- Best game ever?
First of all: how dare anyone say this is rubbish?? It is definitely the best game ever on Wii and possibly one of the best games ever. This is the Halo 3 of Wii. It is already at the top of the charts and has only been out for 4 days(at time of writing this review)!! If you have a Wii, any sense at all and enjoy playing games this game is for you.

- Still the best multiplayer out there!
I'll address this review to people who aren't too familiar with Smash Bros, since those who are, probably already have the game and don't need any convincing from me.
Basically this is a very unique fighter since instead of walking around, trying to depleat each other's health bars (yawn), you jump around building up you opponents' damage. The aim is to knock your opponent off the screen using a huge variety of moves and techniques, and the more damage they have, the further they fly. Of course the game is packed with old and new Nintendo characters, plus Solid Snake and Sonic. The game is very wacky and Japanese-y so don't expect it to make a whole lot of sense.
SINGLE PLAYER- The thing to remember is that this is a multiplayer game. Single player is really there to brush up on your skills for your next multiplayer match. Of course single player is good fun- but not the key focus of the game. The new Adventure mode (subspace emissary) is so-so. You play through arcade-style levels. Whilst it's cool seeing your favourite characters from different games interact, it's a shame that the levels aren't set in the characters' games (levels and most enemies are just unique "Smash bros" ones). All this is still a great addition for old Nintendo fans, but definitely not the primary reason for buying the game.
ONLINE- You can play against friends online, with loads of options, but so far I have only tried random matchmaking. Two problems I found with this was: Long waiting time to connect to other players, and some laggy slowed-down play. As I understand, however , playing friends online is a much better experience.
NINTENDO NOSTALGIA- This game is packed with it. All I need to point out in this category is: If you don't know much about Nintendo and it's past games, a lot of the game's elements will be lost on you. But that's not to say you won't enjoy it.
So overall I'd highly reccommed this game, just as long as you know what you're getting. People who buy this based on hype alone with no understanding of what the game's about may fail to grasp the nature of it (which is always the case when someone has a negative opinion of it). But if you have a wii, a few mates (if they're Nintendo fans that's even better), and a touch of competitiveness, then chances are that you'll be enjoying this for years to come.
Rating: - -SSBB- Has it delivered?
First off the graphics, i was surprised how good they wer, this is a wii afterall and previous wii games have been below par in terms of graphics, but not SSBB.
But...is it that much different to SSB Melee?...not really, yes ther are more characters and things but the ones that are in the 1st one do almost exactly the same attacks...and the controls arn't very inventive, you have the ability to use the IR and all the clever things that the wii is all about but no...you might as well be using a bog standard boring controller. So poor show there but overall i would highly recommend this game, it is one of the best games out for the wii...
I was getting bored with my wii seeing as the only good game came free with the wii [wii sports] but now ill be wiiing for a good few more months...:)

- Fun game but online problems a let down.
OK, not much to add to other people's comments regarding the game. Most people will have played previous versions and be aware of what it's all about. Gameplay is good, frantic and fun. Great list of characters and stages from nintendo games past and present.
However....online play (being one of the main reasons I purchased this game) is shocking. You can barely ever find a match online. I've probably logged in to online play via wifi 10 times so far over the weekend, and I've found just 1 match in that time. Even then, the match suffered lag for the first 20 seconds. Apparently if you use friend codes instead of just playing against anyone, the problem is improved. You shouldn't have to be forced just to play against your friends though. I've played other games via nintendo wifi today, so it's not my connection that's the problem.
Single player is entertaining, the story mode is reasonable, but the big selling point for me with this game was the online multiplayer, and with that pretty much not functioning at all, it's a disappointment overall.
I'm not saying don't buy it, but just be aware of the problems, if you are intending to play online.

This is a really good game. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a beat-em-up, it's done in a very comical way and is hilarious.
I play this with my brother and we have a great time.
What more can I say? FIVE STARS!!!
