    Mario, An iconic name in the world today, Almost every mario game up to this point has always been fun but Mario galaxy
    was par at best, i didnt hate it and i didnt love it its about in the middle.
    The gameplay was smooth and fun just as most mario games, Animations were smooth and made the world seem vibrant and animated.
    But the whole planet jumpinf thing kinda bugged me. Not for stupid reasons mind you, Mostly the platforming was kinda off during some places. A planet that had holes all in it with some black hole in the middle of it, When i tried to jump over a small hole the wiimote kinda got klunky and i fell into those holes like a million times.
    But all in all, The controlls were well done.

    The problems with this game are pretty simple, The story is crap your on another collection quest and the 2 player mode sucks really really badly.

    But the good parts are as stated, The controlls were good the animations were great and for a wii game the graphics were fantastic.

    But all in all i cant give this game a very low score cause i understand that its not marketed for crowds like me, it's targeting people far younger than me.
    So i give it credit where credit is due, For someone who is playing it even though it is far past my comfort zone of games. Its a decent game.
    If you like mario and you can cope with those smaller flaws, The i reccomend this game.
    So go with the info i gave you and play some games.

        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...
