A Great Game
I've been playing this since I was at leat 8, which is the inly reason I say 8+. It's nothing TOO violent, there's no blood, so I could say it being E10+ at least. My Mom approves of this, and she's SUPER stingy about what I play. It's not hard to use, but I don't think children will enjoy it much, just because their kids, but I LOVE these type of games, and this really DOES rock!

This is an EXTREMELY good fighting game. I really reccomend it. There is no blood, but tons of cartoon violence. Your goal is to launch the opponents off of the course, and you can launch them easier by beating them up. Violence includes punching, kicking, lazer guns, bombs, grenade launchers, baseball bats, hammers, and tons of other weapons. Sometimes when you launch characters tey slam into the screen. There are tons of modes, characters, rules, items, and stages to keep you entertained. You can also maneuver the camera when paused and take pictures. The only iffy stuff besides the violence is that one character can toot as an attack, and one female character wears very tight clothes. 10/10

Great game
i really don't think this should be rated T, it should probably be rated E. the violence is NOT bad at all. I mean, you wouldn't be wanting your 5 year old playing this, the violence does not affect younger kids.

Fun game. Some parents won't like it.
Obviously violence. There's no blood or gore, but the aim of the game is to use your character's various fighting moves to cause other characters' "damage" (represented by a percentage at the bottom of the screen). The higher the damage, the further the characters will fly back when you hit them. The objective is to get points by hitting characters off the screen. Weapons range from turnips to laser guns. The characters are from various other video games, some of them rated T for reasons other than violence. One character, Snake, is from Metal Gear Solid, a game rated M, and uses modern weapons like hand grenades and missile launchers. A character named Wario farts as an attack. A female character named Zero-Suit Samus wears a tight suit (which covers her entire body except for her head) and has a Barbie-doll body. I would understand why a lot of parents don't like their kids playing this game. It's loads of fun, though, especially its multiplayer mode.

Nintendo's masterpeice is definetly the king of fighting games
I really like it. it is my favorite game right now. it is so good because you can use like 30 charachters, who each have like 10 different attacks(ranged and melee), 50 courses plus making your own courses, and a ton of items. there are also different types of brawls, and it is especially fun on multiplayer.

A Pure Nintendo Classic
This game is non-stop fun. Still playing it as of today, starting from the very first day it was released. The 'T' rating is completely incorrect, cartoon violence with minimal blood falls under more of the E 10+ rating.

LOVE IT!
This is one of me and my brother's favorite games! I love how you can play with friends via the Wifi connection, and we do that a LOT. It's fun, easy to learn how to play, and it can keep you busy for hours. The violence isn't too bad- I mean it's real cartoony and fun- I mean you can shoot grenades at people, but it's not bloody or anything. I consider it "Tom and Jerry" violence. With grenades... Safety CAN be an issue on only one term: if your kid jumps up screaming at the TV cause one of his friends beat him in a match or he lost to a computer. Yeah, been there done that :)

This game is fairly fun for younger audiences. I recommend this for ages 8+ because its just cartoony violence.

The E10 rating exists for a reason...
Honestly, I have no idea what made this game T rated. Super Smash Bros Brawl is a fighter that, rather than having life bars, has damage counters that increase as the player is hurt. The higher the damage counter, the easier it is to launch your opponent. It's a simple concept, but it's executed flawlessly.The game is easy and simple enough for little kids to understand, but for tweens/teens/adults, the game packs a lot of advanced techniques that can be executed. This game is very multiplayer focused, but single player can be enjoyable as well. I urge you to buy this as quickly as possible, you will not be disappointed.

Addicting and Fun
Great! It's a great fighting game with action packed, explosive, and humorous fights! I just loved it when they added Kirby and Snake! They're my favorite Gameplay Characters! There are some glitches in the game and it can get quite confusing and frustrating unlocking everything, but it challenges you and ( I don't know if this is true but.. ) Improves your gaming skills on fighting! When I heard Marth's Japanese taunt, it made my Japanese friend laugh. Worth playing!

All of my favorite characters in a quirky fighting game. Its fantastic.
Ness from Mother 2 is in this game.... that right there makes Super Smash Bros. Brawl one of the best games on the Wii besides the fact that this game is fun, cartoony, and easy to pick up and play. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a game I picked up on launch date a couple years back after waiting for so long. This game takes all of your favorite Nintendo and a couple non-Nintendo characters you know (or don't know such as Lucas, Marth, or Mr Game and Watch) and love (or don't such as Olimar) and puts them in to one full-out (...wait for it...) brawl. It has a lengthy, entertaining, and nostalgia filled campaign that will keep children busy for maybe a week depending on what you set the difficulty to. Characters control well having you the ability to use up to four different control methods, so if you don't like how the Wii controller controls, use the Nunchuck. If you don't like using the nunchuck, use the Classic Controller. If you don't like using the Classic Controller, use the Gamecube controller. If you don't like how the Gamecube controller controls, thats a problem. Pick one. So really, the game is controlled however your child wants. The game doesn't take itself seriously, it never has. So people complaining about "mindless violence", really, thats all Super Smash Bros. Brawl is trying to be. If you don't like it, look at another game. While there is punches, kicks, and more, the only weapon I find "inappropriate" would be Solid Snake's firepower. While it does pay close homage to the game he came from, it can be a little much for the younger ones. As for inappropriate body parts, people seem to complain about the character "Samus". Samus' "smash move" is a beam wiping out everyone or thing in its way. She then takes the big metal suit off and is now in a super thin.... coating, I guess. I can't describe it. But you can see the character's... you know whats. Not bare skin. Just I guess "poking" out of the suit. No "detail", you know what I mean, just the you know whats through the suit. I can't describe it well. Look it up or something. There is online. No chat or anything. Its really laggy so I doubt your kid would want to play it anyway. And finally, depending on the kid, your child may want to play the games some of the characters are from. Besides Solid Snake, none of the games are rated M. Some of the games are easily accessible and some, like my favorite game, Mother 2, aren't. So whether buying this game for your kids or not depends. Look in to it though. It is one of the best games on the Wii.
