The third installment in Nintendo's popular Super Smash Bros. fighter franchise debuts on the Wii in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Loaded with all the characters and features players have loved from the two previous versions, plus much more, it is a worthy addition to the series and yet another must-have title for the Nintendo Wii.

Characters: More Than Just Mario and Friends
The lifeblood of the Super Smash Bros. series has always been the depth of the character lineup that each installment has been able to bring and Brawl not only keeps with tradition, but does it one better. Just as in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros Melee, players can expect to pit their favorite Nintendo characters against each other in head-to-head and multiplayer battles, but instead of insisting on characters exclusively from the Nintendo universe, Brawl adds variety in the form of superstars Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake from Konami's Metal Gear franchise. This is a first-time addition and one that will delight veteran players and newbies alike. But these two characters are only a sampling of the new additions to the game's lineup. The other ten come from classic Nintendo titles and bring the complete lineup of playable characters to a whopping 25. See the full list on combatants below:
New Comers: Pit from the Kid Icarus series, Wario, Zero Suit Samus, Ike from the Fire Emblem series, Meta Knight and King Dedede from the Kirby series, Pokémon Trainer, Diddy Kong, Lucas from the Earthbound/Mother series, Pikimin and Olimar from the Pikmin series and of course Sonic and Solid Snake.
Returning Veteran Fighters: Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox McCloud, Samus, Zelda/Sheik, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Princess Peach and Ice Climbers from the NES title Ice Climber.
The Rules of the Brawl
As in previous releases in the series, Brawl places players within a different, but easy to use fighting system. Players choose a character, select one of the numerous stages--which are levels based in the game worlds represented in Super Smash Bros.-- and try to knock their opponents off the screen using a range of standard techniques and combos as well as a variety of special attacks and `Smash Moves' specific to their chosen character. A Smash Move can only be performed after securing a `Smash Ball.' These precious items, marked with the Smash Bros. logo, fall randomly and can be used by either player, but they must be cracked open before they can be used. To keep things interesting they can also can be stolen if not used right away, so when a player sees one it must be grabbed quickly and cracked to avoid an unfortunate turn of events.
Also, keeping with the game's "E" rating and player's affection for the characters, instead of displaying health bars the game uses a percent system to indicate character status and strength. The more damage done to a character, the higher the percentage and the farther back he/she is knocked back when struck by an opponent.
Many Ways to Play: Multiplayer and Single Player Options
Just as in previous installments of Super Smash Bros. there is fun to be had whether you choose to fight in multiplayer or single player mode, but Brawl again pushes the envelope even further by providing additional ways to play within these areas and the possibility of others added later. Here are just a few of the modes that you can expect to see:
Multiplayer
Standard Multiplayer Brawl - A standard battle between 2-4 players.
Special Brawl - Take down your friends in matches which you can customize with as many rules as you would like.
Tourney - Choose the number of players and rules you want and have at it in a round-robin battle against many foes.
Online Multiplayer - For the first time play against registered friends or randomly selected opponents from anyplace in the world via a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.
Single Player
Training - Start on the path to Brawling like a pro as you learn to string standard moves together into combos.
Classic - Fight your way through semi-randomly generated battles where each match features an arena or opponent from a particular game series and may feature unique battle conditions.
Stadium: Target Smash - Practice your aim as you break ten targets within a set time limit.
"Subspace Emissary" - The world of Smash Bros. is invaded by an entity called the Ancient Minister and his army, called "The Primid. As this villain starts turning characters into trophies to harness their power, declare a peace with your quarrelsome companions and work together to defeat the invaders in an engrossing side-scrolling adventure.
Stay in Control
Because the Super Smash Bros. series has a huge following and an even larger list of characters from the Nintendo catalog, it only makes sense that players may have a preference for a particular Nintendo controller from the era of their favorite game. Because of this the game's creators have incorporated all four of the major Nintendo controllers into the mix. Whether you prefer the Wii Remote, the Wii Remote with Nunchuck, the Wii Classic Controller or the GameCube Controller it makes no difference. All four are fully compatible with all the features of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, although the handling of each is a little different. Choose the one you are most comfortable with, or explore all your options. The choice is yours.
A Barrel Full of Customization
Finally, created with an eye towards providing year's worth of fun, Brawl comes with extensive built-in customization possibilities. Dive into the game's seemingly endless list of game modes/mini-games, battle stages, in-game items and musical playback options to make the game your own and Brawl the way you want to.

I Don't Like This Game AT ALL!
About myself, I've never been a Nintendo owner until the Wii. So I've never played any previous versions of this. It seems to me that this game is only fun for people who grew up playing other versions of this. There was so much Buzz about this game when it was coming out, I wanted to get it, which I regret. For me, it got boring really fast. It just seems like more of the same over and over again. I'd rather play Wii Sports Boxing, or even Punch-Out. My young son doesn't seem to like it much, either. He'll turn this game off in 10 minutes, where normally we have to force him to stop playing video games. Rent this one before deciding to buy.
Grandsons love it
I have never even played the game, but my grandsons love it and play it for hours. I bought it because they specifically requested it, so they had played it before. It continues to be a great success.
I have to drag my son off the wii!
He loves it. Best game ever he says. I didn't know if it would be appropriate for a 6 year old, but there is no blood, just fighting. He loves that every character has a special power. Highly recommend.
