It's an all-out melee with Nintendo's biggest stars!Super Smash Bros. Melee is the ultimate four-player fighting game with
unpredictable action and non-stop animated onslaughts. Easy to pick up
and play but extremely difficult to master, Super Smash Bros. Melee is
the ultimate party game. After all, what's more fun than humiliating
your best friend by hurling him 200 feet into the sky with a Jigglypuff
Smash attack?
Features
-
Fight to the finish with over 20 characters from the Nintendo
universe, including Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong,
Captain Falcon, Fox, Samus and many more!
-
Use a wide variety of special items like Warp Stars, Home Run Bats,
Hammers, Ray Guns, Poké Balls and more to get a leg up on the
competition.
-
All-new moves and techniques add even more subtle ways to refine your
battle tactics.
-
Even solo brawlers will be entertained in a beefed-up single-player
mode which includes dozens of difficult Event Match scenarios.
As you might guess, the most striking aspect of Super Smash Bros. Melee
is its incredible visuals. Mario's overalls are detailed down to the
rivets, and Princess Peach's dress flutters in the breeze with amazing
realism. Special attacks take full advantage of Nintendo GameCube's
potential for spectacular lighting effects, and there is no slow-down
whatsoever even when the screen fills up with swarming Unown Pokémon.
If you're worried that Super Smash Bros. Melee might stray too far from
the gameplay mechanics found in the original Smash Bros., stop
stressing. The basic premise (which in our opinion neared perfection) is
the same. Characters duke it out in interactive environments, using
special attacks and various items to knock each other into the abyss.
Some new defensive techniques add an even deeper level of complexity to
the combat.
New to Melee is the ability to dodge attacks and projectiles. All
characters can execute a mid-air dodge, or lean away from danger while
standing on the ground. Also, you can catch most thrown items by
pressing the A Button just before the object hits your fighter. All
characters can execute a move similar to Fox's reflector shield by
pressing the shield button just before a projectile hits.
Bottom Line
This game has it all. Super Smash Bros. Melee is the ultimate in
frenzied four-player fighting!
