5 out of 5 stars The Best Game Ever Played   March 9, 2008

9 out of 16 found this review helpful

This is for sure the best game I have ever played. The few other reviews that say this game is overated, bad, or just like Super Smash Bros. Melee are wrong. This game is packed with new players, such as awesome Meta Knight, a new feature: Build Your own Stage, the new co-op mode, and so much more. You can play this game for hours and never get tired of it. Though the release date was delayed until March, 9, it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this game to people of all ages.


5 out of 5 stars Everything about this game screams "Epic Nintendo Game"   March 14, 2008

I wasn't much of a console gamer for a long time after the N64, but one game that stood out on it was Super Smash Bros. Fast forward to 2008 and I broke down and got a Wii for the party-gaming potential. I have not been disappointed. Yesterday, this game arrived.

Oh boy. This is a heck of a lot of fun. The number of things to do is incredible. You can even practice your character's moves against your choice of inert or active opponents. Nintendo seems to have intended this game to be epic as they not only include an in-game retrospective of the entire line of Nintendo gaming products going back all the way to the NES, they include time-limited trial versions of the classic games.

Wifi works wonderfully. Online matches are frantic and fun.

One odd thing is that the wireless pointer feature of your wii controller is completely inert once you load the game. This is one area where they shouldn't have stuck to their roots- it feels silly to move a token with the analog joystick when I could theoretically just point at the character I want to use. But you get used to it.

If you have a kid, he will spend months getting all the unlocks (there are lots). If you have a kid inside you, you will rediscover some console joy.

The maps are pretty amusing/crazy. They touch on many themes/ideas from previous Nintendo works. Put it this way: There is a Pictochat map. The terrain is drawn as you play... Many maps have destructible terrain or areas you cannot jump up through, which adds a strategic element.

The characters are varied and seem very well-balanced against each other. (Aside: I love how the announcer says "KING DEDEDE" so seriously.)

If you are completely new to the game, you still have a pretty good shot at winning by button-mashing, which I consider a good feature. If you have mastered the combos and moves however, you still have the advantage.

I haven't played the adventure mode much but it is also fun.

You pretty much have to buy this game if you own a Wii. This is as much a Wii-defining game as Super Mario Galaxy or Wii Sports is.



1 out of 5 stars Horrible, craptacular button mashing waste of time   March 28, 2008

This game is awful. I'm just thanking my lucky stars that I rented this "game" from the local Blockbuster. Here we go....

*It's all about how fast you can hit the "A" button
*Doesn't use any of the unique features of the Wii remote.

So if you have $49.99 + tax to waste on seeing how fast you can mash the "A" button on you Wii Classic Controller, go for it!!! Otherwise save your $$$.

Stay with your gamecube version of the game. This game has nothing new. It's only mildly intersting with online, but it's not as fun as playing with your friends close to you. Nintendo needs to release something more interesting with the Wii because the last time they inovated was when Mario 64 came out.

My 10 y/o son LOVES this game! I am usually pretty careful about how much and which video games I let him play (this is the only "T" rated game he has, and he only has 1 E-10 game, everything else he has is "E" rated). The action/violence level is relatively tame -- all cartoon characters battling eachother, no blood, no visible injuries, the character who loses the battle kind of flies out of the scene. The battling itself isn't very graphic, with highly fictionalized "weapons." That said, my son and his friends love the game, lots of interesting "level-ups" and plot twists, plus fun characters you'll recognize from elsewhere.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
