I have played every Super Smash Bros. game. This one does not disappoint. New balances to characters and upgrades to the fighting atmosphere create a refreshing experience. The story mode can actually be challenging, and it offers hours and hours of a good solo campaign experience. I would recommend it to anybody that is a fan of the franchise or new to the franchise. It is the best Nintendo game of 2018

Simply put, Ultimate truly is the best way to describe this game. The visuals are great, the gameplay is phenomenal and never gets boring, the soundtrack is mind-blowing, and the World of Light story mode is fun and interesting to traverse your way through. The best Smash Brothers and one of, if not the best fighting games ever made.

This is one of my favorite games! The last smash bros i had was SSB Brawl and i loved that game so much and i have been so hyped for this game! The games worth the money! 999/10 !!

Anybody who says this game is bad has bad taste. It isn't a matter of opinion whether this game is good or not, it is a good game and there is literally no denying it unless you're an 11 year old Fortnite fanboy.

There isn't too much single player in the game, but there is just enough for you to be able to have fun playing it in the car.

People often say the online play is bad, but it isn't TERRIBLE... For me, anyways, I usually never have connection issues and my I usually don't have trouble finding matches for my Preffered Rules.

Sakurai knows how to make things epic, there is no denying it. He made my two favorite franchises, Smash Bros. and Kirby. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for this game.

This game was outstanding to me even smash ultimate can surpass the previous smash games to the next level It would popular as always to most gamers who ever played this game

This smash game is one of the best smash games. The story mode is good but There should be more cutscenes. Online mode is the worst feature but everything else is good. The gameplay is nice. The roster is big and makes sense. Classic mode is renewed and better but there is only race to the finish. +Roster +Classic mode +Plot +Gameplay -Online -No cutscenes

With a massive roster, a beefy adventure mode, tons of others stuff to do, etc. Super Smash Bros Ultimate is easily worth the price, and I would still buy it if it were 120 dollars. And by the way, T-Series sucks and Pewdiepie will win. So GG 9 year olds!

Super smash bros ultimate is everything I wanted it to be. It has over 100 stages, it has adventure mode, it has a lot of music, and every single smash character from the past games are now back in this game as well as some new characters.

This has to be one of the best Smash Bros games to date. Great gameplay, great way to not only introduce new playable characters, but also bringing back beloved characters from Melee and Brawl. Sakurai promised to give us something better, and I for one believe he fulfilled ghat promise so far.

Best of the Smash series with the biggest cast of fighters

This game is easy to play and really fun it has a big variety of characters some known by most and others not so known. This game is not very violent and is as I've already said very enjoyable.

The developers of this game really listened to the community and created a perfect game for anyone just looking to have some fun. This game many a huge variety of characters there is over 72 to choose from and it really is worth the cost.

As someone who obsessively played Super Smash Bros on the 3DS, to the point where there would be many a school nights where you'd find my little red console hidden beneath my pillow paused in the middle of Smash Run, I was pretty excited to hear the news of a new Smash game. I was never the most avid of Nintendo fans in my early childhood, I was first introduced to them through some old Kirby games my grandparents had stored away. It was my interest in Kirby that lead me to eventually getting a DS and later 3DS, although I wasn't truly hooked as I much preferred games like Oblivion, Fallout 3, DOOM, etc, that was until I was introduced to Smash Bros. This introduction would later spiral into a love for Nintendo and it's franchises.

To put it simply the Super Smash Bros franchise holds a special place in my heart, which is why I am ultimately left disappointed by Ultimate.

