Following the legacy of its predecessors, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been one of the most highly anticipated games of the generation. Departing from the classic style of fighting game and featuring a whole host of characters from a slough of Nintendo games, the Smash Bros. series is most definitely a unique one.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third game of the series that originally began on the Nintendo 64 with Super Smash Bros. In the Smash Bros. series, rather than whittling down a player's health meter, damage taken is measured by a growing percentage level. As the player's damage percentage increases, their character is launched further and further by enemy attacks. Additionally, instead of trying to knock out a player by eliminating their health, one tries to knock the player off the arena, much like in sumo wrestling.

In Brawl, this gameplay is that much more intense. Featuring a total of thirty-five characters (fourteen to unlock), over thirty different stages (including a host of stages from Melee, as well as custom stages!), fifty-two different battle items, and a massively detailed single-player adventure mode known as The Subspace Emissary. Tie that in with a variety of new moves, new combat features (such as the Final Smash), and massively updated graphics, and you'll find that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a must-have!
