(For those of you who are wondering I have the Japanese version of Brawl thats why Im doing this review so early)



WARNING! MAJOR CHARACTER AND STAGE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!



Super Smash Bros. Brawl (SSBB) is truly the best game in history! With a Wide-ish array of characters and stages, aswell as hundreds of soundtracks, SSBB is the game of Time!



When you first boot up the game you are treated to the most amazing game Intro in all of games. After that you may Brawl with anyone of the 21 selectable charcters.



To Unlock more characters you must either keep brawling or go through Sup-Space Emissary (SSE) the games full length Story mode. SSE is a difficult story - even on easy mode. It took me excacly 6 hours and 47 minutes to complete it. The cut-scenes are not voice or text driven but with a game like this it does'nt matter, Especially since all the cutscenes are awsome!!



The 3 Stadium events from melee are back and play about the same as Melee. However the Target tests only have 5 levels that all characters use instead of each character having their own Target Test...you may also team up with a friend on WiFi or Local Mustiplayer. (except for Multi-Man Bawl)



Event matches, Training, All-Star, classic, Boss Rush, its all here.



You can collect Music Trophies and Stickers by Brawling or going through SSE - and beleive me there are ALOT of each.



However with greatness, no game is perfect. Brawl only has 35 playable characters, And while that is alot the fact the CLONES are back makes it seem like to few characters...



Another gripe is the stage builder, while it is awsome in many ways it still is lacking. For excample you can't draw what goes on a block (Like a design) and there are few peices to choose from...and theres only 3 backgrounds...AND you can only use like 1/4 of the stage before you get "We're sorry this stage is to big" messege...don't get me wrong the stage builder is great but still lacking...if there is one thing truly great about the stage builder its that you can use anyone of the 300+ Soundtracks in Brawl!!



WiFi howver is awsome...with friends...infact I live in the US and I can't play with anyone because Nintendo of Japan blockms US connections...however I did play a many of WFC battles with friends and even tho some of them live in Japan and Europe there was next to NO lag at all. You can also spectate Random WFC maches. Nintendo says the match is live I say otherwise since I have'nt seen any hidden characters or hidden stages on Spectator mode.



There is so much to do, so many modes, so many unlockable things, with a total of 130 challenges aswell as characters and stages. Brawl is truly awsome.



With 600+ Stickers, 500+ trophies, 100+ challnges, Unlimited stages and a awsome character roster, Brawl is truly the game of time!
