Summary: unfulfilling and mind numbing
Comment: I got this game recently because I've always heard how great it is. I'm not a hardcore fighting game fan, but I do enjoy them from time to time. The problem is, being an older gentleman, I don't really have many friends who are into video games anymore, so I'm mostly confined to the single player elements in this game.
The thing is, this game looks like it was designed by a 12 year old on crack. There are literally a bajillion things flashing and moving around on the screen and the camera is constantly zooming in and out and panning all around to the point of melting my brain. Maybe it's just that I come from a different generation where I didn't need a million fireworks going off to be entertained. I don't know, but I don't find this to be an enjoyable experience. Some of the combat is fun, and I can see how playing it with a friend or two would be cool, but in some of the stages, I lose track of what's happening within seconds. I'm trying to execute a combo with full health, and all of a sudden something explodes and I'm flying across the map and getting a "failure" message.
I don't mind losing at games, but when it happens here, it doesn't feel deserved. It feels cheap.
I've noticed that this is a trend in a LOT of Nintendo's recent games lately. It's like they got tired of coming up with new and interesting challenges and decided that they would make their games near impossible by either throwing a thousand enemies at you in a way that you can't even follow what's happening and just have to mash buttons and hope for the best, or they set up obstacles that leave you wrestling with the analog stick for an hour.
It actually makes me angry, because Nintendo used to be the best game developer in the world. In some ways they still are, but I think they've forgotten what makes a good challenge and have opted for tests of patience and endurance instead.
In short, this game is not for me. [...]

Summary: An Amazing Fighting Game with the Characters from Nintendo!
Comment: Simply amazing. I can think of no two words that describe this Gamecube title better than that. As a sequel to the N64 smash hit, Super Smash Brothers, this game improves in every way over that title. From the graphics to the sound effects, SSBM is a solid hit to purchase if you still own a Gamecube. And for those Wii owners out there, why not own this to go with Super Smash Brothers Brawl? It would compliment it nicely on your gaming shelf.
I recently acquired another Gamecube, and this was one of the first titles I sought actively for it. Although there are characters that are similar to eachother in attack moves (Pichu and Pikachu, for example), the simple diversity of being able to play one of your favorite Nintendo characters makes this title a joy to own and play over and over again. There are many things I still need to unlock in this game, and I find myself playing it every single night right before I go to bed. It's that addictive and fun.
Pros:
Simple techniques let you get into the action right away
Choose your favorite Nintendo character and have at it!
Graphics and sound are top notch. Gameplay is a breeze to learn
Many unlockable areas and characters available
Multiplayer is fast, furious, and downright enjoyable
Cons:
Single player is a weak addition to the game
Many characters are downright identical to others
Takes a long time to unlock some characters you'd like to play sooner
Overall:
This game is one you must own if you have a Gamecube, or a Wii, for that matter. The price is still on the reasonable side, and you can get it cheaper as a "Player's Choice" title. Any Gamecube owner would do well to add this title to their collection. Get it....TODAY!

Summary: Super Smash brothers
Comment: The game arrived in a timely manner and even though it didn't have the instructions my son knew how to play. It was in excellent condition.

Summary: It's freakin Super Smash Bros!
Comment: Donate hours of your life to this extremely fun game. Go for single player adventures, unlock levels with special matches, or battle with combinations of friends & computers. It's a must-have for Gamecube.
Oh, and just a note: After fighting 2995 matches, you'll get an awesome message saying something like: "You completed your 2,995th match. That means you spent a penny on each one. Was it worth it?"

Summary: this game rocks!
Comment: Before you get this game, I want you to know a few things. first, this game has really good graphics, (most backround things are paper 3D though) this game is only left, right, duck, and jumpish, so there's no moving forward or backward, (unluckily for me, I didn't know that) multi player is the main thing, so I recomend you have 4 controlers, and 1 player mode is only to unlock new players to play in multi player. multi player is Sooo fun, and you can actualy unlock some places from the nintendo 64 vershion!
