Let’s Brawl!
Six years after Super Smash Bros. Melee, Nintendo has finally released a to sequel to their best selling fighting game. Super Smash Bros. Brawl includes characters from all of Nintendo’s most popular games, such as Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda. The battles are simple enough so that anyone can just pick up a controller and fight. However, hardcore gamers will likely have their favorite character’s moves and combos memorised. This is one of Wii’s best party games yet. You can fight with up to four characters at a time. Although Brawl’s graphics are only marginally improved over the the SSB Melee, Nintendo has added a bunch of extras that will make any fan happy. You can unlock trophies of your favorite characters and objects. Also, each level now has several music tracks to choose from. There are also secrets to unlock throughout the game.
The characters in the game are greatly imbalanced. I have yet to figure out how to play with Olimar effectively. Meta Knight, Snake, and King Dedede were my favorite new characters. Other new characters also include Pokemon Trainer (3 characters in one), Pit, Wario, Snake, and Sonic the Hedgehog, and more. In addition to the group and solo mode, there is the new The Subspace Emissary, which is basically a story adventure mode to unlock new characters, levels, and items. You can play this mode solo or co-op. When you play this game, I highly recommend bringing out your old GameCube Controller or purchase a Classic Controller. Although you can play with the Wiimote, it isn’t as easy or as comfortable to hold.

Agreed, Gamecube controller is the way to play

I agree about Olimar: I simply don’t like play him. I know it’s one part of the game, but I judge characters by how good their special move is. (I love Snake’s grenade launcher, and Captain Falcon’s seems pretty much a character killer every time.) Ganondorf is almost an exception: while I like his special move, he’s pretty slow otherwise.