First things first it is imperative to mention what is to many the main draw of Smash, the online mode. Smash Bros has carved itself out a large and dedicated community thanks mainly to its competitive nature, this competitive nature was fed and encouraged to grow by Smash's online mode. The prospect of playing with complete strangers that share the same interest has been an enticing one in the gaming world for a long time now, these online games allow for a sense of community to grow and prosper. For a decently long time now the Smash community has prospered under the online mode offered by Super Smash Bros, even despite Nintendo's less than stellar online servers. Upon the launch of Ultimate however things seemingly took a turn for the worst, people began to complain about certain characters being overpowered even in cases in which they weren't, different characters were determined to be annoying by the community, people used Nintendo's poor server quality to purposely lag the game, unsportsmanlike behavior began to crop up, rage quitting, etc. Of course you could attribute more people dog piling on certain characters as a result of the rise of social media but the point still stands that something about online mode was upsetting a large portion of the community. This something could be attributed to many things like game balance issues and/or perhaps the laggy servers, but I believe the main issue has to do with the GSP system. In the old Smash games they'd have two modes for online, one for competitive play and the other for casual play, this system worked well and separated the two different player bases. However, in Ultimate they decided to remove the casual mode and leave only a competitive one, this left the player base who preferred a more casual style to often times go up against those more serious about winning than them and left the player base who preferred a more competitive style to go up against rule sets that discourage skill based gameplay. GSP or Global Smash Points is the point system used in Super Smash Bros Ultimate to determine your skill level and who you are matched up against, it is this point system that I think leads to most toxic behavior observed in the player base. For those who don't want to play competitively but also get annoyed when losing GSP they may start to do things such as play in annoying unfun ways, purposely lag the game, and rage quit in order to retain their GSP.

My second gripe that I have with the game is the lack of interesting non online game modes. When looking at Ultimates list of game modes one might think that it has surpassed its predecessors but you'd be mistaken. Most of its game modes are just rehashes of old game modes from previous Smash titles, which is not the problem at hand as most of these modes are enjoyable but not entirely replayable. The problem comes with the new modes that are introduced, these game modes fail to capture my interest as they mostly just boil down to playing the base game with a slight twist. Throughout the many hours I spent playing Super Smash Bros on my 3DS absolutely none of it was ever online. My attention was always kept squarely on the many game modes it had to offer, the main one being Smash Run. To me Smash Run is the pinnacle of Super Smash Bros, no, all of gaming in fact. Every night I wake up in a cold sweat after dreaming about that polar bear from Ice Climbers beating the crap out of me. Smash Run was my first and only love, if I could I would allow Smash Run to put its baby in my man womb. Without Smash Run life has no meaning and all the gods are left dead. When you die rejoice for Smash Run shall bestow upon your feeble little life the ultimate pleasure.

Everything about Smash Ultimate is absolutely brilliant. The single player, the new engine and all the characters. This truly is the best Super Smash Bros game yet.

Just like the previous Smash Bros. Games, it does not disappoint. So many characters and stages... Playing everything on random never bores me. However, I don't understand why they removed Stage Builder. It's one of the best things in Brawl and Smash 4 and there's no reason to remove it. I'm honestly sad that it's not included anymore. There's also a few minor things that I don't understand like taunts and some victory themes (rip Yoshi and Ice Climbers) being shorter now and Marth and Roy suddenly speaking English... But besides that, it's still a fantastic and fun game. I just hope that if there's ever going to be another Smash game that they will bring back Stage Builder and normal Final Smashes...

19/4/2019 edit: Stage Builder is back!!! I have only been making stages for one day but I already had more fun then I ever had on the Spirit Board or World of Grind. No idea what took them so long, but this game is now near-perfection again! :)

This game is one of the best awesome graphics, best characters, and so much to do that you'll never get bored of it. I played this a lot with my friends and we'd have a blast every time we play it together. There's also a ton to do in solo mode if you have no one to play with and they story mode is also one of the best!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is my favorite Smash Bros Game because it gave me a phenomenal experience when I was a kid. (Its also one of my top 3 favorite games ever made.) When Smash Bros 4 was released around Christmas time. I was playing that non stop for days. Some people were disappointed including myself when they found out that smash 4 didn't have any type of story mode. Now 4 years later we have Smash Bros Ultimate and all I can say is. WOW!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was an absolute blast of a joyride. From the intro to the game itself. When you start the game you will notice something weird. You only start off with 8 characters. All those 8 characters are the 8 characters you start with in the N64 Game. Yeah I know shocking. Also this game has EVERY I mean EVERY character and stage from the very beginning with extras included. Also some DLC. What sucks is you have to unlock all the other 60 something characters but it gets a lot of fun once you get to do it. Also they don't have trophies anymore. They have spirits which are pretty much the almost exact same thing.

