When i first played super smash for N64 i was amazed at the graphics but now i look back and realize that they were horrible compared to these graphichs on melee! The gameplay is great with tons of versus, and single player options to play. The strong part is obviously the multiplayer but the single player is fun to and very much improved over the N64 version. Has my vote for game of the year.

Smashin' good time

If you're looking into this game, then I'm willing to bet you're already familiar with the original Smash Brothers on Nintendo 64. Well, you're in for a real treat, then. Melee offers much better graphics; more arenas, characters, weapons, moves, and multi/single player options over its predecessor. I thought I'd be in heaven... until I tried to play the game. Next generation console controllers are always kind of screwy, and Gamecube's own device does more harm than good to this beautiful package (i.e. Smash Bros. Melee). The characters move too awkwardly in essence to the goofy button configuration. Also, the level designs are way too elaborate and I found myself getting lost in the background rather than keeping an eye on my player. -- But you will eventually get used to how it plays, and when you do.... you've just found one of the greatest things you could possibly do with friends. Melee is here, and boy is it a treat.

SSBM!!

If you love Nintend and have grown up with it just like me (got a NES when I was six months old-now I'm 16) and you love the characters you'll really love this game. The characters have all been updated with thier looks and attacks, but some of their voices have changed which is sort of a down side.

Each character, even the slow ones, are alot faster with the game being on Game Cube but thing I like the most is the game play. Each of the main characters you start out with has their own speical qualities. So even if Bowser could knock Peach for a loop she could always come back and kick his tail becasue of her life saving umbrella.

The down B and the up B attacks are the same on the original Smash Brothers characters but they all have new ones too. Instead of A or B just being little attacks, if used right, they are actually really powerful, especially when it comes to Jigglypuff.

Zelda and Peach are great new additions to the game. Samus was the only girl in the first game as we all know but just because the new girls are princesses doesn't mean they are not strong.
Princess Peach Toadstool attack's prove that if it really came down to it she could really take on Bowser. The same with Pricess Zelda. Three of her main moves come from the 3 magical attacks Link got from the faeries in Ocarina of Time. Remember them? Well there was Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, and Farores (pardon my spelling) Wind. Each is now an attack of Zelda which also proves that she could take on the King of Darkness... but we don't know if he is going to show up in SSBM ;)

Well the game is great! Trophys-adventure mode-invisible melee, that are all great parts of this wonderful addition to Nintendo history.

P.S. Some of the new worlds added to the game are classic worlds visited throughout all Nintendo games. So when you go to Yoshi's world be sure to remember that when the little blocks are hit, they spin. And when they spin, you can't stand on them anymore. :)

I have waited for this game for a long time but to tell you the truth I expected alot more from nintendo, to start off i'd like to say the controller for Gamecube is horrible, they should have left the same one for N64, putting 2 analog sticks was just more trouble and the Z button being on top is alot harder to control. This is a cool game with more than 300 Trophies to collect with many different and exciting modes. New charcters and more hidden characters, the levels are good with a very good soundtrack. But then again lets get to the controls, the combos in this game are not as good as in Super Smash Brothers for n64, smash attacks are much harder to do in this game because you must tap the joystick very lightly, it's hard to do that seeing how loose it is. But the game, itself is great, the graphics are truly amazing and you will have fun for hours. I would have given this a 5 but its hard to adapt to these controls, in time it will get easier, but for now 4 stars form me.

Fun, fun, and wait... More fun

I was suprised on how fun this game is. Yeah, it is just a bunch of hard hitting fighting, but it's really fun. Especially when you get 4 human players, man talk about all night, blood shot eye fun! And there is lots of stuff to do in the game, and I'll tell you, there is some things in this game that are really hard. One little "mini-game" is called Cruel Challenge or something, but it's you and 5 other computer players, but they kick your sorry a** in about 5 seconds. Seriously, if anyone's beaten that level, tell me how you did it for a free cookie.

Pretty Good Game, if You Know What You're Doing...

So it's like... This is a great game. It actually took me a while to get into. I got this as an unsuspecting Christmas presant, and so I had no idea what it was about. For those of you who have played the original in N64, this will probably be a piece of cake for you. But for us newcomers who are buying or asking for this game for the sake of having something good to play on GameCube, it'll take a second for it to sink in. I first had to understand what was going on, because I felt no need to purchase the Official Strategy Guide.
Once I actually got into the game, it was so much fun. A little mishap rendered me not being able to play it for several days, and during that time span, I found myself missing it, so it really grows on you.
Being able to play as several of your favorite characters is just great fun. It's like playing all your favorite video games, and kicking the.... out of certain characters that you hate. (Personal Example: Kicking the Pokemon in their Pokeballs).
A 5 star game marked down once because it took a day or two to figure out what I was doing. But a good one none the less - on of the great first games released.
