff*
16 Luigi*
17 Dr. Mario*
18 Falco*
19 Gannondorf*
20 Prince Marth*
21 Roy*
22 Pichu*
23 Young Link*
24 Mewtwo*
25 Mr. Game and Watch*
* is for unlockable characters.
If you find a special code and you own an Action Replay you can unlock extremly rare characters. Note this code is very rare and these characters replace others.
1 Master Marth for Prince Marth
2 Fierce Link for Link
3 Wario for Mario
4 Waluigi for Luigi
5 Sonic and Tails for the Ice Climbers
6 Koopa for Yoshi
7 King K. Rool for Bowser
8 Diddy Kong for DK
9 Jumpman for Mr. Game and Watch(Jumpman was the original Mario)
10 Raichu for Pikachu
11 Togepei for Pichu
Just remember that this code is extremly rare and it also gives you 10 extra levels for multiplayer mode.
Well I hope my review was helpful.

Smash Bros. once again rules Nintendo

Super Smash Bros. Melee is definintely a good game to buy for the gamecube, especially if you have played the first one on N64. If you liked the 1st one, you'll like the 2nd one, and if you don't have the 1st one, you'll like this one anyway. There are many new characters, including the girls such as Peach and Zelda (who can transform into Sheik). There are also twice as many courses than there were in the original, and they have much better quality graphics. There are also more secret courses and characters to unlock. And to add to that, there is even a new mode called adventure mode. Adventure mode is just like the classic, except you travel throughout different worlds and defeat different bosses. It's a bit more exciting than the classic version. The bottom line is, buy this game if you liked the 1st one.

All you could ask for in a sequel to SSB

When I played Super Smash Brothers, I thought it was incredible. The most awesome game ever. So of course when I heard this game announced, I was ecstatic. I didn't even buy a gamecube until this game was released. And it was definitely worth it! If you liked the first game at all, you'll love this one. It has twenty something characters (including 4 Pokemon: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, and Mewtwo). The play doesn't get boring because the more you play, the more characters and levels you unlock. One scene (and an awesome one, may I add) requires you to play 200 matches of vs. rounds to unlock. As well as other features that are hidden...the game even includes a tournament mode for up to 64 players! And the graphics...are amazing. It's difficult for me to go back to the choppy, polygonal graphics of N64 after playing this game. The characters are smooth and sleek (just look at Link) and the hidden character Marth is gorgeous... =) Well, anyway, this game is definitely 5/5 stars.

THIS GAME IS SUPER SMASHING! BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game rules! You should definetly buy it today. Multiplayer allows you to play up to 4 guys at a time and its great for birthday parties and stuff like that. It definetly is the best game for gamecube. The players are easy to control and have simple combos and the music is full and its not like that beepy gameboy music and its pretty cool too. The graphics are awsome, and there is a all new adventure mode where you go through stages like Mario's mushroom kingdom, DK's congo jungle, and captain falcon's F-zero track. then there are all the charectars. These are all of them: Mario, bowser, pikachu, peach, yoshi, DK, captain falcon, fox, ness, ice climbers, kirby, samus, zelda, link, sheik, dr. mario, gannondorf, falco, young link, pichu, luigi, jigglypuff, roy, mewtwo, prince marth, regular marth, and mr. game and watch. If you like fighting, this is the game for you!!!!!!!!!!! I rank it 5-star, so buy it today!!!!!!!!!!!

this is one of the best video games of all time. This game you will never get tired of. You can unlock SO many things like (Luigi, MrGame and Watch stage, Jigglypuff, new POkEMOns, and much more)! This game is alittle violent beacause people do get hurt (but with no blood). The graphics, music, stages, and fun are all A+!

THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC~

This is a must buy for previous SSB fans

I actually played Melee at a Nintendo Cube Club, and it was very good. Everything has been improved, from the graphics, movement, the music, and more. If you liked SSB for 64 at all, this is a definate buy for GameCube. There are 20 characters to choose from, 2 of which are still unknown. There are many more stages compared to SSB on 64, and all of them have been improved.

All I can say is, if you don't buy this game for GameCube, you're missing out on something great!

Sweetest Game Ever

This game is going to be the best game for Nintedo Gamecube.

IMPORTANT ADVICE: whoever has a gamecube, must buy this game. Even Ganondorf will be in it, a great improvement is the single player. Like for example: in links castle, you go through a maze before getting to fight him

there's also a batting tournament its awesoe

Sequel? I don't think so - check it out!!!

Everybody keeps calling Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube a sequel to the hit Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo 64, but, from what I know, it's way better and shouldn't even be compared the the original, which would just make it seem inferior. I haven't played it yet, but from what I can understand so far, it's gonna blow all the other games away. With over 20 stages and characters, over 10 modes, at least 5 secret characters, (though I've heard there were as much as 12), over 40 items (some that are very creative), and over 60 players allowed in the tournament mode, I can't understand how anyone wouldn't want to buy it the second they can. I also have heard that there are mind - blowing graphics and the most intense gameplay a game can dish out. I hope though, that there will be harder computers in this Super Smash Brothers because now that I've had the original one for so long, I can beat 3 level 9 computers at once so I will be dissapointed if the computers are easy. The original Super Smash Bros. is also full of flat, vague characters and pokeballs that stay in one place when let loose. The new game will have more attacks, combos, modes, items, characters, graphics, secret characters, players able to play at once, and way more fans.

Total Smash

With over 30 levels and 20 characters, this is a definite game to have. I was the master at the old game, but it got boring after awhile. I have to train in the new one, too bad there's no such thing as a Super Smash Official Tournament! This game is a must buy. With characters like Roy, Mr. Game and Watch, Marth, and Daisy (i think, i saw her fighting peach once), this is so worth the price.
