5 out of 5 stars Review by my 4 1/2 year old:   August 15, 2008
My son loves this game and wants to play it all day. It took a while for him to get the hang of the controller and now he's a pro. He played for a long time on the practice rounds, easy level, in order to get comfortable with the controller. He really loves to be able to choose the different characters and different backgrounds. He also just likes to sit and watch while Daddy plays. It seems like it's rated T because of the complexity of the controller, not because it's violent. I mean, you don't see blood or anything, more like cartoon violence.

Here is the review given word-for-word by my 4 1/2 year old:
"I like it. My favorite part is where you get to play adventure and you break out one of the guys it gives you a little bat or something else. Favorite character is Donkey Kong. Kirby is the best fighter. You get to pick different people. It's really good and it had different challenges. Buy it because it's so fun and stuff."



5 out of 5 stars this game is sooooooo addicting   August 11, 2008
i have been playin Smash since 99 and this one is the best of all more characters improved graphics and online every wii owner should have this must-have game


4 out of 5 stars Great Game for the whole family!   August 6, 2008
Although I am one of those gamers born and raised in the "Gamer age" of coin operated games, I continue to do so today. I am proud to see y young son get so much into games and characters that I group up with. Sadly some of the games that he plays are a bit too simple for me but this is one game that we the whole family can play. Even my wife who is not good at games tha much loves to play this game. we started by renting the game and then bought it after my wife could not stop playing this for the past five days of the rental. Nintendo has done a great job in mixing the Mario Party game genere in with a sense of level completion play as well. Unlock new characters and levels to play and add to the fun. This game has a high replayability level and it is dynamic play at that. Add to that the fact that all ages can play and the levels/games can be set to levels that everyone can have fun while playing. We have even started an intrahouse competetion and have mixed up the play buy having the various house members change their partners for "Game night." While I don; think anything can take the place of getting out and playing with the family together, I feel that MP8 does a really good job and having a fun game that the whole family can play together and that is priceless/.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl continues on what Nintendo did in Melee. The game is fun and the new modes are great.


3 out of 5 stars Feels a bit like a last F.U. to Sega   August 3, 2008

Admittedly, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a lot of fun. The graphics are really improved, there's no slow-downs during play from the processor, and you can have fun weather you're a strategist or just a button masher. I'm not going to debate the merits of the game-play.

Like many who purchased this, I was a Sega loyalist back in the day. As such, one of the primary reasons I got this game is that it finally allows me the chance to bust out Sonic and pound that damned Italian plumber into marinara. I'm sure there were at least one or two others who purchased this game thinking the same thing.

Unfortunately, unless you're very lucky, you're going to have to go through a lot of game-play to unlock Sonic, and more than likely you're going to have to beat the crap out of him with a Nintendo character before you can play as him.

As I said before, it is a fun game, it's just that having Sonic buried like that feels like one last big "F*** YOU!" to the Sega gamers. And it may very well have been completely unintentional, but it still sucks that Mario's right there and ready for you, but you have to play for god knows how long before you can be Sonic.

If you're a fan of the series, pick it up. If you're an old Sega fan, get a DS and buy the Sonic Rush games.
