Super Smash Brothers was an unexpected success when it started out in 1999, and now it's evolved into a flagship franchise for Nintendo, co-existing alongside Mario (and its many spin-offs), Zelda, Metroid and even recent mainstays like Pokemon. Brawl takes what made the earlier games great experiences and adds to them gorgeous refinement of the highest order: alongside one of the most cohesive recollections of Nintendo's longstanding history in the game industry (mentions as far and wide as (former Nintendo collaborator) Rareware's Nintendo 64 titles: Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark).
Super Smash Brothers has become THE fighting game to play at parties and e-sports events worldwide and for great reason: the franchise is a game that ceases to be fake in the collective minds of players everywhere. The stages are gorgeous, the fighting is immersive bliss and it's got that WARM Nintendo charm to it that only a handful of games can muster for me: like Super Mario 64 or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's Nintendo at its absolute best.
Brawl gets a golden 5/5 stars.
