Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: The third instalment in Nintendo’s popular Super Smash Bros. fighter franchise debuts on the Wii in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Loaded with all the characters and features players have loved from the two previous versions, plus much more, it is a worthy addition to the series and yet another must-have title for the Nintendo Wii.
The lifeblood of the Super Smash Bros. series has always been the depth of the character line-up that each instalment has been able to bring and Brawl not only keeps with tradition, but does it one better. Just as in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros Melee, players can expect to pit their favourite Nintendo characters against each other in head-to-head and multiplayer battles, but instead of insisting on characters exclusively from the Nintendo universe, Brawl adds variety in the form of superstars Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake from Konami’s Metal Gear franchise. This is a first-time addition and one that will delight veteran players and newbies alike. But these two characters are only a sampling of the new additions to the game’s line-up. The other ten come from classic Nintendo titles and bring the complete line-up of playable characters to a whopping 25. See the full list on combatants below:New Comers: Pit from the Kid Icarus series, Wario, Zero Suit Samus, Ike from the Fire Emblem series, Meta Knight and King Dedede from the Kirby series, Pokémon Trainer, Diddy Kong, Lucas from the Earthbound/Mother series, Pikimin and Olimar from the Pikmin series and of course Sonic and Solid Snake.Returning Veteran Fighters: Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox McCloud, Samus, Zelda/Sheik, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Princess Peach and Ice Climbers from the NES title Ice Climber.The Rules of the Brawl As in previous releases in the series, Brawl places players within a different, but easy to use fighting system. Players choose a character, select one of the numerous stages--which are levels based in the game worlds represented in Super Smash Bros.-- and try to knock their opponents off the screen using a range of standard techniques and combos as well as a variety of special attacks and ‘Smash Moves’ specific to their chosen character. A Smash Move can only be performed after securing a ‘Smash Ball.’ These precious items, marked with the Smash Bros. logo, fall randomly and can be used by either player, but they must be cracked open before they can be used. To keep things interesting they can also can be stolen if not used right away, so when a player sees one it must be grabbed quickly and cracked to avoid an unfortunate turn of events.Also, keeping with the game’s "E" rating and player’s affection for the characters, instead of displaying health bars the game uses a percent system to indicate character status and strength. The more damage done to a character, the higher the percentage and the farther back he/she is knocked back when struck by an opponent.Many Ways to Play: Multiplayer and Single Player Options Just as in previous instalments of Super Smash Bros. there is fun to be had whether you choose to fight in multiplayer or single player mode, but Brawl again pushes the envelope even further by providing additional ways to play within these areas and the possibility of others added later. Here are just a few of the modes that you can expect to see:Multiplayer
Because the Super Smash Bros. series has a huge following and an even larger list of characters from the Nintendo catalogue, it only makes sense that players may have a preference for a particular Nintendo controller from the era of their favourite game. Because of this the game’s creators have incorporated all four of the major Nintendo controllers into the mix. Whether you prefer the Wii Remote, the Wii Remote with Nunchuck, the Wii Classic Controller or GameCube Controller it makes no difference. All four are fully compatible with all the features of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, although the handling of each is a little different. Choose the one you are most comfortable with, or explore all your options. The choice is yours.A Barrel Full of Customization Finally, created with an eye towards providing year’s worth of fun, Brawl comes with extensive built-in customization possibilities. Dive into the game’s seemingly endless list of game modes/mini-games, battle stages, in-game items and musical playback options to make the game your own and Brawl the way you want to.

 Rating:  - Smashing!Who can't enjoy watching Kirby swallowing Bowser, spitting him off the stage and then frying mario with fire breath? Or watching Samus pick up a super spicy curry and taking out King Dedede? If you are worried because you didn't own a Gamecube and never played Super Smash Bros. Melee, then you need not be! The new game offers a perfect starting point for new players. The adventure mode. This is certainly not the best mode in the game and lacks the simplicity you'd get from ...

This games multiplayer mode is amazing, me and my little brother must have fought over 100 times but still we are both stunned over some of the moves you pull off. Single play is great fun until you've done it a couple of times, but you can't have everything. Still tottally amazing though. Rating: - SSBBThis game is good for any Nintendo fan, it has lots to do (not just fight or story mode, but mini games like home-run contest). There are many unlockables, and not just one way to unlock the characters. Only 1 problem i thought- not really a problem, but let me down a little bit. The create-a-stage mode is great, but i felt you couldn't create enough. You could have quite a few options, but couldn't fully customize it. Most of the objects also take up much more blocks then they need, so you couldn't ... Read More Rating: - Best. Multiplayer. Ever!God, what a game. For the multiplayer. After playing the first two, I couldn't imagine it would get any better, but hey, it did! It's much better than Melee, in terms of new and unlockable stuff, graphics and all the tech side of the game. But Melee was, in my opinion, the birth of the multiplayer fighter. Forget Street Fighter, forget Tekken, forget MK, forget Dead or Alive, Melee was the one. And this game improves on Melee in many ways, with more characters, more items and a some what fun single player ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic!Gosh, I 've bought so many Wii games recently and this has got to be the cream of the crop. 1.)Think of it as Mortal Combat, but with all the characters you grew up playing on Nintendo. 2.)It has a lots of extras, like the mini games, and creating your on play stages. It has also good training levels as well. 3.)Be aware that the games "does not use Wii motion" so the controlling is pretty much like past generation gaming. ie gamecube. 4.) Good graphic, ...
