Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001 Video Game)
The best fighting game around (Video Game)
29 December 2005
I'm a fan-boy for Nintendo, and games like these are why.

Super Smash Brothers Melee (or whatever the IMDb title says) is one of the best games for Gamecube...ever! It is the sequel to the inferior Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo 64, which took characters from classic Nintendo games, and made them fight. Unlike the original, which had 8 characters, Super Smash Brothers Melee has 25! Each character is varies, though some are clones of another, just with different speed and power. Each character's strengths and weaknesses depend on many factors, such as the power of a certain move to the speed of how fast they fall. Each character has a set of different attacks. Some can shoot lasers from far away. Some don't have any long-distance moves, and have to approach the enemy first, before attacking. Others can copy their enemies attacks. And, it keeps going on and on. The only characters with the same attacks as the other are the clones. (If you don't know, clones have the same attacks as another character, but they have a different appearance, speed and power.) The game also offers many places to fight, which are usually settings from the character's video games. Just like the characters, the stages vary a lot. One of them scrolls up and down. Another provides obstacles which can turn an entire fight around. A third one is set on a race track. There are plenty of other variations, from the shape to the obstacles.

The game has even more to offer, but I don't even want to get into the single-player mode, or the items you use for combat.

The best thing about it is that it never gets old. I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago, and still enjoy playing it! Even if it is a side-scroller, it will never disappoint.

10/10

Good: Variation, plenty to unlock, many extras, and never gets old.

Bad: ...
