Christian Spotlight

On Christian Spotlight, Super Smash Bros. Melee was reviewed by a guest reviewer, Jon Cook.[2] In his verdict, Cook said that Super Smash Bros. Melee had little offensive content despite having a T rating. He recommended it to Nintendo fans and as a more family-friendly alternative to Mortal Kombat. However, Cook did mention that several fighters use magical or psychic moves, but that it is otherwise not problematic.

Cook provided the following ratings for Super Smash Bros. Melee:

  • Christian Rating: 4 of 5 (slightly offensive)
  • Gameplay: 5 of 5 (excellent)
  • Violence: 3 of 5 (mild)
  • Adult Content: 5 of 5 (none)
