This is one of the best games that I have for the GC. It's non-stop fun. I like the new features on it such as the Homerun Derby, where you try to hit the Punching Bag as far as you can. Remember there is a bat there for you, for the ones that didn't know. I personally didn't know until I was just looking around the screen. MUST BUY!!
Best Multiplayer Ever

Don't be fooled by the 4 and a half stars you see on this game, it is pure 5 star material. The main reason it doesn't have five stars is all of those annoying people who say the game is great, yet forget to put ANY stars on it.
Anyway, the one player mode is pretty fun, despite what some people may tell you; however, if you want to really see this game shine, have some extra controllers and a few spare friends handy, since multiplayer mode is what this game is centered around, unless you count the Nintendo nostalgia.
The characters are quite well balanced (Jigglypuff is actually worth playing now, due in no small part to her new 'Rollout' attack). This way, you can pick any character you want and feel confident you can take on whoever your opponent picks, as long as you know what your doing, that is.
I won't go over the other things that other reviews usually do, like graphics, sound, and story, because, as a REAL gamer, I know that those things have nothing to do with what makes a real game. My main concerns are gameplay, replay value, and, of course, how fun it is; SSBM cover each of these perfectly. The controls are so simple, even novice players will be dodging, throwing, and dishing out the damage like a pro. As for replay value, the options you get in multiplayer mode are so expansive, I haven't even gone through all the different variations you can try, and I've owned the game for over a year. First, you have the original option of timed battle and stock battle, but you now have two additional options: coin, where the object is to get the most coins, which appear when a player recieves damage, and bonus, which involves getting the most style points, like the bonuses you recieve after battles in one-player mode. In addition to this, there are several battle variations that are available, such as giant battle, where all the players are extra-large, and super sudden death, where every player starts with 300% damage. There are several other little things, but I don't want to list them all, and besides, you can look that kind of stuff up elsewhere. As for fun, let's just I can play SSBM for hours, if I had that many hours in a row free to play it.
Bottom line: If you have friends that you could get to play video games with you, get this. If not, don't rule SSBM out, but give it some thought.
Awesome But...

This is a really awesome game. However, I only have two complaints.
1. Why does Mewtwo have to be so hard to get?
2. Ness has got to go. Could they have made him anymore annoying? They should have taken him out in the first game, anyway.
All in all, really fun.
Beat the !#!@$# out of your favorite Nintendo Characters!!

Super Smash Bros. Melee is an amazingly fun game. It is neither revolutionary or very original; SSBM is simply amazingly fun to play. The multitude of characters, secrets, fighting arenas, and references to past Nintendo games make SSBM a classic. No Nintendo fan (old school or new school) should be without this game.
The Good:
Excellent Graphics, Controls and Sound
Easy to learn, hard to master gameplay ensures that anyone can enjoy SSBM as soon as they start to play
26 Classic Nintendo Characters-Zelda, Mario, Link, Luigi, Samus, Captain Falcon, Star Fox, Ice Climbers and many more!
An amazing amount of secrets- there are over 300 trophies (which are of various Nintendo games, characters, and other such things), many unlockable characters and levels and more!
The adventure mode in the game takes you to many familar Nintendo locals- if you are a Nintendo fan, you will go nuts when you recognize some of the levels
The multiplayer is insane. Get 4 people together and you'll have a blast.
The Bad:
Playing against the computer is a bit cheap at times
Overall, Super Smash Brothers Melee is a Nintendo fan's dream. There are so many inside jokes, tributes, and references to everything from Japan only games to Donkey Kong Country to Super Mario 64. The gameplay, graphics and controls are absolutely perfect. The multiplayer is simply amazing (Halo? What's that?). If you have ever played a Nintendo system in your life, you need this game. SSMB is a masterpiece and an amazing combination of old school and new school gaming.
Raised Standards!!!

Today is Christmas, i woke up and went into the living room, sitting amazingly in front of me was my GAMECUBE!!! I opened it immediately ,and soon after doing this found that i had also recieved S.S.B. melee. I started to play it immediately and was amazed at the incredible graphics. I started out on single player, after beating it on very easy :-
) ,i had to go over to my grandmothers house. While I was over there my uncle gave me a memory card and another controller.We played for a very long time. I was aware that the eye candy from this game was enough to fill even snorlax's giant hunger.I was so amazed. There are so many things to do. I played all the different types of games. Since, I had 2 controllers, I tried out the snapshot thingy. I was also amazed at this. For, no matter how much I zoomed in, the graphix still stayed amazingly beutiful.I would recommend this game to anyone with a gamecube. And if you ont have a gamecube, well your missing out on a big upgrade from the original.
