Product Description
Super Smash Brothers Melee is a splendid fighting game where you place your favorite Nintendo characters against each other, to find out who’s the toughest of them all!Amazon.com Review
Normally, Nintendo contract players such as Mario, Pikachu, Link, Donkey Kong, Bowser, and Kirby are generally pleased and well-place on, but in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the pleasantries get thrown out and the gloves (except for Mario’s) come off. This update of the N64 favorite features these and other video game icons in furious, yet utterly absurd fisticuffs that usually make for a smashing excellent time. Just make sure you have at least one human opponent to pound on.
Starting off with 14 characters (an additional 11 are waiting to be unlocked), the game has a pretty standard premise–let Nintendo’s stars beat on each other until the timer runs out. But, a lot of emphasis is place on knocking opponents off ledges while avoiding the same fate. In typical Nintendo manner, there are quite a few potential-ups to help you in the melee. The actual combat isn’t as intricate as in other fighting sports meeting; but, the ultra-cartoony layout of the many, many arenas sometimes adds a strategic element not usually found in similar titles.
Super Smash Bros. Melee’s strength lays in the mayhem made in four-player fights. The camera does an brilliant job of positioning itself so all combatants are constantly visible. Also, Melee sports some of the best visuals seen in a Nintendo product. All the characters are highly detailed, and the movements of each are smoothly infused with personality. Donkey Kong lumbers and Princess Peach fights with grace.
As the multiplayer mode is the key reason for this game’s being, the release-player mode is decidedly weak. The game features an adventure mode that plays somewhat like an ancient-school, side-scrolling Mario game. Sadly, despite its excellent looks, its gameplay is rather uninspired. This game is visibly at its best when there are two or more players with controllers in their hands. –Mark Brooks
Pros:
- Fantastic graphics and sound keep the action upbeat
- Many new characters and other goodies to unlock
Cons:
- Release-player experience is comparatively weak
- Too cute for a few folks
- Adventure mode is dull

After playing the original SSB, i thought it could get no worse. Boy was i incorrect. Not only is this game extremely childish and dull, but it requires 0 skill and the entire object of the game is to press buttons as quick as possible. Truely a colossal dissipate of time. SSB is a dissipate of cash, time, intelligence and anything excellent in a human being. If you are a fan, i know this is just opinion but please never play anything like this again. Bottom line: Knocking nintendo/baby characters off a platform with boxes, lightsabers and anything else a baby would find “cool.” This game simply sucks and i wish this could persuade you not to buy it.

This game is violent for 6 1/2 year olds. The game is one huge boxing event. Some of the kids that age really like it though.
Better game for 6 1/2 year olds is Double Dash which is a go kart racing event.

OK, I had this game on n64 and despised it. read all these reviews and rather than be suckered again i rented it. it is worse than the first one. like others, i reflect everyone that gave it 5 stars is 5 years ancient. it is very dull, simple, pointless, and flat out stupid. but hey, don’t listen to me, go dissipate 50 bucks. maybe you’ll get lucky and be able to sell it on ebay for 20 bucks…

i reflect the game stinks because the first one was nearly the same as this one. If you like excellent sports meeting, get another one because this one stinks on ice.
