Review: Super Smash Bros. Melee (Gamecube)

Graphics- 9/10
Sound- 10/10
Gameplay- 10/10
Replay Value- 8.5/10
Overall-9/10

Super Smash Bros. Melee was a great almost launch title for the Gamecube. I know it was the first game I wanted for it. The game has good graphics, is glitch free, and, as always with the series, a must have for a gamer gathering.

This game is very similar to the N64 version with the exception of new characters and updated graphics. The single player in this game is massively addictive, not only because you can unlock new characters, but you can also unlock trophies. The multiplayer in this game (as in N64) is pretty much the reason the you should buy the game (if you have four controllers... and friends.) Event mode is nice and plays well, as well as adding a nice challenge to the game. The bad thing about this game is that it can get boring after awhile but that phase should pass quickly and you'll playing once again. The sound in this game is really good and is nicely timed with cool visual effects. This was definitely the game to have when Gamecube came out and it still is the game to have when you and your friends get together.

Pros: Multiplayer. Visual effects. Good replay value.
Cons: Some people might get bored of it - not many.

I've been playing Smash Bros. for years, awesome game! Having two friends that I'm about equal with makes the game so much more enjoyable. And it rarely gets boring.
