- Frenzied action, a single-player mode, plenty of additional battle objects and an online mode. Can also use any Wii or GameCube controller.
- All the craziness and the sometimes sluggish jump button make this great game a bit overwhelming for newcomers.

Review Summary

there is a lot more to the game then just that like teching and trying to master the speed smash timing of the characters that is needed to win the game, using their unique abilitys that can only be used for that certain character unless you choose to use kirby, and many more things that would take me a lot longer to explain, it is just the best party game made yet.

question about saving files for supers smash bros brawl

I am new to the wii so this will be an elementary question for you...we have super smash bros for our sons ages 8 and 9, they want to play as single players and save their files separately (as they do for many other games), but my oldest son tells me they can't save two separate files on this game...is that so? They do not like to play multi-player as they end up in fist-fights! And, my older son does not want his saved information lost...any advise? Thank you!
