JamesWFeb 5, 200910It's not trying to reinvent the series, so don't expect that. What you should expect is the biggest homage to Nintendo ever, with great gameplay (single, co-op, multiplayer or online) to boot. Highly recommended.

DavidC.Mar 10, 200810This is a rare game in the fact that the few negatives are completely over-shadowed by the immense positives. If you have a Wii you must buy this game. If you don't have a Wii, you should go buy one and then buy this game.

MarcusN.Mar 1, 200810Bar far the greatest game of the century. Sakurai done his best and we should admire his masterpiece. 10/10

AllanK.Mar 11, 200810This game is so sweet! Making maps. Playing wonderful multiplayer. Great minigames and long adventure!
-
-
TerryB.Mar 10, 20089The whole game is head and shoulders above melee, but it's a cruel joke that the fastest way to unlock all the characters is in that godawful Subspace Emissary mode.
-
-
A.G.Mar 10, 20089A bit sluggish (think 64 style, rather than Melee) but with all the modes, challenges, and extras...Brawl will never collect dust.

SethM.Mar 13, 200810anyone who gave this game lower than a 10 is a retard.
this game is incredible, not only as looks go, but gameplay as well. the wifi capabilities take the mayhem further. the story mode was great as always and keeps you guessing. great game, nintendo really scored a hit with this one. -
-
AliK.Mar 14, 200810A deep single player mode and overall fantastic.
-
-
TyeH.Mar 1, 200810This is by far the best game i have every played in my entire life, it is equal in awsomness to Zelda Ocarina of Time in my opinion!
-
-
JulianA.Mar 20, 200810I think that this is by far, the best game I've played in my gaming experience. Beating all of my owned games, except Super Monkey Ball 2, It is pleasure to my ears and mind.
-
-
MarioL.Mar 4, 200810Best game for the wii for sure.
-
-
AnnaS.Mar 4, 200810I enjoy this game and so does my little cousin.
-
-
SamuelMar 4, 200810This is the most revolutionary game ever to be invented you would really have to be challenged to give this game anything less than what it deserves, a 100/100
-
-
ShaequanR.Mar 5, 200810How could you give this game anything less than 100%
-
-
KobeeH.Mar 7, 200810So far. So good. played it for about half and hour. The 10 is jumping off point til I go much much deeper. Hopefully the scare stands with my full review.
-
-
AlexS.Mar 8, 200810This is the best console game I have ever played.
-
-
FowlerS.Mar 9, 20089Great party game. Lots of options. Fun single player mode!
-
-
MichaelApr 13, 200810You know a game is awesome when the only bad thing people say about it is that 'it didnt reinvent the series'. Smash players don't want a reinvention, they want more content! We've all been spoiled by melee, and Sakurai delivers even more than any of us thought possible. I'm still playing melee, and I'll still be playing brawl in 10 years time!
-
-
DanielApr 1, 200810A thoroughly fantastic and magical experience.
-
-
NintendoNerdsApr 18, 20089Awesome game. The more I play it, the more addicted I come.
-
-
BobAndrewsApr 2, 200810This is the best game ever rate this game a ten.
-
-
JeffS.Apr 2, 200810Perfect! this game is awesome. wow whoever gives this any lower than a 7 is seriously a miserable man with no friends. the single player mode is great enough for it, BUT MULTIPLAYER OWNS. it took me a long time to complete and still i am not done...good job nintendo
-
-
BrandonB.Apr 2, 200810This game sweats amazing, if you want a Wii game, and your one of the nine people that doesn't own Brawl, then go to your local retailer and get a freakin' copy already!
-
-
JailS.Apr 25, 200810This is the best game on the Wii, even if the online service is rather lukewarm- But who cares, you get to beat the crud out of people from around the world or your friends, AND you get to shame them with your taunts.
-
-
RobertGApr 4, 200810Good game over all
-
-
GerardW.Apr 7, 200810Best bloody game ever hands-down. The only people who vote it down are the people who whine about it being "overhyped." Ridiculous, just enjoy the game!!
-
-
ErnieU.May 4, 200810I thnk its the best game on this console great graphic improvment and gameplay expecially the final smash.
-
-
AlecC.May 5, 200810The epitome of multi-player gaming action. Enough content to last another decade. Too much depth to be called a "Fighting Game."
-
-
CalebraD.May 5, 200810The best the Wii has to offer. Worth buying a Wii for. A must have for any gamer.
-
-
NathanW.Jul 1, 200810It's effectively a love letter to Nintendo fans after over 20 years of wonderful treats and treasures, crammed full of references and easter eggs that will make you smile like a clown on nitrous oxide.
-
-
DivineStormJul 5, 200810Probably one of the best games ever. Maybe even better than tekken 3,castlevania symphony of the night,super mario galaxy and metroid prime.
-
-
BryanPopeJan 30, 200810With the combination of heroes and villains from some of the most epic games from now to 20 years ago, dozens of beautifully orchistrated music and a TON of maps from several memorable occasions in gaming history, not to mention a solid background of 2 already masterfully crafted fighting games, Brawl is expected to be a perfect game, and anyone dares admit it.
-
-
JermaulW.Oct 9, 200810This game has the everything that melee didn't. The only characters that i don't like are Jigglypuff, Sonic, and . I love everybody else. It also helps that I'm really good at it. I tested it out on online (friend got to it) and is was tested out as a level 26. THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!
-
-
ClovisJuniorFeb 28, 200810This game its perfect. Best Wii game I ever played... A realy MUST HAVE !!
-
-
SergioA.Feb 29, 200810It was just put together so amazingly.
-
-
TraceMartelFeb 5, 200810Super Smash Brothers Brawl has acheived perfection in its series and is more exciting and fun now more than ever. With easy to use controls, tons of game modes, hundreds of unlockables, over 40 stages to brawl at, and a variety of characters to choose from; this game will have you coming back for more and more over the years to come.
-
-
DavisWondersFeb 8, 200810I've only had the game for three days now, and I can easily and honestly say it is the best game on the Wii. It easily beats out its predecessors, SSB and SSBM, by a long shot. It's easily three games in one with the Sub Space Emissary, more than 300 songs (wow), and the multiplayer aspect, not to mention online. It is truly a masterpiece and a must have.
-
-
JamesH.Mar 11, 200810It's more than likely the reason you bought a Wii. And if you didn't know about it's predecessor, Melee, and you're not sure about this one, trust me, It's worth your 50 bones. Hope to see you all on wifi play. (If Nintendo's servers can ever handle the load)
-
-
TylerMar 10, 200810Awesome Awesome Awesome. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, its a smooth ride. If this game doesnt deserve a 10 NOTHING DOES.

