Super Smash Bros. Brawl

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl" is a fighting game released on Wii year 2008. However, while I'm waiting for a "Super Smash Bros" game to be released for Wii U year 2014, I've decided to write a review for this Wii game to tell you what I've been thinking about "SSBB" in general. And therefore this happened to be the first game I'm gonna review about here on the IMDb site.

Characters: There are at least 35 playable characters in this game. Besides from veteran characters like Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Fox McCloud, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff and Pikachu, there are several new characters as well, some of them being: Solid Snake, Sonic the Hedgehog, R.O.B., Lucario and Mr. Game & Watch just to name a few. As usual, many are playable from the start, while others have to be unlocked in specific ways.

Stages: This game doesn't only have new stages designed for SSBB, it also include some stages originally from "Super Smash Bros. Melee" for Nintendo Gamecube, as well as stages made by fans on Stage Builder. More about the player-created stages later. As I said about the characters, some stages are available from the start, while other have to be unlocked in some ways.

Nothing wrong with the item list as there are lots of items to be used in the "Brawl" mode and "Classic Mode". I just love the appearance of the Smash Ball, the Assist Trophy, Pokeball and the Smart Bomb.

And there are even lots of challenges to be done in order to get some special trophies, stickers and music, as well as new parts for Stage Builder and more.

So what makes this game great anyway? Yes, we got a spectacular adventure mode called "Subspace Emissary", where characters fight bosses and enemies, avoid or destroy obstacles and more in order to save the world from some dark power. When playing this game, I felt like this was a kind of "Super Smash Bros." meets "Final Fantasy", so great I found this adventure mode. This is the mode where I unlocked most of the unlockable characters like Ganondorf, Ness and Sonic.

Another great with this game is the pretty much beloved Stage Builder, which allows players to create their own stages. Pretty simple, but unlimited fun. The only disappointing is the limit on how many bricks you can put on the stage you are making. People have even uploaded each of their stages on a certain web page, allowing other people to downloading these stage into their memory card so it could be played on other Wii consoles.

Also, pausing during a match, "Subspace Emissary" or "Classic Mode" allows the player to take a picture and save it on the console itself, as well as in a memory card so the pictures could be uploaded on the internet.

And there are other modes as well; A mode where pictures and all collected stickers and trophies can be looked at; a mode where you have to break the targets in fastest possible time; a "multi-man brawl" which can be somewhat frustrating in times; a boss battle; a home-run contest; event matches; Wi-Fi connection, and much much more...

So yes, there have been much to in this game. I have even been using many months to complete most of the challenges I could do.

My favorite characters in random order: PEACH (love her), Mario, Bowser, Donkey Kong and Captain Falcon. Some other characters I like to use include Pikachu, Wario, Zelda, Snake and Zero Suit Samus.

Overall, this game is one of my favorite Wii game I have on my room. My overall rating: 10/10

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl" is everything I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be similar enough to the first two so that the wonderful gameplay would not change. It didn't. But I wanted more stuff. More things to do. I got that.

This film is loyal to the first two games and the Bros. franchise but it is special in its own way. There are so many different ways to play, a plethora of characters (again) to use and master.

Also brilliant is the WiFi connection. People around the world are brawling it up. Just brilliant.

But for me, the one thing that makes this game so, so good is the MUSIC. They took a ton of old themes from old games and recreated them in a way that was awesome, but remaining loyal to these wonderful classics.

The attention to detail is astounding. The difficulty level can be immense, and the level of fun is very high.

It will be remembered as a Wii classic.

I always pictured the third Super Smash Bros. game to be even better than the previous one. And I was right, when I first played the long awaited game.

This game has everything you wish to see in a Super Smash Bros. game. More characters as fighters. Including some that were meant to be part of the series for sometime. More challenges, and endless game play.

The thing to look forward to this game is the entirely original adventure mode, that's better than the one from mêlée. It's where you unlock most of the hidden fighters. As well as witnessing cinema-tics of the entirely original story that's told in the Adventure game. Something that was never featured in the previous games. So you'll witness some great computer graphics on the special effects and surroundings.

Not only that, but as well as an expanded version of trophy collection, improved home run contest, target practice, and the return of the familiar classic mode.

The music, concept, and detail of the whole game is all professionally made. There's nothing to hate about the game, it's everything you want a sequel of a great franchise to be. So don't hesitate in buying the game. It's one of the best fighter games you'll ever see on the Nintendo Wii.

And keep thinking to yourself how much greater a 4th Super Smash Bros. would be from years from now.

Super Smash Brothers was an unexpected success when it started out in 1999, and now it's evolved into a flagship franchise for Nintendo, co-existing alongside Mario (and its many spin-offs), Zelda, Metroid and even recent mainstays like Pokemon. Brawl takes what made the earlier games great experiences and adds to them gorgeous refinement of the highest order: alongside one of the most cohesive recollections of Nintendo's longstanding history in the game industry (mentions as far and wide as (former Nintendo collaborator) Rareware's Nintendo 64 titles: Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark).

Super Smash Brothers has become THE fighting game to play at parties and e-sports events worldwide and for great reason: the franchise is a game that ceases to be fake in the collective minds of players everywhere. The stages are gorgeous, the fighting is immersive bliss and it's got that WARM Nintendo charm to it that only a handful of games can muster for me: like Super Mario 64 or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's Nintendo at its absolute best.

Brawl gets a golden 5/5 stars.

This is a really really fun game, I have so many fun memories going over to my friends house just playing this game for hours. The action is really good and the story mode (subspace emissary) is in my opinion the best story mode throughout out the smash bros series (including super smash bros ultimate).
