Game Overview

Nintendo's all-star casts of combatants are back, along with a new batch of brawlers ready to tear it up on Nintendo GameCube. Super Smash Bros. Melee is the ultimate four-player fighting game with unpredictable action and non-stop animated onslaughts. Super Smash Bros. Melee features over 20 characters to choose from, many of which are still top-secret.

The Bottom Line

Multiple play modes include objective based missions, Stadium Contests, side-scrolling courses, Melee mode, and Versus mode. Stunning orchestrated soundtrack includes exciting remixes of classic game themes. High polygon character models and detailed environments animate smoothly and display in progressive scan.

Frantic multiplayer fighting returns with Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo GameCube. More than just a minor upgrade to the popular N64 game, the GameCube Smash Bros. is chock full of so many options and features it will make your head spin. Players can pummel each other with 25 classic Nintendo characters, and fight in 18 various game-themed arenas (not to mention an assortment of unlockable secret arenas).

Expert Reviews

89/100

score

Nintendo's spastic tribute to itself stands quite strong as one of the most engaging multiplayer games available for any console platform.

96/100

score

SSB Melee puts the original to shame with its countless options and longevity. This has become and will likely become one of my favorite Nintendo Gamecube titles of all-time. It's that good.