JoE.Mar 13, 200810If you have a wii go buy it. end of story. ignore all the zeros, those are from people who sit in their room playing wow all day with no friends and are likely to become homocidal maniacs. or are emos, whatever floats your boat. if you liked melee youll love this one.
-
-
BriannaK.Mar 13, 200810People who think this is not much of a step up from melee's graphics need to play one of the melee stages available in Brawl. You'll feel like barfing, the difference is that profound.
-
-
DanA.Mar 14, 200810One of the most amazing games ever made. Not as good as Super Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess, but definitely securing it's third place spot on the Wii's game library.
-
-
JeddyB.Mar 14, 200810Marvelous good fun.
-
-
BrianM.Mar 14, 20089One of the best smash bros within it's series.
-
-
DiegoR.Mar 15, 200810One of the few must own games on the Wii. Steady framerate despite all the action with the fighters and the background. Roster is steady enough, and newcomers like Olimar and Snake give a whole new feeling to the game when fighting with, or against, them.
-

JustinE.Mar 15, 20089

-
TuanX.Mar 16, 200810One of the greatest games ever!
-

JayM.Mar 17, 200810Hours and hours of fun. Best party game ever made.
-
-
DerikH.Mar 17, 200810Very impressive game, I have been waiting a long time for this to come out. I enjoy getting together with my friends often to play this just as we had with melee. GJ nintendo!
-
-
LouisF.Mar 19, 200810This is one of the greatest games ever since the first Super Smash Bros. and completley exceeding Melee. It has lots more characters, stages and a real story-like classic mode, including the old style as well.
-
-
BrianD.Mar 19, 200810LOL I love all the 0-3 scores of these trolls who obviously haven't played the game. Particularly the one who claims he "cant see his health". Of course he could just be plain stupid.
-
-
Mr.ThukuMar 2, 200810This is true love to all the people who own a wiiits like Miyamoto went to the promise land praised god for the perfect game and actually got it and returned to the present day.
-
-
KaJaMar 2, 200810Brawl is a super smash bros. so it is awesome! The Super Smash Bros series is Nintendo's best series and will always be the best until it dies!
-
-
FranciszekK.Mar 24, 200810Fanboy Present T. blatantly hasn't played this game. Nintendo have proven their worth yet again, and released what is undoubtedly another contender for Game of the Year. If this were the case that only Nintendo fanboys would like this, then it wouldn't be scoring so highly everywhere.
-
-
SamG.Mar 3, 200810This game is so incredibly awesome. The characters are great and the storylline is very entertaining! The music is good and theirs a lot of it and the stages are fun and interesting
-
-
ScottW.Mar 4, 200810This is quite possibly the best game of this generation, the best game on the Wii, the best selling game on the Wii and Game of the Year! Everyone must buy a Wii and this game!
-
-
JamesL.Mar 5, 200810Amazing game, must buy.
-
-
LukeP.Mar 6, 200810This game is really fun and I love it. Its my favorite game ever and I love smash!
-
-
VivD.Mar 9, 200810It's a classic! Hard to top out.
-
-
PeterApr 20, 200810Spartian Gamer1342 What do you think this game is? Doom 3? This game is awesome. More unlockables than you can find in a safehouse, though the Wii Remote alone would sour some of the experience.
-
-
ZackD.Apr 23, 200810Brawl really achieves what was expected from it. Not only is the mulitplayer just as good as melee (with extra characters to make it better), but the new one player modes make the game endless fun.
-
-
RandyY.Apr 29, 200810There is really nothing bad I can say.
-
-
JordiR.Apr 3, 200810This game is amazing and I think it's the best fight game I played ever.
-

MickyWApr 4, 200810Best Smash Bros game to date.

