Honest opinions of Super Smash for a UK user

Hi,

I've just pre-ordered Super smash brothers as, over here in the UK it isn't out til June 27th. I had it on the Gamecube and loved it, which is the main driver for ordering it this time but basically there are two questions for those of you lucky enough to already have it :)

1. How good is it? honestly?

2. Does it deserve the rave reviews its got so far?

Basically, I'm excited by this game, should i be?

32 days to go :)

Cheers,

Auzyh

It's a great game but personally, I think it's a little overrated. It's basically the same as the last game. The multiplayer's amazing but the single player gets old fast.

Just my opinion, though. Everyone else seems to love it.

Cheers for the replies :)

Sounds like a brilliant game, I think I'm just trying to kill time while i wait for it to come out :)

Watching a few months of threads on how good it is without getting my hands on it is frustrating, as I'm sure you can believe!!

Oh well, have to pass the time with Mario Kart and Guitar Hero for another month!

Slightly overrated in my opinion. SSE is a better Single Player than previous games (with amazing cutscenes, seriously, they're worth completing it by themselves) but still isn't nearly as good as a SP in another genre, and can get fairly repetitive, especially near the end.

Online is pretty much crap, Stage Builder is great for the possibilities it creates but still gimped, and Brawl doesn't have the same technical depth as Melee.

Of course, the game's music is no less than absolutely amazing, graphics are fantastic, and many of the rough edges from Melee have been smoothed out to create a better fighting system, even if it doesn't have as much depth. The character roster is amazing, with less clones and more balance between fighters. Items and stages are the best they're ever been, and plus you can finally take pictures or save replays and then send them to friends.

its a really great game. a bit overated i think but still good.

if you hav friends it will last you awhile

I have played melee, and only enjoyed it with friends.

With Brawl, it will be the same, and as i have two sisters, they definitely won't want to play. this means only when friends come round i can fully enjoy the game.

Also, online multiplayer- hmmmm, i think its going to be a bit troublesome because of the amount of saddos that quit matches.

Overall, i think Brawl is overrated. The multiplayer is fun, but its not enough. This may sound strange for a wii owner, but im not convinced im going to part with £35 for this game- ill think about it.

BTW this is the opinion of a person who has not played brawl.

I wouldn't say overrated so much as overhyped. People expected it to be the game to end all games, which got slightly irritating because other games were ignored.

Anyways, it's pretty similar to Super Smash Bros Melee, so if you don't expect much innovation you'll be fine. There is a heck of a lot more content and the soundtrack rocks. The annoying gimmicky stages of Melee have been toned down to be more fair, but still interesting (unless you liked Big Blue and the like, but some are still there). Single player is interesting, but unassuming (but compared to the other two SSB's, it's a huge improvement). As for the gameplay itself, it seems to handle like Melee, but with the ridiculously overpowered moves being toned down, it has a different feel, as characters seem to survive more.

P.S. Make sure you have good opponents. If you play against sore losers, the game will get tiring fast.

man, im from the UK and i already own it
it is absolutely fantastic! the single is so much better than the adventure mode in melee, the characters is great, so many to choose from, stage builder, replays etc and they keep the same sort of ****multiplayer that melee had but slightly slowed it down, but trust me it work. it is one of the biggest game on the wii (for the amount of content)
My one question to u is:
Why did you just pay a little bit extra to get it imported months before the uk release considering we have been waiting for ages?
