Mario brings his charming Gameplay upon this amazing adventure th
Super mario Galaxy Was nintendos big mario game for the Wii. Actually I feel they actually have a right to say that this time. Since Sunshine was such a let down its great to see that this game is so great
So to start off this is quite revolutionary but its still the same mario formula. You will have a HUB and then you jus go to each level like you would in any other 3D mario game. Accept now you are in a space so that really gives the game a great estetic look.
Speaking of how the game looks it is to say that this is the best looking wii game. Not just from a technical level because it looks good on a technical level but in speaking on an artistic level the game just plain looks so amazing. Everything from the planets to mario to all of the environment everything is just rich in color and has so much personality. The character models also look really good as they are beautifully colorful and full of detail.
Now this is kind of the same typical mario story. The story starts out in the annual mushroom festival and everything is all good and nothing could go bad. All of a sudden bowser comes and Kidnaps princess peach then you as mario must go and rescue her. Yeah it is a typical Mario storyline but what is interesting is that Bowser takes her into space and then mario goes chasing after and then ending up on a weird planet. I dont want to ruin anything else but then you meet rosalina so it is a nice change of pace.
The Sound in the game is just top notch. FIrst off the soundtrack is just so great. Everything from the new material to the retro music is just so well done that you would be wishing that there was a soundtrack. The sounds overall in the game are quite good. All of the enemies and other sound effects do sound good so its definetely does not get in the way.
But the real appeal is that this is a mario game and it adds a lot of nostolgia for older players but adds on a great new style that will appeal to just about anyone. The fact that they threw in all of the nostolgia from the retro music to the Amazing 2D platforming segments are just stunning and add onto the games style.
The big gimmick in this Mario game is the addition of the new gravity system. Now when you jump form mini planet to another mini planet the gracity will lift you onto the other planets and it is so satisfying. It works so well and they even take advantage of this great gameplay in the 2D segments which is a blast to use. Also Mario has suits like in Super mario brothers 3. Some of them are retro like the fire suit mario and a version of the flying cap, but the new ones are especially enjoyable with ice mario( he can walk on water) and bee mario which is pretty cool
Till about now all of the 3D marios in concept controlled all of the same. This one is quite similar as the same jumping mechanics apply to all of the flat land platforming which is always solid. With the inclusion of the wiimote and nuchucks they do add to the gameplay but dont get in the way of the traditional platforming. Using the wiimote you will be waggling it to do his new spin attack or pointing at the screen to collect star pieces. and their will be other instances such as controlling a stingray by tilting the wiimote all of theses instances feel great and dont feel needlessly tacked on like other games
So Mario galaxy isnt too revolutionary but offers so much in gameplay and amazing style. Mario has had good games but this mario take 3D mario games to another level. With great graphics and gamplay to add to the games sound design and controls everything in mario galxy works well and this is a game that is truly worth getting.
