Well, everyone seems to be singing the praises of Super Smash Bros Brawl.

I watchet the video review of it  from Game Trailers and in the review it was mentioned that playing on your own SSBB is average but online it nears perfection.

My problem...no broadband internet connection

Now I would just like to know from people who have played the game whether or not this should totally discourage me from getting this game.

You should also know that my friends are not into videogames so even offline multiplayer is unlikely.

Also, from the review it seems that classic Nintendo games within SSBB can be unlocked and played.  The review showed Star Fox 64.  Are these unlockable classics the full games or are they just small bits of the original games?  Also what are all the classics included?  Even if SSBB will be average offline I will get it just to play Star Fox 64 and the other classics since I never owned a N64.

Thanks for your input everyone. 

Buy a puppy instead of SSBB

They are small bits of the game not full version classics, I'm not sure how long because Brawls not out where I live.

Can someone please answer how much if the demo you get of the classics?

For I will be geting this game as well, for the 1 player, because I have no friends.

You will still love this game without multiplayer, on and off-line. I was in the same boat for SSB and SSBM. This game has plenty single player content to offer. Don't deprive yourself of it.

The classics are like demo's. So you get a small taster, don't expect much more than 5 minutes or so and some of them have time limits as to how long you play. For all the info check out the Smash bros dojo.

Get a broadband internet connection? These days, it can be cheaper than dial-up.

Broadband would also allow for downloading the full versions of the classic games.

I would say it is not worth playing offline (though I do not own Brawl, just SSBM (GC) and SSB (N64)), because the AI apparently hasn't improved since SSBM and the platforming is mediocre from the videos I have watched and reviews I have read.

You dont need online it helps but it isn't necessary

well i guess it would be necessary if you dont have any friends to play it with

It's still an alright single player experience, but you'll definitely be missing out if you don't have at least one other person to play with. Like with any multiplayer game you won't have as much of a reason to come back to it if you don't have someone else to play with.

My recommendation:

Pick it up if you're a Nintendo fan (The Sub-Space Emissary and all around Nostalgia should be enough to warrant this choice).

Pass it up if you're not.

 Edit: Oh, and the demos range from the shortest being about 40 seconds (for the original Donkey Kong) to 5 minutes (for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time).

Surely your mates would get into it?

I guess if they don't even play wii sports multi-player, maybe not.

It might be worth skipping this, while you work on getting some new mates.

Lol, doubting to buy brawl because you think it ain't good enough in single-player?!... Funny guy, you are!
