When the Nintendo 64 first game out Mario was right along side it, re-inventing the way gamers not only saw him, but how and what a platformer could be. The release of Super Mario Galaxy has the same impact and creates a "Mama-miha" heard round the world. Join Mario as he ventures into the galaxy to save Princess Peach from arch-nemesis Bowser. While the plot for this game is the same as other Mario titles, the gameplay is not.

Welcome to....NEEEEW GALAXY!

Mario Galaxy is the latest take on a 3-D Mario game by Nintendo. It's leaps and bounds ahead of Mario Sunshine *cringes*. This adventure take Mario to outer space on a Quest to stop Bowswer from his no good ways. He has to power a spaceship full of Lumas by collecting Stars to power the ship. This is a fun adventure that's all about the gameplay rather than the cutesy, kind of lame story.
Graphics: The graphics are some of the Wii's best yet! They are highly detailed and VERY colorful. Mario has never looked better and there is a large variety of world types without much repetition. Good Stuff
Sound: The sound comprises of nice music and all the classic Mario noises. Their is very little voice acting, and when there is it is just kind of weird and forced. Overall, it is fitting for a Mario Game.
Gameplay: You run around on varies planets. A lot of classic Mario is here, lots of platform jumping as well as on enemy heads lol. The new gravity features are cool, allowing Mario to walk upside down on ceiling and walk up walls. There are also varies power ups such as Fire Mario, bee Mario, and Boo Mario. They all have there own special uses on select levels. Their are even some racing segments which are quite fun.
Overall, this a birlliant, fun addition to your Wii library. Word on the street is that is is now only $20!!! Go get this now!

Platforming at its best

Over the years, Mario has been a staple of Miyamoto and his success with Nintendo. The dude is a creative genius. But with everybody, you start to lose your steam after a while. I mean, it's totally normal, because no matter how creative you are, you'll start losing your touch eventually, right? Wrong. Mario Galaxy's level design alone gives you an impression that Mr. Nintendo himself knows what he is doing. The game is a joy to look at, with vibrant colors pleasing the eye at every turn, and detailed characters, environments, and planets show off the Wii's technical capabilities. You control Mario with the Wii-mote and nunchuck without problems, and the orchestral sountrack has many melodious and nostalgic tunes. The game has that familiar nintendo charm, and is what every game should be-fun.This is a great Wii game. I mean think about it, it takes a while to create Mario games, and with the sheer amount of them that are already out, you'll expect this one to be sub par, but on the contrary-it isn't.

Masterpice

The game is simply a masterpiece. Unfortunately I was recovering from an operation when I got this game, and when I play it now, it kind of depresses me. It's so odd. The gameplay with the gravity is so innovative, and the levels are so well done. This game is a video game masterpiece. Unfortunately by the logic of some, this game is not technically a video game, because it's not a 1st person shooter and you don't get to blow anyone's head off.