The World Of Light is the second story mode in a Smash Bros Game. It's very fun but also a little repetitive when have to do a load of missions. Also you start off with Kirby in it. I honestly prefer the Subspace Emissary over World Of Light mostly cause of the nostalgia I had with it and it's much more fun with story and that there is barely any dialogue spoken and its beautiful. I beat World Of Light and it's fun. I recommend it.

Overall this game is a masterpiece from start to finish. I loved it. This is overall my second favorite Smash Bros game behind Brawl. An absolute blast and joyride. I can't recommend it enough.

Nintendo took this so far, ruining my childhood past of amazing video games! All I wanted was something less intense than the Subspace Emissary, but instead, they wanted to give a fictional god power beyond all control! It sickens me so much, My brain sees Diddy Kong getting murdered by that thing ever single day in my head! I can't bear the thought! It's so unforgivable!

I would say this game is pretty good. It makes me want to jump out of my window when I loose but embrace the holy spirit when I win.

Like many of Nintendos games they are perfect for every age group and have an easy level of entry, while at the same time giving veterans and "hardcore gamers" the ability to be able to perfect their skills. Everyone has heard of Nintendo and will for sure be up for a game of Smash if you tell them that a famous character like Mario, princess peach or a long line of iconic mascots are in this game. Which is great because everyone can have a fun time with the game, despite not being good at games, and the fact that you can easily play a quick game in a matter of minutes is fantastic, all you have to do is pop out the joy con and pass it over.

The single player and other game modes they added were fantastic and I spent a lot of time clearing those out and really loved the story and challenges. They were varied and the exciting twists and you were always forced, in a good way, to experiment with spirits and try new characters as you progress through the story, unlocking more and more, filling up your roster of gaming icons. There for sure is a lot to find, as the biggest factor of course is that EVERYONE is here! Every single character that has ever been in a smash brothers game and even more has been added which is great, and they will clearly continue to support the game long into the future and if they eventually would want to make a new one, I honestly wouldn't know how they would be able to exceed this game. The online multiplayer is great, despite personal not spending the most amount of time there as I didn't really play this competitively, but you for sure could, which would provide an even greater challenge and longevity.

This game is a tribute to gaming as a whole, while being a astounding experience by it self. This is a must play if you like video games, its fun and captivating and will only bring good memories with it. Invite a few friends over, play it with a family member or two or maybe just enjoy a fun journey in its single player, because this for sure is, as it says in the title, the ultimate experience.

10/10.

I'm disgusted by the world of light plot. They say this game is for kids, but the plot isn't for me! Some killer god, uses beams which drastically horrifically slaughter our favorite and least favorite characters, and blows up the entire galaxy! That is murder and genocide! Don't expose this to 10 year olds until they go to high school!

An irrelevant piece of rotten celery garbage. Thats all that needs to be said.

After 17, Nintendo have pulled it off, making a Smash Bros game which can rival Melee. It has some pretty cool characters, it's the most balanced the series has ever been, the game is fun to play in both multiplayer and single-player aspects, what's not to love? Finally, since 2008, there's a new story mode called World of Light, where you save characters from Galeem and Dharkon's deadly grasp, you also get to use spirits along the way, making the gameplay more varied, sure it isn't much, but hey, this is much, MUCH better than Smash Tour. There's also a lot of classic modes like Home Run, Tournament, Special Smash, Multi-Man-Brawl (I never really liked that one though.) It's all there! There exist problems though, like how Smash Ultimate's online BARELY WORKS, the fact that they removed the iconic Target Test (WHY?!), World of Light gets old after a little bit too, but it's still an awesome game and I recommend it to a lot of people.
