Introduction:

Many of you are wondering when another cool fighting game will come out. Well, maybe you should stick with the game I'm reviewing. The all-time classic, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Personally it's a breathtaking experience, but very addictive. I enjoyed it. I hope you'll enjoy it after this review.

Story:

It all started in early 1999 when the original Super Smash Bros. was created for the N64. After that was done they had nothing to do but to work on the newest thing at the time, Gamecube. Then one of the creators had the idea of putting Super Smash Bros. onto the Gamecube. Of course it took a long to make it but they finally did it. The game was released in 2001, a couple of months after the introduction of the Gamecube. Many gamers rushed to stores and malls all across America to get this unique game. Who wouldn't?

Gameplay:

The gameplay on this was astounding. They even had a single button melee for beginners. For advanced players such as myself the combos worked well together. Out of 10 I give the gameplay a 7.8. There are but some minor tweaks involving button mashing and flicking your control stick.

I give the gameplay: 7.8/10

Graphics:

This version's graphics were enhanced so much you could see the stitches in Mario's overalls. Most of the graphics flow smoothly. I give it an 8.4 out of 10 because parts of the character's body go through another if they get too close, and it frustrates me.

I give the graphics: 8.4/10

Sound:

The sound was incredible. Very detailed on Link's sword clashing. And the music was phenomenal. They've even included a music menu when you beat most of the game. Also hidden in the game are the original songs and worlds from the Original Super Smash Bros.; including Kongo Jungle and Yoshi's Island. I'll give the sound an 8.5 out of 10.

I give the sound: 8.5/10

Replayability:

Just like the original SSB you can play as many times as you want. It's just as fun playing over and over again. And it's great practice too. Out of 10 I give it a 9.

I give the replayability: 9/10

Challenge:

The challenge in this game is quite annoying for a lot of gamers. If you put it on normal many say it's too hard. But also makes for great training on your combos and dodges. I'll give the game's challenge an 8.6 out of 10.

I give the challenge: 8.6/10

Frustration

The frustration in this game has a wide variety. From slightly annoying to "God dammit! I can't beat this game!!!" frustration types. Not many players are that frustrated with the game, so I'll give it a 4.7 out of ten.

I give the frustration: 4.7/10

Overall:

Overall, this game is one to definitely remember. Great fighting style, nice graphics, and more characters. A huge amount of levels as well as excellent combos. I' give this game a 9.7 out of 10. I would have gave it a perfect but the graphics needed more work.

I give Super Smash Bros. Melee: 9.7/10

Conclusion:

In conclusion, this game has changed the face of most Nintendo characters. I would like to see more of these games in the near future, and I hope you would like to see another Super Smash Bros. soon, right? Please, Nintendo, make another! Hope you liked my review on Super Smash Bros. Melee.
