    The best 3D Platformer ever created. 0

    THE GOOD: The controls are smooth, extremely responsive and feel right once you get used to them; Plenty of gameplay variety with the right amount of very well implemented fresh ideas and the right amount of familiar platforming gameplay - all refined almost to perfection; Simple and intuitive use of the Wii remote that makes the experience more engrossing than it would have been with a regular controller; Some of the best and more diverse level designs of any 3D platformer, that are able to ...

    A superb game, but still shares some flaws. 0

    First of all, Super Mario Galaxy should have had better graphics. That's definite. With the Wii's hardware, the graphics could have had much more detail. Also, the camera angle was very annoying at times. However, all of the enemies were fun to battle, and this is probably the first Mario game to actually have more than 3 ways to attack an enemy. I liked how they featured Luigi as a playable character after finishing the story with Mario, and it was cool how Luigi and the Toads literally helped ...

    Galaxy Review 0

    Is this the worthy successor to Super Mario 64? Yes. This game is amazing. It almost definitely places itself in the category of "greatest games ever" There is nothing mediocre about it whatsoever. It starts out with Mario going to see Peach during the centennial passing of a comet. While going to the castle, Bowser comes with a fleet of Pirate ships and literally rips the castle out of the ground and pulls it into space. Mario gets knocked off the castle and falls into the orbit of a small "pl...

    Super Mario Galaxy Review 0

    Lets start off with the story on super Mario galaxy. The story in this game is among the best. I love all the stories in Mario when browser steels peach but this one is the best. The whole space idea I thought was great. It had a good story behind it. The story when you had to get enough was great when you had to go into different places and blast off into different levels, which I thought, was interesting.The levels in Super Mario Galaxy are great they put allot of thought into them and they al...

    Everyone's Favorite Plumber is back.. IN SPACE. 0

    Mario's latest romp on the Wii won't disappoint long time fans. All the old features of Super Mario we have come to love over the years are still here along with a few new twists for fans and newcomers alike.Super Mario Galaxy is one of those games Wii owners have been waiting for, and it is finally here. Mario's latest adventure starts off the way we've come to expect. Bowser whisks away Peach and you must give chase. Only this time, Mario finds himself plucked out of the Mushroom Kingdom and f...

    I am Incredibly Pleased 0

    Super Mario Galaxy is a great game. Oddly enough, water effects always seem to be the best on Nintendo systems. Go figure. This game looks beautiful. The art style and graphics really make up for an amazing product. The unique gameplay doesn't dissapoint either. But, the music really impressed me. Full orchestra and a well-written score really add to the experiecne of playing this game. If you own a Wii, but this game.........now! 5 out of 5...

    There's something in the way he moves 0

    Completing a game's story and beating the boss is an accomplishment in most games. In the case of Super Mario Galaxy, the game is just getting started by the time you've beat Bowser for the final time and saved Princess Peach and the universe. Miyamoto and team have taken everything they've learned about good and bad gameplay in the last 20 or so years and created a game that's both simple and deep.Aside from some sadistic RPGs, beating the final boss and being only 25% done with the game is unh...

    Super Mario Galaxy Review 0

    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 Wi...

    Mario makes Jason Vorhees proud! 0

        Nintendo has to be on something. Think about it. If I told you that a small Italian plumber flies through space to save the universe and his (pseudo) girlfriend, you would probably start foaming at the mouth and fall to the ground convulsing or run away screaming and failing your arms wildly. Nevertheless, Super Mario Galaxy provides an amazingly challenging platformer dressed up in a super cute polish with a new mind-bending look at something we have never seen before in the Mario universe:...

    A Return to Form, While Reinvigorating the Classic Franchise 0

    Some people cried foul after the Wii launched without a Mario game. However, after the mediocre reception Super Mario Sunshine received, Shigeru Miyamoto and the team at Nintendo promised to reinvigorate the franchise. Luckily, Nintendo has kept its promise and brought a new Mario game that is completely fresh---whether it be control scheme, musical score or artistic design. The game keeps with the traditional Mario game structure while the change of setting allows for an unprecedented imaginati...

    AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! 0

    In my opinion this is the best WII game, and will apeal to a much wider audience than SSBB, as i dont see any reason in buying that game. As for Gaxlay well I basicly bought my WII for it. Some people might think that it doesnt have a story line therefore it renders it's useless, well you should think again becuase the story isnt the best but it definetly stands out more than in the past mario games. Also the levels arnt so linear (not just running right). The physx and graphics are definetly th...

    Final Thoughts: Super Mario Galaxy 0

    I fully completed Super Mario Galaxy about a week from the day I got it. What does that mean? In a nutshell, it means the game had to be either a) really short or b) really good (because I rarely ever have enough time to finish a game that quickly nowadays). Obviously, the answer is "b". The game is so good, it's almost impossible to turn off. You always want to go just a little longer to get just one more star... and well, I'm sure you all know how that ends up. As is my usual goal with the 3D...

