A Pretty Good Game

If you are looing for a Mortal Kombat type fighting game you may what to look somewhere else (nope, no fatalities in Super Smash Brother Melee). This game may be missing the blood and gore but it makes up for that in hidden stages and characters ,that you may feel like you'll never find. The graphics are pretty good and the moves the players have are excellent. One of the best features is when you play in adventure mode you have opportunities to get trophies. The trophies are of all the characters off the old systems (NES, Super NES). Just remember when looking at the box "looks can be deceiving."

Great Game

After long days in class, this has been perfect for beating out frustrations in a way thats not nearly as anti-social as say, screaming at the cat until you feel better. This has fantastic replayability regardless of your skill level and perfect for groups of friends. Staging a tournament is a must for every owner of SSBM.

Icannot recommend this more highly for senseless mayhem and stress relief.

Enriched Graphics, Beutiful Sound, Pain-inducing moves

If you ever owned a Nintendo 64, I'm sure 99 out of 100 of you had played Super Smashed Bros. at least once. It was a BIG hit for all Loyal Nintendo fans and Mortal Kombat fanatics. Those little 64-polygraphic characters provided hours of entertainment, because it was something completely new. I mean, C'mon, what other game has characters from OTHER games combine into ONE game where they battle each other in places from OTHER games and use items from OTHER games? Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, BZZZZZ! Times up, NOTHING!
Well now, it's back! With EVERYTHING from the old games (Except for 1 element, I'll get into that later) plus MORE, MORE, MORE! This time with perfectly smoothed textures and tons more moves, plus more options. Super Smash is a super smash!

As I've already said, much of the original version has been included in to the newer one. The old characters: Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and Pikachu, plus the 4 hidden chatacters, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ness and Jigglypuff, are all in it. (In the newer one, Captain Falcon and Ness have already been unlocked for you. You must unlock Jigglypuff and Luigi.) Every level and item is in it. It would take forever to explain all the details, but basically it is the same as the 1st one. You unlock levels and characters like the 1st one, more moves, etc. It's amazing. However, what happened to Board the Platforms? Oh well, I can't put anything lower that 10/10.

Don't get me started on the Graphics. Really, don't, or I'll be going on...and on...and on...and on. I was blown away the first time I played Super Smash Bros. Not because my TV overheated and exploded, however that could add into it, because of the Graphics. Full 360 degress character, items and levels. The texture is SOOOOOO smothed. I love it. I can't explain much more. You can Zoom in and out, and the texture and quality will remain the same 4eva! There's no doubt in me saying this gets a 10/10.

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika! Okay, I swear, If Mario goe's "Ha Ha!" or Captain Falcon goes "Falcon!" again I will scream! The sound in this game is the bare minimum. Everything has a sound, but unfortuantly it is always the same. Most smashing sfx are the same. All weapons make the same sound, and when players perform moves they say the same thing. The constant DING sound whenever a menu is changed will annoy most users. I really thing Nintendo could have had a field day with the sounds, but just slapped some crude sounds and called it quits. I have to knock 'em down with a low 7/10.

Well, for one thing, the speed is definitly not as fast at Pikachu running, but it gets there. The only thing that kinda bugs me is that it saves at every menu. It takes about 4 seconds or so, along with some other things as well. All I can say is that it is fast but not superman. It's about as good as a 9/10.

With any fighting game, controls are key. This game makes it very easy with simple commands such as "a" is punch/kick/slap, whatever. "b" is a standerd power move. Z is throw, R is shield. The most technical is goes into is having to move the analog stick up, down, left or right with pressing "a" or "b". The control makes the grade, with a perfect 10/10.

The great thing about Super Smash is that it's not fun, fun, fun ... then it's over. The great multiplayer option lets you play endless hours with friends or againts the CPU. Unlike the original 1p mode, where you would fight Link, 12 kirbies, Fox, etc. and it would be the same everytime, this game bends the rules. It is simply Fight one random character, then fight 12 random charactders, then fight one random character, etc. Replay again and again, knowing that you can't go wrong with a 10/10.

All in all, Super Smash makes it's trademark by being Nintendo all the way. Made by Nintendo, made only for Nintendo, this game will beat Xbox's trademarked games anyday.

Let's review:
Gameplay: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 7/10
Speed: 9/10
Controls: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10

CHEATS: Nothing really. You get some trophies, you get some secret characters. I give Super Smash an extra point for cheats.

Total: 56/60 giving Super Smash Brother Melle a 94.34, + 01.00 for cheats, so it's a 95.34

great game!!!!

If you're all about fighting games don't even bother renting this game. This is one of the big reasons why Nintendo fans got a GC (Zelda of course is the biggest). The only downside of this game is that a lot of the characters are just clones of others in the game, for example: Gannondorf has the same exact moves as Captain Falcon, and the list goes on. But the game is too fun to even give it less than a 10/10. You will probably be playing this game with your friends until Gamecube 2 comes out in a couple years than hopefully we'll have another sequel. The single player adventure and classic modes are even fun to play and keep you trying to collect all the trophies, characters, levels, and extras in the game. Believe me when you play this game your first time you're gonna have a hard time going a day without playing it for a looooong time.

A smash hit

This game never gets old! It's very easy to pick up for the novice player, and it's still challenging even for the experienced. My SSBM throne is in constant jeopardy as my friends figure out new player's moves. It's the most fun for 4 players on any system.

The best game ever!

Although some may critizize Nintendo for being too reliant on it's franchises Nintendo always manages to make these franchise titles the best thier respective genre has to offer. Mario the best platformer, Zelda the best Action RPG, Metroid the best adventure, and Super Smash Bros Melee the best fighter...
Most fighter games get old within a few days, but I've had this game since December and I'm still finding more than enough things to do in this game to keep me busy, and I'm beginning to wonder if there is even an end to all the things to unlock! So many trophies, side quests, alternate modes, and the more you complete the more you unlock, this game is simply amazing.
This game is not the pinacle of the GameCubes graphical power, but for the most part it still manages to stand above the competing consoles. The backgrounds could have had more detail, but the characters looks imply amazing, and the real time clips mixed into the FMV movie at the beginning show such a smoth transition between prerendered and real time graphics you start to realize that GamCube is definately the most underrated system of the batch. The sound of this game is simply great, and the adventure mode gives gamers a chance to live the fantasy of playing through Super MArio Bros as Samus Aaron... though it would have been nice to have had the adventure mode a little longer and more elaborate (especially the metroid inspire level.)
This game is nearly perfect for it's genre, and most importantly the game is a blast! I haven't had this much pure fun in a very long time.

Best game ever!!!!!!

Super Smash is a relly great game! It has all the characters from the old game and some new characters (young link,doctor mario,gannondorf,falco,pichu,jigglypuff,pichu,mr.game and watch,mewtwo,marth,and roy). It also has a bunch of new places,modes, and items, which would take forever to list. The best item is the super scope. The game takes a long time to unlock everything, but it will still be fun to play even after you have unlocked everything!
