A must have for the gamecube.

Gameplay

Overall it's a solid platform fighter. Many new improvements over it's older counterpart, including many more arenas, playable characters and even the ability to charge smash attacks.

Lifespan

Ironically enough you'd figure a game like this wouldn't hold your attention for very long, but to be honest I know people who STILL play this game every chance they get. It's just that fun.

Graphics

By next-gen standards it's not that great, but for its time the character models and effects were great. Much of the improvement overall went into this category.

Sound

Classic scores from Nintendo's famous games, including some of the lesser knowns have been redone by an orchestra. Many of the tunes in here include the classic Zelda Overworld Theme, Mario Overworld Theme and even F-Zero's Mute City. Voice samples for characters are clean and varied.

Summary

Overall, this is one of the greatest games to hit the Gamecube and the gaming community.