BengtL.May 1, 200810It's absolutely fantastic!
-
-
NicholasA.May 20, 200810It's a pretty great game, I'm not sure whether it's better than melee competitively though.
-
-
PtolemyMay 23, 20089Its a love letter to all Nintendo fans. Its got great multiplayer and tons of stuff for the completionist in you. I can't give it a perfect score because its not for everyone. But, for dyed in the wool Nintendo fans, its a perfect 10 all the way.
-
-
AnonymousConnorMay 24, 200810All these people who say it's overrated obviously are mentally challenged or they need to hang themselves from meathooks. Easily earns a 10.

AlvinH.Jun 1, 200810Someone gave it a 0 which is just being ignorant and it made me really angry because for what's out for the Wii right now it's the best of the best.
-
-
TimJ.Jun 27, 200810Great game, great action.
-
-
AlexM.Jun 30, 200810Good...no... great, no... AMAZING game. it lasts forever, and is even greater fun with more than one person. you can have tournaments, bets, and who knows what else. just get it. Trust me.
-
-
EtuS.Jun 8, 200810This is just awesome! The best game ever!
-
-
JoshuaD.Jul 1, 200810I've had this game for at least 4 months now, and I still don't have all the challenges complete. When my friends come over, the first thing we do is play ssbb. Good job Nintendo for making one of the best video games that the Wii has to offer.
-
-
Novi4ekNoneJul 24, 200810good game

JoseCJun 25, 200910Sorry Ray A, but i need to say that you are an idiot, this is the best WII game released until now, you are an idiot if you dont know Marth, if you wanna know hwo Marth is, just get his Trophy in the game and you will get an Info, at least i know that you are the only guy in your school that thinks that the brawl sucks, it makes you sad and an emo kid and you blame brawl for that.
-
-
TjthegamerNov 12, 200810Brawl is clearly the best fighting game on the Wii even for years to come. Brawl offers infinate replayability with it's never ending trophey and sticker collection and online muiltiplayer modes. Add the much impressive Subspace emissionary, chaotic muiltiplayer, and level builder (which could use some work...), and you've got one great experiance for Wii not to be missed.
-
-
JimmyC.Feb 29, 200810Had the chance to try this out, and it's awesome! I didn't know there was room, but it's a vast improvement over melee in just about everything.
-
-
MaxG.Mar 11, 200810Amazing game with unlimited replayability. The only immediate downside was the seemingly floaty physics compared to Melee, but it's something you quickly get used to and move beyond. Fighting at it's finest, and the Wii at its best.
-
-
KasilB.Mar 12, 200810Despite a disappointing character roster (compared to many peoples' expectations, at least), this game is amazing. From SSE to Co-op modes and online, this game vastly improves from the predecessors while still keeping the general gameplay the same and the tradition alive.
-
-
RyneG.Mar 13, 200810don't listen to Crazychief112, he don't know what he talking, this is one of the best game ever, and if you don't like the wii remote you can just use the gamecube controller, or the classic wii remote, so like I say before don't listen to Crazychief112

GeneG.Mar 16, 20089Didn't play Melee; clearly I'm in the minority on that one; but I have already got more enjoyment out of this game than I did out of the similarly priced Halo 3. This is a lovingly crafted game with hours and hours of enjoyment. I'm glad I bought it.
-
-
EvanB.Mar 17, 200810Yahoo Games and thewiire.com both gave this game a "10", so I thought I would increase the score. I have played this game for over 10 hours now, and it is FANTASTIC! The best replay value I have ever seen in a game!
-
-
ZacH.Mar 18, 200810This game was the fastest-selling game ever. Packed with as much content as a dual-layer dvd can hold, it has everything you could ever want from the series. The new story mode, "Subspace Emissary", the map builder mode, and being able to play online makes it that much better.
-
-
LydellF.Mar 24, 200810Never cared for this series, and had to actually be at my cousin's house to see the new one in action. Tried out the adventure mode and couldn't resist the Old School charm especially with Kid Icarus. I bought one within 24 hours.
-

JustinB.Mar 25, 200810Amazing.. that's really all I can say.

100Brawl is easily the most fun I’ve had on a Wii, and could be the most fun I’ve had with a game in ages. It’s just that good. There is just so much to do, and so many different and refreshing things added that it would be a crime not to at least take a look.
-
100Rarely has any title delivered so much amazing action, such a wide variety of modes, and so many hours of value. It doesn't get any better than this. [Mar 2008, p.82]
-
100It’s obvious that developer Game Arts have put a painstaking amount of effort into creating this game and every time we play it we’re discovering new Nintendo references which bring back a rush of nostalgia. Brawl’s chaotic multiplayer sessions are some of the best to be had on the system, plus there are plenty of challenges and modes to amuse those ‘friend-impaired’ individuals out there as well. It’s a no-brainer, every serious Nintendo fan out there should score themselves a copy of this game, invite some friends/victims around, and have a smashing good time.
