mine was dispatched yesterday, should be here today im hoping, in work though so i have to wait

Why was this delayed so long in the UK anyway? I was really looking forward to it but got put off with all the waiting.

I think I had it on pre-order before Christmas.

Same here. I remember pre-ordering this in March as a certain store said it would be in stock May...

The US have had this for months and months...

The language conversion to other PAL countries is the reason for the delay apparently.

I've got it now, came with a 'limited edition' card sleeve for the case which looks pretty nice.

Have played it for an hour with a friend and need to get some new stuff unlocked.

I got mine through, also with the card sleeve and ZSS post card. It's had about 2.5hrs play so far. Shame I have to bath my 2-year old daughter, put her to bed and do my Year 9 reports!

Loving it so far!

I wish I could

. Cos they're Year 9 I've got to give them all National Curriculum levels too

I think I'll have to trade in GTA:IV for this tomorrow... Hopefully it'll be worth it. RE4, Smooth Moves, Mario and Sonic and Red Steel won't be enough to afford this will they?

10 Presentation
SSBB is near infallible as far as the breadth, depth and presentation of its content goes.
9.0 Graphics
While Subspace Emissary is a tad sparse, astonishing stage and character design and animation makes for a beautiful looking game.
10 Sound
Quite simply, the most astonishing, creative collection of music ever committed to a single disc.
9.0 Gameplay
It's core fighting system is undoubtedly divisive and certainly not for everyone. Get on with it though and the myriad modes built around it offer an incredible amount of depth.
10 Lasting Appeal
Just getting through every option once takes long enough. Factor in multiplayer, online, stage building and unlockables and you're looking at one hell of a package.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

I've played it for about 6 hours today, its the first game in ages that hasn't bored me after about an hour

McManicMan · 27 Jun 2008 at 08:04

lay-z-boy · 27 Jun 2008 at 10:33

Had mine on pre order for the last week, should arrive today. Can't wait. Been looking forward to this for months.

tang0 · 27 Jun 2008 at 11:36

yay got this today, im baffled by all the controls there are ;o

Wang Computer · 27 Jun 2008 at 11:56

Are there trophies to collect as in Melee? That could be the clincher for a lunchtime purcahse.

tang0 · 27 Jun 2008 at 12:22

Can you make different saves? i don't want my brother to play it and unlock everything before ive even got that far

Loads of trophies.

You have different saves on the adventure mode, but everything else is shared. So if your brother unlocks snake on adventure he won't be in your adventure file, but you will be able to use him in classic brawl.
