It beats Melee, that's for sure.

User Rating: 10 | Super Smash Bros. Brawl WII
I'm just gonna assume that this is the best of the series because I've never played the original N64 version. I'm given it a 10. There are some things I like better in Melee, but they're made up for by the overall awesomness of the game. The graphics are good, the gameplay is good, everything is freaking awesome. The coolest addition is all the new characters. The Final Smash thing is good except my brother always gets it. That's the only way he can beat me but he claims that he's way better than me. Custom stages are tricky to make (at least to make good ones) but they can be cool. All the new stages are good plus they kept the good Melee stages. This is by far the best Wii game I've ever played. It may be the best game for any system I've ever played. It's definitly worth buying new. If you wait to buy used, you'll probably die of anticipation because no one will sell their copy for like a year. YOU MIUST GET THIS GAME!!!
