Super Smash Bros Brawl is a sequel to the highly successful game Super Smash Bros Melee. That game was the best selling game on the Gamecube and was loved by critics and fans, when a sequel was announced, people knew that Nintendo would have to work hard to top Melee. They delivered and exceeded the fans high expectations, and made one of the best fighting games of all time.
Graphics: Graphically the game looks good. The characters models look great and the stage backgrounds are high detail and often have a lot going on in them. The animations of the characters are really smooth and the cutscenes of the story mode look fantastic. However even though they are really good looking graphics, they aren't quite as stunning as other games on the system like Mario Galaxy or Sonic Colors. While not the best on the system they are still great and work well for the game. 8/10
Sound: This game has one of the best soundtracks I ever heard. It has rips of some of the best songs in video game history, and if you want to hear something new, this game offers plenty of that to. It has fully orchestrated remixes of some of the greatest gaming songs, making the greatest even greater, the remixes sound fantastic and are very well made. The original soundtrack is also great, the main theme of the game is absolutely beautiful. The rest of the original songs are also great, even though many of them are just remixes of the main theme. It is a amazing soundtrack with a great mix of all sorts of music ranging from opera to metal. 10/10
Gameplay, Design, and Addictiveness: The game plays just like the previous installments, but if you haven't played them, it is a 2d fighting game, but with a twist, it controls must more smoothly and is much more fast paced then other fighting games, and instead of trying to drain the opponent's health, you are trying to weaken them, then hit them so hard that they go flying off the screen. The gameplay has had a few additions like some new items and characters. The new items are mostly great and are extremely fun to use. The characters are fun to use and have different types that can give variety, however some characters play in similar fashions. Another problem with characters is some of them are overpowered, I don't find this a huge problem, except with one character: Pikachu, he is so cheap and a player who knows how to use him will have the biggest advantage in battle. There are other gameplay modes that do change the gameplay, there is a story mode that involves a bit of platforming, and the platforming is good, the fighting is much better. There is also some challenge mode, and a few mini games like home run contest, trophy shooter (not the actual name, just what I call it), and target practice. They are all great except I do prefer the target practice from Melee. It has a lot of replayability, it has a ton of singleplayer options, and some of the best multiplayer out there. It plays great with smooth gameplay and loads of options, it also is highly replayable and can possibly last hundreds of hours. 10/10
Story: The only thing in the game that has a story is the story mode, but I am not a big fan of the story. It is basically about a group of villains who try to turn the heros to trophies and bring the world in a dimension known as subspace. The biggest problem with the story is it changes a lot and has a lot of subplots for the other characters, which really gets confusing. Another problem is a lot of it is just filler, some of the levels and cutscenes don't actually follow the main story and that just adds to the problem. It does involve every Nintendo character teaming up, and they did that the best they could. Although the filler was annoying and the story was confusing and had too much going on, it still did a ok job at bringing all the Nintendo characters together, and remember, the story is probably the least important part of the game, so this doesn't count for much. 6/10
Depth: As I mentioned earlier, there is a lot of replay value and game options. The game has so many different options that changes the game, there are many different characters and stages and the stages have a lot to do, and almost every stage has something different to do. Even the story takes quite a long time, taking about 10 hours. The other options can also last hours, and I'm sure there are many people who have more playtime on multiplayer on this game, then all modes in any other game. The game has loads of options and loads to do. 10/10
Difficulty: The game's modes range in difficulty. The normal versus mode on singleplayer is pretty easy, even on the highest difficulty it still isn't too much of a challenge once you get the hang of the game. Story mode can get hard but the game has a sticker system that makes the characters stronger and decrease the difficulty, however there are some challenging parts. The event mode can be quite challenge, as well as other challenges like all-star. Although the game can be easy, there is enough challenge for hardcore players also, and the difficulty fits any crowd of gamers. 7/10
Overall: The game is well made, and very fun, the game fits any type of gamer, and there are tons of options, it is one of the best wii games ever made, and is easily worth $50, even if that can be a little steep for some games, this one well justifies the price. 9.5/10
