Game Play:
The single player mode of the game is very easy to complete. It is composed of playing every character in the game and a boss at the end. This is why the game is primary played in multi-player mode. You can play up to four people at a time (including yourself), and you can play in a variety of options. One thing great about the game is that all of the characters are completely different and each one is capable of beating the other, it all depends on the player’s skill.
Smash Bros also contains hidden characters and levels that can be unlocked by beating the games in harder modes, bonus stages, and using less lives. The secret characters are not necessarily better than any of the normal characters, so it is not completely unfair when you use them in battles (unlike other fighting games).

Game Design:
In my experience playing video games, Smash Brothers is the one game to truly survive the test of time. I have played the game on and off since I first got an N64 until now. The reason so many people love the game is because it is pretty easy to learn, and hard to perfect. The game has a really happy style that embodies Nintendo's standard of game play.
Battles can be held in any of the nine levels offered, all of which have unique features about them, these are based on the character’s games. The levels can be thought of more as battle arenas because there is never a beginning or end to it, it is stationary through out that fight. Super Smash Brothers is one of my favorite games ever made, I have been playing it on and off since I first got an N64 and I am still playing it today.

Please have two entries for each gamelog assignment. You're missing both the summary and first game play log. Also, the game design section should be less about your experience playing the game and more about what makes the game. You talked a little about it, but try next time to be a little more objective. Add more info about the fighting system or the graphics and such. Like how are these levels unique, what separates it from other games?
