I think whoever wrote this is a little nutty. Everything in Red is me. So what do you guys think of this review?
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is more aptly named Melee 1.1:
At the end of the day, it all boils down to one verdict: too much rehashing, and too little "new" content, filler aside. Of course, there's the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," but personally, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment. Franchises are meant to evolve, especially a 10-year-old one like Smash Bros. For those who wanted a Melee 1.1, that's great, but I'd rather have stuck to the original instead of shelling out another $50 for a limited upgrade.
5/10
Sure It doesn't improve as much as Melee did from the original, but really, with Online, 10 hour+ single player, and greatly improved graphics, ect. how can we complain about "Not enough improvements!

All the greatness of Nintendo and its glory packed in one little disc:
This game is a tribute to the greatness that is Nintendo. Anyone can learn to master and love this game, much like how we veterans did back in 1999. This game will never lose its appeal, and will never become boring. The fun never stops when you're brawling with your friends, online or even alone. If there is one game that can compete with the top selling Wii game "Wii Play", it is this. Buy this game when it comes out in America. You won't regret it.
10/10
And will never become boring? Just below it says :"Will become boring in a few weeks"? Hmm....

A great party game which, unfortunately, will not stand the test of time:
Don't let the genre fool you – Super Smash Brothers Brawl is not a fighting game. It is a party game, through-and-through; surprisingly similar to Mario Party, in fact. However, just like MP, its appeal will wear off after about a week of playing, and it's really doubtful that you'll ever find yourself coming back to it except for big occasions or some such. However, it is still a fantastic (probably unrivaled at this point) collection of Nintendo nostalgia and memorabilia all packed onto one disc. Tons of trophies, stickers, songs, and other items help give you more info about your favorite Nintendo character – as well as introduce you to a few you may not have even heard of!
6/10
Once I get this game, I will probably not touch melee for a long time!!

First we Smashed, then Melee'd, and now, It's time ... TO BRAWL!:
The game doesn't add as much as Melee did to the original, and you might find that Melee was better for it's time. You still are getting a great game here. I'm not fond of the single player game and would have rather have had that development time used for characters. Online is great, but the "With Anyone" is only decent.
9/10
Alas! The third sibling of the trio of Smash Bros. is released... Does it live up to its hype?:
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is worth a try, but you'll soon desire to go back to Melee's better gameplay and controls. This game is a huge letdown and definitely not what everyone expected.
7/10
