    Super Mario Galaxy Review

    I have to admit, I wasn't that excited for this game. I thought it would be good, but not great. After playing this though, I knew I was wrong. This is one f the greatest games that I've ever played.

    In terms of story, there's not much. Princess peach has been captured by Bowser, yet again, and Mario has to go rescue her.There is also an optional side story involving a princess named Rosalina. The gameplay, on the other hand, is where Galaxy really shines.It plays perfectly and doesn't use the Wiimote in any unnecassary ways. The great gameplay is also backed up by amazing level designs. Some of them have you moving around while the force of gravity changes, swimming, floating around in a giant bubble, racing on a manta-ray, or rolling around on a glass ball. And that's barely scratching the surface. There are dozens of galaxies. In some of these levels, Mario can get power-ups. These range from classic power-ups such as the ability to shoot fireballs and invincibility, to new ones like the the ability to change into a bee and the ability to change into a ghost. After you complete each stage, you get a star. You need 60 stars to beat the game, but there are 120 in total. After you get all 120, you can replay all of these with Luigi, and you get a level that only Luigi can get the star from.

    The game has great graphics. They are the best on the Wii yet. The game also has an amazing soundtrack. easily the best of the year. 

    In conclusion, Super Mario Galaxy is an amazing game, it plays great, it sounds great, everything is perfect. Bottom Line is, if you own a Wii, you must play this game.

      Mario in the sky with diamonds 0

        For the longest time, it seemed like something was amiss from Mario games. I would argue that it has been at least a decade since this “it factor” vanished. The product of this missing “it factor” was soulless gimmick titles like Luigi’s Mansion and Mario Sunshine. For awhile it seemed like Nintendo acknowledged this too, with shameless reaches at nostalgia like New Super Mario Bros and Yoshi’s 2. These were titles struggling to recreate the magic of better games by imitating them, step by s...

      The Wii has its "killer app" 0

      To be blunt, Super Mario Galaxy is a great game. Obviously the best the Wii has seen in this year it has been out. This is basically the game that nearly every Wii owner bought their Wii for. This is the game that hardcore gamers have been begging for. Although it is a fantastic game for longtime Nintendo fans, new and non-gamers will love it as well. For example, my six year old sister saw me playing this and asked if she could start a file. Nintendo has nailed it. The story, as in every other...