    Mario games dont get much better 0

    Super Mario Galaxy had the potential to just copy Mario Sunshine or Mario 64. This would have a made a good game for most gamers and a great one for avid Mario fans. The weird thing is Nintendo made an incredibly new sequel. This is perhaps the best game in 2007 and this was no lackluster year. There is absolutely nothing you can complain about with this game. The graphics are some of the best we may ever see on the Wii for awhile. It just doesn't hit you with great modernization of our favorite...

    I guess thats why alot of people say it was the best game of 2007 0

    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.

    An exceptional platformer that that has you sailing through space 0

    The Good Genius platforming and puzzles Astounding graphics and artstyle Good controls Great new powerups Fairly lengthy "Storybook" is kind of nice The BadSome awkward underwater moments with camera and controlsSome tedious "Purple Coin" missionsThe Review Super Mario Galaxy is Nintendo's big Mario game for the Wii and it's definitely a massive game. It practically leaks with sheer brilliance and quality. Wii owners, this is the must get game. The game starts off with a sort of storybook ope...

    A Whole New World... 0

    Mario on the wii had two possibilities, either it would be a visually updated version of Mario 64 with a few motion controls thrown in or it would be a game that’s wholly original. What would never have been suspected is that it could be both at the same time. From the moment Mario first appears on the screen it’s easy to tell how much work has gone in to the visuals. It has no highly realistic graphics packed full of polygons, but what it does have is a very unique style to it that makes it one...

    One of Mario's finest adventures 0

    The story behind Galaxy will come as no surprise to anyone who has played a Mario game before, basically Mario receives a letter from Peach to come to the castle as she has a special gift for him, however once Mario arrives at the castle he finds Bowser and his son causing chaos with the aid of a fleet of airships and before his very eyes a UFO picks the Princess’s castle from the ground and sets off into space.Mario is obviously is quite miffed that this has happened once again, probably thinki...

    A truly amazing game! 2

    Mario is on his first real adventure on the Wii. But will it even begin to live up to the hype it has been getting? Yes.StoryThe story in Super Mario Galaxy is simple. During an annual Mushroom Kingdom Cometfestival, Bowser once again comes and rips Princess Peach's castle out of the ground. Mario is zapped out into space. When he wakes up he meets this strange new character named princess Rosalina. Princess Rosaline offers to help Mario. The story isn't great but thats pretty obvious. No Mario ...

    How They Gonna Top This 0

    In 1996 nintendo made a game called super mario 64. That game redefined platformers and all 3D games after it. Many dvelopers including nintendo have tried to capture the feeling of that game, none have been able to do it, until now. Nintendo has finally made a game that I think is safe to think that is able to superpass Sm64. Presentation: Like almost all mario games galaxy does not have a heavy emphasis on plot. Bowser is back and he kidnappes peach and you have to save her. You meet up with a...

    This is definitely the game the Wii was made for. 0

    This game is absolutely outstanding. It definitely deserves it's title of GOTY 2007. If you are a Wii owner this is the one and only must have game for the Wii. As good as SSBB,MKW,MOH2, and all the other high rated games this is the one game you have to have or get. The gameplay in this is incredible. You'll find yourself playing this game at 3 in the morning just because its so fun and smooth. The game doesn't over-use or under-use the Wii-mote, well at least to me. The sound is one of the man...

    Super Mario Galaxy is the best 3D platformer around 0

    Mario platformers have always maintained a good standard and this is not just one of the best games in the series it is one of the best games ever made.The story is Mario is invited to Peachs Castle but as he is about to get there Bowser shows up and lifts Peachs Castle into the sky while Mario is there and he is hit by a magikoopa. He wakes up to find that Bowser has taken Peach to the center of the Galaxy and the only way to get there is by collecting stars.Super Mario Galaxys gameplay is amaz...

    SMG is everything we have been waiting for and even more! 2

    Like many other games (or rather all of the other games) in the series, the game starts off with Princess Peach getting kidnapped.... again. This time though, prepare to leave your safety zone of the mushroom kingdom for, no, not that craptacular tropical paradise Isle Delfino, but the boundless area of outer space. You'll quickly become familiar with a princess-like character, Rosalina (commonly referred to as simply "mama"). Your hub world is set on her starship, the observatory. Like in Super...

    Super Mario galaxy is the newest installment in probably NINTENDOS most popular franchise, and it's understandable why!Like most Mario games you play as the lead plumber Mario and go into different realms(or in this case worlds!) and try to find the STAR at the end of the level, when you have enough stars you go to a special realm/world and fight a boss there to get the GRAND STAR!Super Mario Galaxy is the plumbers first proper game on the Wii and thankfully it's fantastic!The controls are exell...
