Super Mario Fun June 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I remember when the Super Mario 64 came out many years ago. I thought that it was the pinnacle of Mario and that it could not get any better. I was wrong. I have not gotten any Mario games since Super Mario 64 because I had heard that none of them measured up. Super Mario Galaxy measures up and goes far beyond anything I could have imagined.
The story line is similar to Super Mario 64 with Mario finding stars in order to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser only this time Mario must travel across the universe to find her. The game is incredibly original and has what seems like an endless amount of super fun levels to play. I have been playing the game for 2 - 3 hours per day for the past couple weeks and am not even 3/4 through. I definitely recommend getting the Prima Game Guide. It just made the game a lot for fun for me because without it would have taken so much longer. With it I can actually play the game.
The game also takes full advantage of the Wii remote. You can spin, steer in some races, and collect some goodies all with the Wii remote.
This game is great and there is basically no learning curve.
New Experience... June 12, 2008

First time I saw the display at local game store, I thought playing this game will bring headache since the characters in the game can wandering around upsidedown, but when I play, it's really fun, and after some times I'm getting used looking at the upsidedown characters.
Must Buy June 10, 2008
This is a GREAT game. If you have a Wii, and don't own this game, stop reading right now, and buy it. You will not be disappointed. Don't wait for the price to drop. Buy it now. I won't write a long review, others have done a far better job than I could. It is a fun game and you will play it for a long time. Even when you are not playing, it is entertaining to watch your friends/children/spouse play.
Mario's latest adventure is a real mind-bender! June 9, 2008

The premise of Super Mario Galaxy is the same as it always has been: complete a series of short mini-stages, collecting coins and stars along the way, then fight Bowser to rescue the princess. What's different this time is that your mission takes you across the Universe, and a few dozen small galaxies along the way. These galaxies are made up of tiny planets; and when I say tiny, I mean Mario can run the entire circumference of many worlds in a matter of seconds. The trick is that each planet has its own gravity field, so you can run upside-down and sideways without falling to your death.
The level designers make creative use of gravity throughout the game, so much so that you wonder how they were able to come up with some of the stages. Super Mario Galaxy forces you to change the way you think about space and perspective in games. Oftentimes if you are stuck, it's not because the enemies are too hard or the jumps are too tricky, but because you haven't looked at your situation from every possible angle.
This sounds pretty intimidating, but the game lets you take these challenges in bite-sized pieces. Once you've completed what you need to do on a planet, you can launch yourself to the next one, and so on until you get the star for that level. Despite all the gravity-bending gameplay, the levels are more or less linear. There is never any need to backtrack to previous planets--in fact, you can't go back once you've launched yourself. You continue facing one task at a time, always moving forward, until the end of the game. It's also worth mentioning that each of the 120 stars takes around 5 or 10 minutes to collect, and you always have a chance to save and quit before going after the next one. This allows you to fit in time to play without having to clear your schedule.
If you have even the tiniest affection for platforming games, then know that Super Mario Galaxy is the most epic, imaginative, enjoyable, and just plain best platformer ever made. It's always challenging without being punishingly difficult, the levels are epic in scale without being overwhelming, and the fun is long-lasting without forcing you to play for hours at a time.
Very fun game! June 9, 2008
Great take on Mario. The game is long (which is awesome!). My son (4.5 yo) can't quite use the controls to play by himself, but the 2 player options allows him to help mom or dad play and feel like he is a part of the action.
Definitely would recommend this game to others!
