So...have there been any official reviews of the game besides Famitsu's 40/40?

Some of those tracks are mislabeled.

no official reviews yet, i imagine it will be a couple of weeks

 I wanna know the same thing, I don't really feel like going to metacritic or game rankings.

Another good reason to use the Wiimote+nunchuck

It makes noises from the Wiimote when picking a character...character-specific noises...that's pretty cool.

No other reviews, yet. Probably won't be until close to the end of Feb, unless some sites decide to review the import version.

 lol, yea i just read that too. 4/10??!

Gamefaq = dumbasses 

It was only a Gamefaqs user, read other reviews:

-Replay Value: 10/10
There's too much to do here. Trying to beat Subspace Emissary on intense, collecting everything, beating the events, unlocking characters, stages, it's just way too much to simply play the Subspace and call it quits. You will be playing this until you 2012, if not longer.
I'm not exaggerating either.

-Replay Value 10/10

I feel Brawl has been crafted to have the same lasting power Melee has achieved over the last 6 years. Once people have grown accustomed to Brawl being a different game than Melee and learn how to work with it, Brawl will gain its place in our game collections.

Aside from playing multiplayer, plenty of other additions have been made to keep you interested. SSE with varying difficulties and sticker collecting to power up your characters adds plenty for you to do alone. The coin launcher is another aspect I found to be very enjoyable.

-Multi-Player: 10/10 Perfect

What smash is all about really. This has been made bigger, better and just plain awesome. Pretty much every mode in the game has Co-Op modes but what stands out is the great as ever multi-player. Items to throw in for randomness if you please or a stock match in Final Destination with no items. Each is fun to watch, because no one match is ever the same. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get drunk and watch Jigglypuff get ripped apart. It's just FUN. And you'll NEVER get tired of it. Ever.

Overall, a Fantastic game and a worthy addition to the series. VERY fun and sure to be stuck in your Wii for a while. And even longer if you have friends.

I can't wait to get my copy of smash, I'm going to write a IGN reader review and basically copy and paste to GameFAQs if I can.

HOMG, I've only just heard the SSBB version of King Dedede theme, Mt. Dedede. I seriously had an eargasm there folks, I keep repeating it now and can't see myself stopping in the near future. The memories of Mt. Dedede are flooding back, easily the best SSBB remix I've heard so far.
