A great mario game no matter what!
Not owning a Nintendo Wii and going through blockbuster about 8 times passing through the columns where everytime i would see Super Mario Galaxy on the shelfs and then i would walk into the Xbox 360 Column...i got so fed up with actually going through that column i was like you know what.....im just gonna do this, took the game rented it and brought it over to my freinds house to play it....was it worth it...uhhh....YES!!!
This Mario game starts as any Mario game should with Princess Peach being taken away by that guy that you threw into bombs and smacked on his head the all well known.....Bowser... you start by running around a toad village collecting star bits when the big bad Bowser shows up and OMG steals peach away from you, your mission after you get to the orbital space station is to power up the engine and all the little hobbles around the space station and use the space station to save the Princess who just so happens to be in the middle of the galaxy with bowser....wonder what they are doing for like the millionth time...bowa chika bow wow....
Alright on to the gameplay which bares a striking resembalence to Super Mario 64 but is not exactly like it. You'll basically be running around through diffrent galaxies and smashing hitting and shooting star pieces at your enimes coming by and also getting into alot of neat little boss battles. The one thing that sets this game apart from all the other mario games is how the gravity feels when moving from one area to another by via port of shooting through a star or by jumping and using the gravatational pull to mounver to a diffrent area.
Your main attack will be a spin move that mario does when you swing the wii remote around which really knocks out a enemy then you can either ground pound on it or just jump on it via just jumping lol, it does take a second or two for it to reacharge so dont go around thinking you can continuaslly use it because you'll just end up dying from smaking into it
Which brings me to my next point this game is NOT a total cake walk at all because later on in the game it does gradually get harder which might frustrate little kids into through the controlers on the ground or by hardcore gamers actually getting a good kick out of it.
The spin attack isnt the only attack that you can use as i said you can jump on eneimes but as you should already know swinging your controller around to collect star bits is another big thing about the game being that star bits are a weapon but is also which is the currency of the game so shooting to many star bits at eneimes wont allow you to get some stars that are hidden by the chicken/rabbit luma's
You will find costumes around diffrent area's of a planet and galaxy each having to do with that level meaning that if you dont have that costume with you say for instence ice mario then you wont be able to continue going through that one area. The costumes are cool and you'll enjoy alot of them but some of them are really a bother like being ghost mario which is really hard to control and go through walls with and the bee costume where you fall into water or get it and you lose it.
Now i will talk about controlls which is where everyone has a diffrent frame of mind because alot of people that havent played the game figure it must be pretty difficult to actually move him around...it is actually quite easy you use the numchuck controller to move around and you use the other controller to shake to spin attack and jump.
There are some area's off the game where you will just have to use the controller and tilt it sideways or move it up to role a ball or surf which is pretty fun but also diffucult at the same time.
The graphics in this game are the best on the wii yet you'll gradually start to stare off into space and at diffrent planets seeing how the colour freshly calms down your memory or when a huge boluder will start to run over you and you just keep staring at it going....awww....what im dead!?!
The details on all the characters are really nice and look alot just like Super Mario Sunshine but Super Mario Galaxy deffinetly has a better look and even feel to it as well as how the stars shine brightly into the players faces.
The is a multipalyer aspect in the game you can hook up another wii controler and that person can collect star bits and shoot them at eneimes but it really dosent come very useful unless you dont collect any star bits at all.
This game clocks in around id say about 12-15 hours depending if you play it just to get the 60 stars but in total there are 120 stars that you must find which will probably take you another 10 hours so if you wanna get every hidden star and every little commet orbiting around a planet then it could take you about 32 hours of non-stop Mario action which is quite a good thing for 50$
Overall this should be a YES YES YES!!! to any wii owner, platform wii owner, or just a mario lover and after you beat the game and collect the 120 stars....you might just go back through the game...with a hidden suprise
