Very Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is just spectacular!!!!!!!!!! What I love about it is that it's not hard. you can just take it out of the box and play it. I'm not the best at it so I love that I can just pick it up and have fun with it. There's lots of different Mario "people" you can turn into upon picking up a special mushroom or something like that. For example there's fire Mario, bee Mario, ice Mario, rainbow Mario and boo Mario. (boo Mario is a ghost Mario.) This game never gets boring at all! This game isn't worth deciding over. it's completely worth it. BUY IT!!!!!!!
Best Game On the Wii I've had this game since Christmas and love it! It is extremely fun and innovative with the crazy gravity engine. This game is not only fun but looks great for a Wii game. The game does have the basic plot of the Mario franchise: traveling from level to level collecting smaller stars and eventually collecting huge stars all the while trying to rescue Princess Peach and defeat Bowser. It has a fairly good replay value because there is the tough goal of collecting every single star in order to be able to play the game over as Luigi. Overall, in my opinion, this game is the best game released for the wii so far. It's fun for all ages, and yet challenging as well. A definite must have for any wii owner.
Grossly addicting When I saw the package, the namby pamby looking characters almost put me off. But reading literally dozens of reviews citing innovative gameplay won me over.
And those reviews were right.
Keeping in mind, this is technically a kids' game, it's easy to immerse one's self into the Mario Galaxy universe to complete the tasks. And if you think that sounds simple, it isn't.
The game's innovations come through the third dimension - literally. Walking up and down areas from a visual perspective that doesn't follow suit, this game excels at transforming the lore it started in 1985 -- and, at first, it comes across as jarring to be fighting nasties from a sideways or even upside down perspective, but that's part of the fun - and lasting value as I've never come across anything like this before. In short, mobility rocks.
If I were to have a gripe, maybe it is too cute-looking, and Nintendo did not need to superglue in the Mario lore for 'marketing and product identification' or whatever the money making term is -- this game is an innovative and creative adventure of its own accord. The Mario aspect is merely icing on a cake so rich it wouldn't have been necessary to include these old trademarks to garner interest.
As usual, Nintendo ups the ante with game focus and niche audiences, which is why the Wii became - and will remain - successful.
And, yeah, it's worth $50. :)
A must play! I almost feel obliged to write this review. That's how good Super Mario Galaxy is. The game uses the same mechanics as the two previous 3D Mario platformers (Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine). You have a hub world from which you go to different levels. Upon completion of a level, you receive a star. In Galaxy, you need 60 stars to play the final level and beat the final boss, but that's only half the game. There are really a total of 120 stars, and considering how great this game is, chances are you'll want to get all 120.
So what makes Galaxy so special? How about everything? Mario controls like a charm. His moves haven't changed much(if at all) from Mario 64, but why mess with near perfection? The Wii motion controls are also put to very good use, most notably to grab "starbits" from a distance. The level design in this game is phenomenal. Bending the rules of gravity often plays a big role in Galaxy, and it works very well. The graphics are often stunning, and are not hampered by the Wii's limited graphical capabilities. The music is fantastic, and fits the wondrous space theme of the game.
In short, Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best games of this console generation.
i love it Super Mario Galaxy is set in outer space, where Mario travels from galaxy to galaxy in order to collect Power Stars, which are earned by completing quests or defeating enemies. Each galaxy contains a number of planets and other space matter for the player to explore.
Very lovely gave although with a sad twist at the end definetly a must play game
