im notthe biggestfan of metal gear. gran tourismo, final fantasy GTA, or halo. i prefer splinter cell, arcade racers and military shooters. dont get me wrong....i like the above listed games, i just wouldnt buy them. they are all overhyped games in my opinion.

but to me, smash bro. isnt worth $10. ive never understood the hype and love for such a horrible game. it gets my vote as the most over-rated game ever. what is yours?

Not at all. It's AA across the board. If anything, it's underrated.

No, it's a AA franchise and that's what it deserves. If Any of the games got AAA, then that game would be over rated.

I don't think its even near to being the most over-rated franchise. Anything that brings the classics nes characters and more in one game with gameplay that was enjoyed on the N64 and GC is bound to be at least better than ssbm which I still think is one of the best multiplayer games ever.

It is my favorite fighting series. One of my favorite games of all time was super smash brothers melee. The only reason why I still own a wii.

personally ive never understood the hype of arcade racers and military shooters

as far as party games i prefer something quirky without being overly generic

also something that even unexperienced have a level playing field in... i dont like inviting friends over and then dominating them in games that only i own

I agree with that.



Yeah, i agree somehwat.. depends who's hyping it....

Me, its a must. I will get this game... Melee was amazing, over 300 hours of gaming joy. And now, with online and a great one player/co-op adventure.... i'm ready to just cry with joy. ANYWAY, i think people who say its the god of all games, is a bit much. It should be owned by almost every wii owner for the simple fact its GREAT pick up and play, I've played it every month since i got it..... And then for those who love to master it, it offers hours upon hours of honing skills and becoming quite the fighter. It isn't perfect in anyway, it could always use more content, more polish, more anything, but for what you get, its worth it.

Melee wasn't a 10/10 nor will brawl, but it certainly gives fans of the series more than enough. Its not "The END ALL BE ALL" game many people try to say it is, and honestly, it won't bring "THAT" many people to buy wiis, but it will sell strong till teh day the wii dies.

Overated, not really. 8.9 for Melee was fairly close, i would say around 9.1-9.4 and probably the same for brawl.
Over hyped... yes. It won't be as amazing as some like to hope, but it offers something MANY people can enjoy.

Nah, Smash Bros. is a whole lot of fun. If you play it by yourself it can get boring but playing with friends almost never gets old.

Only thing that is overrated is how some people are hyping this game, like one of my friends. He's hyping it like it will be the best game ever. Period. No question. The game will be good and probably a hell of a lot of fun, but its just getting annoying the hype surrounding it. Of course, this can be said for many many other games.

I can't wait for it though.

i have to agree, but for the person who says the falling off platforms is bad..., then that is what they should at least try.. but yes, i agree. The dymanics of a stage and the boundries are a lot more fun.

Not anymore. You can change the percentage of health in Brawl. In SSBM it was pretty bad though...

They really should have a facepalm smiley these days. Apparently, calling something one of the best games ever is something that only a 6-year-old would do. Some people here having been playing Melee for that long, anyway.

I kind of agree...Ive only played it for 10 minutes total in my entire life time, and it was fun for maybe 6 of those minutes. It just seems really repetative, and very button masher-ish (which tons of you people deny for some reason, i read an entire thread trying to convince people it wasnt a button masher and it actually takes a lot of skill (i could make that arguement for any game if i choose the right words))

Its alright, not buy an entire console to play it good...but the fact its on the Wii and i have aboslutely nothing else to play on the Wii will prob make me buy it just because...

In terms of the most annoying fanbase, Smash Bros takes the cake. If you go over the the Smash Bros forum and say one negative thing about the game, you get instantly flame by 10 people. It is quite pathetic.

Smash Brothers Is the best Fighting series I've ever played. Everyone is entitled to enjoy the games they like, and Smash Brothers is great fighting game. If I remember right SSBM outsold every Gamecube game. So I'm sure it not a bad game. It ok if you don't like, no game can ever interest everyone it impossable.

By the way Tails PWNS, best of the Sonic characters. You don't have to be young to like characters like that. I wish he was in Brawl.

Its a great game but it is severely overhyped. The most overated game ever is Bioshock though.

That's odd, I played the last one that didn't have all of the cool features to death, hell I still play it daily.
