You know when your heart stops when you get something great? Super Smash Bros. Brawl is that something great.
Graphics: 9/10
The graphics really improved from Melee. The only thing is that the screen is way too far away. Maybe it could move such as in Soul Calibur. But, on the other hand, I don't have to grab my contacts to see these graphics. The movie segments also are clear and have good quality.
Controls: 9.5/10
The moves are average in this game, but the quickness and ability of the controls really stuns me. It is so amazing that I can't keep the controller of my wrist. When I mean the moves are average, some of them are, such as Metaknight, Pikachu, Kirby, Luigi, and others.
Gameplay: 9.8/10 There is so much to do in this game, you will never be bored. The Adventure Mode is very organized and in-depth. However, it is particulary easy until you get to last stage. If you think Taboo is easy, then you're on video game roids. Also, Classic mode is great, but why would you want to do target smash twice? Also, Boss Battles suck, and are simple.
Multiplayer: 10/10 Smash Bros. is the greatest multiplayer series of all-time. You can do brawl mode, tournaments up to 32, event matches, boss battles, special brawl, training, and more! It is also a lot of fun to play on Wi-Fi or rub your win in your friends/enemies' faces!
Characters: 9.5/10 The characters are a blast to play with. They have a wide range of variety, and are exciting to unlock. However, I would've like to see Paper Mario, Boo, Paper Bowser, Bowser Jr., Birdo, Master Hand, and Taboo as playable characters (or at least a few from that list). Also, they should take Olimar out of the list; he is useless and bad without Pikmin. Other than that, I love Ike, Wolf, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Samus, and others. I love the Final Smash features for each player, except Luigi and Peach (no damage). However, Luigi should've had vacuum suck as his B move (Luigi's Mansion), and not fireball. If you want to use fireball, use Mario. Also, I'm glad they got rid of Pichu and Dr. Mario, but how could you replace Mewtwo with Lucario? Oh well, it still gets a 9.5/10.
Fun: 10/10 It's a blast to play, and it is addictive, but GIVE ME MORE!
GRAND TOTAL: 9.63/10 (had to round to a 9.5, though)
Thank you for reading this review and I appreciate your time. Peace!
