Summary

I hate giving anything a perfect score, but if any game for the GameCube deserves one, Super Smash Brothers Melee is that game. BUY IT!

Sound

I found the score and sound effects in this game to be so good that I ordered the orchestrated version on CD from Nintendo Power and I still listen to it. Simply the best.

Gameplay

I picked this game up when I first bought my GameCube back in 2001, and even then, when I was just a lad of thirteen, I was utterly stunned by the incredible gameplay that this game offers. It is flawless.

Summary

First off, in late 2001, when the three console kings were all on the market, I chose PlayStation 2. My friend purchased a Gamecube instead. One of the three games he had was Super Smash Brothers Melee, and how ironic it seems that it was the only game we played on his Gamecube. He didn't even bother bringing the case to put it in, he kept it in the Gamecube without ever taking it out. We played this game tons of times, and we played multiplayer with 4 people at my cousin's house. It is, hands down, the best fighting game I've ever played. We even held our own little tournaments, and wrote down on pieces of paper, tournament style, who won and who was next. In all, I estimate I played about 5 or so hours of this game. But that will all change. Two years later, I am getting ready to purchase a Gamecube, along with it one game - Super Smsh Bros. Melee. It's that good.

Sound

Mwahahaha.... sorry. I was remembering the sound Pikachu makes when he flies off of the stadium. The sound isn't the best part of the game, and neither is the music. For those of you who dont like the repetitive theme song of Mario, u may want ot see if there's a sound effects and music effects option where you can turn the sound effects up and the music down. But the sound didn't bother me, because I was to occupied trying to cream my friend's character. If you want a good laugh, turn up the sound and knock Mario off the stadium. Mama Mia!!!

Gameplay

The controls are great for button mashers, yet great for true born fighters. If someone is new to the game, they can still whup some butt, and if someone likes memorizing button combonations, or has a very good hand-eye coordination, then they will also enjoy this game. I like how there are unlockable characters, and attainable trophies. This game unlocks the true potential of Gamecube: playing games. There are so many mini games in Super Smash Bros. Melee, even the end credits has a shooter mini game. I simply like the game for its continuous, easy gameplay.

Sound

sound can get repetitive, but the rest of the game more than makes up for it.

Gameplay

With only 8 buttons and two important control sticks, this game is very easy to play with. It has new features from the old one including

-new characters, such as pichu or the paper-thin Mr. Game and Watch
-A brand new adventure mode
-51 event matches, from the crazy hand to giga bowser
-the all new coin match, a competition for coins, and the homerun contest.
-new stages
-an all new trophy system. some trophies are as easy as winning it in the lottery, and some require near impossible, like getting all 249 possible bonus's
-different taunts for some charaters

the one player places don't use the c-stick, but in vs mode the c-stick is your best friend.
hidden stages and characters make this game challenging. can you unlock all 25 charcters and acess all-star mode? there are game secrets, like the giant kirby in adventure mode, or the crazy hand in classic mode. a really complex and awesome game. this game took time to make, and it shows.
