Super Mario Galaxy

For many years Mario has always taken the spotlight for Nintendo every year on any Nintendo system. Mario has strucked the Wii and got alot of people's attention in 2007 with Mario Galaxy.
Basic story Princess Peach gets kiddnapped by Bowser and his army and it's up to Mario to save the princess. But this time Mario has to go through the universe and collecting stars to help the Lumas and there mother Rosalina who helps Mario out on his quest to save Peach and the fate of the unvierse. Alot of people say that Mario Galaxy was alot like Super Mario 64 and brings them back alot of memories for most gamers.

Gameplay= Useing the Wii mote and nunchuck to move Mario is simply stright foward to any gamer, useing the nunchuck to move Mario and the Wii mote to shake the mote to spin or jump or swim. There are alot of puzzles and bosses to go through and collecting 120 stars altogethor, but you would need 60 stars in ordered to beat the game and stopping Bowser again like you would see in other Mario games, at every boss battle if you beat them you'll get a Grand Star and they can unlock more stages, the more stars you get the more levels there are. You can use these crystal gems to buy or unlock new levels that you'd probably see in other platformer games like Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank. Mario can change into different oufits to get to other places like Bee Mario can fly making you reach higher places or Ghost Mario where you can go through walls or everyone's favourite Fire Mario.

Graphics and Sound= I love how Nintendo have done to the graphics more closer to a good PS2, beautiful enviroments and planets to blast through.If they brought a sequel or a spin off on the DS I can imagine that the graphics are gonna be like that close to the Wii version. I also loved hearing the soundtrack on some planets the music for that world are really worth listening to close to epic games like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. Some tracks do make you feel your a part of that planet it also has everyone's favourite tune which the Mario them which you'll probably hear near the end of the game obiously you must of heard of the main theme to a Mario game.

Overall= Collecting 60 stars can take you up to more then 20 hours but if you want to collect 120 it'll take more then that and unlocking bonuses in cluding Hidden Chapter where you can play as Luigi who does help Mario out by telling you where he finds the stars for you. After playing Galaxy for more then 5 days it was amazing for a Wii game, I could not stop playing it just felt like a really good platformer which I havn't played in years for Mario fans or gamers Galaxy is amazing game for any age. I was wanting more in Galaxy but I guess there are many things to do before waitng for the next Mario game.
