Some new defensive techniques add an even deeper level of complexity to the combat. Characters duke it out in interactive environments, using special attacks and various items to knock each other into the abyss. Melee might stray too far from the gameplay mechanics found in the original Smash Bros., stop stressing, the basic premise is the same. A beefed-up single-player mode ensures that even solo brawlers will be entertained. Melee also features all-new battle arenas, gameplay modes, options and stat tracking. In addition to new characters, Super Smash Bros. Special attacks take full advantage of Nintendo GameCube's potential for spectacular lighting effects, and the GameCube handles all of this at 60 frames per second without even breaking into a sweat. Mario's overalls are detailed down to the rivets, and Princess Peach's dress flutters in the breeze with amazing realism. The most striking aspect of Super Smash Bros. Melee is the ultimate four-player fighting game with unpredictable action and non-stop animated onslaughts.

Nintendo's all-star cast of combatants is back, along with a new batch of brawlers ready to tear it up on Nintendo GameCube.
