have you played any of the other smash bros. games kaiser? what i found most fun about the games was playing it with a group of friends. to me, thats the best part. i remember playing the first one for n64 for hours over my friends house, with a whole group of us going at it, and then doing the same thing when melee came out for gamecube. thats the only reason i find the game fun. as for single player, i could care less. personally, i doubt that i'll ever own this game, because i probably wont ever buy a wii. and there is a certain amount of skill involved in being really good at the game, so its not all chaos.
