    I am usually not that critica, but:

    No new. Kirby things
    WTF is BWD?
    MakesKirby look like a kids game

    However:

    It is fun
    It has a decent story mode
    It has Kirby

    If you want to play competitive, the game is a clear 10.

    But the story mode can be improved and is lacking some content from previous games, so it's not perfect but still a pretty good game.

I made a mistake of trying to go pro and the only thing Ihave gained is knowledge of how unbalanced this game is. It's not your typical fighting game, just a mash fest of basically which character is better, not which player is better. I won't go into detail, but Nintendo could have easily fixed half the problems with just a better developer team.… Expand

    A fantastic fighting game but my favourite ist Brawl for the WII because the story mode is epic. Ultimate needs a story mode.

    I rate smash ultimate a 9/10 because, all the characters from the past games are here; with the inclusion of new characters, the story mode is okay but, the repetitiveness gets annoying in a way if you play the world of light a second time, but the first it feels amazing and the boss fights and gameplay feels axing and awesome.

    Лучший файтинг в который я играл. А я играл и в 11мк и в 10мк в 1 и во 2 Injustice, в бравлхаллу, драгонболл xenoverse 2. Очень интересный, однако 10 он не заслуживает.

    The best Smash game ever made. The game's absurd amount of content and roster combining every fighter from the series' history and several newcomers including DLC make it more enjoyable than any Smash game before it, and will be played and remembered for generations to come.

    Easily the best Super Smash Bros. game yet made. The extensive character roster is approaching 90 or so characters with DLC, and the content in the game can even keep one player invested for hours.

    At first glance they may seem like a good game, but they have a brutal content cut behind them.
    There are no more trophies, only flat PNG's taken from Google, and a completely decaffeinated story mode compared to Brawl.

    Probably the best in terms of content and fighting although the adventure mode is not as good as brawls by a long shot but it is still worth a 10

    The best chapter of this saga. The connection quality for the multiplayer is broken, but it's nintendo fault. The game is awesome.

    Smash Ultimate was clearly a labor of love, not just for Sakurai but for everyone involved in the making of this wonderful game.

    So close to being perfect. The game itself is a dream come true with such a massive, rich roster. Vs with a friend or two is hour's of non stop fun.

    As for the single player content I feel it failed. I do not enjoy the adventure mode at all. I may be one of the few but I miss collecting & looking at trophies and reading the characters details & game's they first appeared in ect. And the    So close to being perfect.

    Amazing game with everything you would expect from a Titel called smash ultimate. Most of the dlcs really aren't what you would want and the online playmode pairs you with people that have so much more skill then you so it destroys the fun of playing.

    Файтингом эту игру называть ни как нельзя, казуальная через чур, при этом очень супер всратое управление, зачем делать всё через одну кнопу, когда у вас еще столько не занятых, непонятно. Сложным освоением и сложностью игры, игроки называет то что у многих бойцов есть свои фишки, которые ты должен сам находить, на деле эта пару приемов с разной анимацией и всё.
    Очень ДОРОГО, при этом еще новых персонажей нужно ПОКУПАТЬ?! АЛЕ у вас игра 6к стоит!!! какие могут быть платные персонажи????
    игра плохо работает через wi fi, нужно покупать доп для сетевого кабеля или док станцию с гнездом для сетевого кабеля.
    НО! еще не все....не забудьте, что вам еще понадобится геймпад!!! иначе вы ушатаете эти супер хлюпкие джойконы.
    В общем если вы хотите нормальный файтинг с нормальными механиками, а не скачками по арене лучше обратите внимание на теккен 7 или сф5, в случае игры в портаитиве это плохая затея на свиче играть в файтинги....    … Expand

    This is clearly an amazing game that can be played a lot of time in adventure mode and online. For its decade, it is qualitatively inaccessible to competitors.

    It’s not just a great fighting game and a perfect party title, uncommonly enjoyable and absurdly rich in content that should suffice for literally years of fun. It’s also an amazing homage to the history of video games. [02/2019, p.60]

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate escalates everything the series was known for, and delivers it flawlessly. Biggest fighter rooster ever, more dynamic gameplay, loads and loads of gameplay modes, stages, weapons, music, stuff! If there is a smash that deserves your cash, this is the one!
