Second game to get a 10/10 since the magazine started its out of 10 rating system again. First was Metroid Prime 3. First game to get a 10/10 under the new management.

Just so everyone knows, NP rarely gives 10/10s even for Nintendo's own games. They're pretty unbiased for the most part. Just go look up some scores they gave for popular Wii games (MP3, Galaxy, and TP would be nice choices to look for). So, don't go thinking that this doesn't mean anything. :)

How unexpected... :laugh:

Of course, this game is going to get high ratings. Just because it's rated lower than 10/10 or 5/5 or whatever scale they're going by, doesn't mean that the reviewer is stupid like so many people here are claiming. I have a huge feeling that this game will disappoint.

GOTY is definately confirmed
This is crazy! Do you think that Brawl will get better reviews then Galaxy....and overall better then Ocarina of Time on gamerankings.com ?

I would have never guessed ;).

Well, I am happy to say the least. Makes me believe I will enjoy it even more when it arrives at my house probably this 'arvo.

I'm waiting for EGM. When I used to read their $hit...I think they gave the readers some pretty honest reviews...A few were questionable but for the most part EGM was the most releiable to me in my opinion. 2ND I'm waiting for IGN to review it. Come on lets be honest we saw a 10/10 rating coming from Nintendo Power.

Well, that was a nice surprise... I just hope this trend can continue, especially with the high profile reviewers. It would be lovely if every high-profile reviewer was singing praises about this game, since this game really seems deserve it. Also, it would be great if it could overtake Ocarina of Time in all of the decisive rating websites! Brawl would be a worthy successor, no?

Please, PLEASE don't let anyone from a huge website like IGN or whatever be into Competitive Melee... :urg:

Worst first post ever.

I am glad that they gave brawl a ten, i trust them. Ign will probably give around a 9.2.

This isn't surprising considering this is SSBB, the best Wii game ever made.
QFT!!!

I belive Thunderbolt, and Game Rankings gave it a perfect score as well, but I'm waiting for all of them to do the same, (hopfuly).

Great about Brawl getting a perfect 10, but I'm more excited by what I saw on the cover (ToS sequel coming out in the US after all! ) .

Why is everyone unsurprised?

I never expected it to get a 10 out of 10. That's insane. I don't think MP3 deserved it either.

NOTHING should get a 10 unless it is, in fact, the best game of all time.

you have not played this game, so you cannot say that lozoot is better. i guess by that same logic i can't say that IT is better. im sorry. but lozoot does not have multiplayer, and the bosses are too easy.

When has Nintendo Power ever scored a Nintendo made game anything less than a 7.

Although 10/10 is fully understandable.

I usually only care about EGM and GI's reviews, but I was getting Brawl regardless. Seeing how Nintendo Power has become more of a serious magazine, though, I'll take their review with some merit.
