Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001 Video Game)
5/10
I spent $70 on this..

I only did 'cause I thought this game was gonna be easy, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG!

PROS:

A nice line-up roster of characters.

A really catchy soundtrack. (My personal favorites are Icicle Mountain, Menu 1, Metal Battle, Multi-Man Melee 1, Opening, Tournament 1, and Yoshi's Island 64.)

The exclusive stages that are not available in Ultimate, such as Icicle Mountain, Mushroom Kingdom (The layout is different in Melee, trust me), Mute City (The layout is also different in Melee, kinda like Port Town Aero Dive), and the most iconic one, Poke Floats.

The Teen ESRB rating (look, I just think it's cool, okay? I'm not a nerd, trust me.)

CONS:

I think how it's REALLY annoying how tap jump is in this game, and the worst part is, YOU CAN'T TURN IT OFF!! And also, if you run to the ledge, you just fall off without some sort of stop or something, WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING!!

Some of the unlockables are EXTREMELY frustrating. For example, to unlock Mewtwo, you have to get a total vs. Play time of 20 FREAKING HOURS!! SERIOUSLY?! I'd rather go touch grass rather than playing this game for almost a full day. You know what, I'll even tell you the cheesy way to unlock Mewtwo: Play an endless match of lightning melee, pick someone you're actually good with, and if you have 2 or more controllers, plug those in right now, it'll spare some time. Then pick a random stage like Poke Floats, and then drop the controllers and walk away for the whole day. Oh, and I also recommend that you turn off your TV but leave the GameCube system on, it might spare the power bill, maybe. And there you go, you have unlocked Mewtwo the cheesy way.

The event matches FREAKING SUCK!! You AT LEAST HAVE to be a pro player to complete every single one of them!! And also, this genuine cry for help. I still can't complete all the event matches and yet I sort of hate this game because of those stupid events and I'm still playing this gosh dang game.

OUTRO:

So what do I think of this game? Screw this game, go Play Ultimate instead.
