I’ve been so lazy lately.
Well, now it’s time for me to review a game I’ve had for years, but finally played enough to know about. SSBM is a side-scrolling fighting game for the GameCube that includes all of your favorite Nintendo characters ranging from favorites like Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby and including some other characters also. There’s a ton of different characters to choose from, and even though a few handle like others [like Mario and Dr. Mario], there’s still tons uniqueness, even if everyone uses Marth and Falco [Those guys annoy me to no end. Jigglypuff rules all!]. The fighting part acts pretty much like every other fighting game out there, but is still different in it’s own way. First, unlike most fighting games, you have quite a bit of items to barrage your opponenets with ranging from Pokeballs and super mushrooms to Mr. Saturn [*cough* Earthbound for the SNES *cough*]. Also, there’s a very large choice of worlds to choose from including stuff like Hyrule temple and the Mushroom Kingdom. Another thing that sets itself apart is that you don’t get all the characters and worlds from the start; you have to unlock them by reaching certain goals. There’s a adventure mose added to [supposedly] lenghten 1-P mode, but the only reason you would do it is to unlock more characters, trophies, and worlds. And speaking of trophies, those are just annoying little things you’ll collect as you progress through the game, but all they show is that you have them [Right...]. The multi-player is the only reason to play this game; the multi-player is some of the best that you can find.
The graphics are kind of okay, but they’re nothing to go Yay! over. The music is almost the same as in most of the games the music originated in with a little remix included on most of them. The sound is great and very helpful and you probably will never get tired of it no matter how long you play the game.
Overall, if you have a GC and you have some friends to play with, then this game is perfect, but if you have absolutely noone to play with, then you mioght find yuorself bored after about 10 hours or so. I give Super Smash Brothers: Melee for the GameCube a NINE out of TEN.
