 Super Mario Galaxy- A Super Review November 18, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Honestly, I've been a fan of Nintendo and Mario for all my life.br /br /That said, I think I obviously had high expectations for this latest entry into the franchise. I'll be honest, Super Mario Sunshine was a bit of a letdown on the Gamecube. The game seemed to separate itself from the original Marios of yesteryear.br /br /This is where Super Mario Galaxy changes things. From the moment you power on your console, and here those magical words "Super Mario Galaxyyyyyy", you'll feel like a little kid again.br /br /Initially, you might sit around saying the game seems easy, but once you get into it, I think it becomes obvious it's not all about difficulty. You're immersed in massive and beautiful 3-D worlds that are brought to life on Wii. It's hard to go through the game and not be excited about what you'll see next.br /br /My favorite part of the game has to be the soundtrack. It's orchestral and nicely complements the game itself. It's a mixture of traditional Mario themes, original songs that are revamped, and many new cues that immerse you even more into the world.br /br /There's a fair share of mini-boss battles that keep you on your toes, along with new power-ups like Spring Mario, Bee Mario, and the Ice Flower. Even knowing what to expect, you'll catch a lot of little additions and tweaks to powerups that will surprise you. br /br /I don't have any experience with the multiplayer aspect, but honestly, I think most people could enjoy themselves not even playing...just watching....and taking it all in. It's perfect for all ages. br /br /Consider this a MUST-OWN Wii title...it should at least hold you over until Smash Bros. Brawl debuts
You wont have more fun with any other game ever made! November 17, 2007

This is quite possibly the greatest game ever made. Each galaxy is amazing. The controls are simple and work perfectly. Some galaxies even have 2Dish parts where you feel like your playing the original. The first time i played i went seven hours strait and felt bad when i had to stop to get some sleep.
A Mario above all Marios... November 17, 2007

I had very high expectations from this game and so far it has exceeded them.br /br /Graphically it's just beautiful, stunning and just plain amazing. Screenshots just don't do justice for the game.br /br /In many ways it plays like Mario 64. And don't take that as a bad thing, what I mean is that the game feels very intuitive as to how the mechanics work which makes the learning curve nearly nonexistent.br /br /Some of music and sound in the game are a kickback to all of the older Marios that we have all played. What is a Mario game without some Super Mario 3 music?br /br /But the main thing for me is how fun and different it is. Even though it seems like you might have already done this or that in another game, it adds a completely different twist to it that makes it more exciting and fun then anything you have ever played.br /br /Super Mario Galaxy has completely revolutionized the way you think of a platformer. And at this point the bar has been pushed so high it's galaxies (pun intended) beyond any other platformer I have played or probably will play for years to come.br /br /Plain and simple, this is the game to own on the Wii!

This game makes me fell what i felt about Nintendo 17 years ago when I was a kid with the original NES and the original Mario. Wow what an experience, I feel like a kid again. This game has gone excelled all my expectations. One of the best games ever made great for all ages.br /br /Thanks Nintendo for bringing back my childhood.

I bought the Prima Official Game Guide book. I believe that this will help this almost 65 year old technogeek play Super Mario Galaxy (SMG) and get unstuck.br /br /When I loaded the game the first time it updated my Wii console software. Then SMG asked me to pick a Mii, presumably for saving the game. After selecting the Mii SMG spun the Mii completely around showing the back side of the Mii! That was very cool. The game doesn't start showing the Bowser attack video until after you run down the path into town. One can only wonder what kind of personal gift Princess Peach had in mind for Mario.br /br /You've already read all the good stuff about SMG but here's some minor glitches. At times your TV screen goes black while the Wii console reads the disk for the next part of Mario's adventure. The camera view doesn't always move with Mario so you'll be running around a planet upside down at times. I noticed that Mario didn't turn as hard on the run as my joy stick button wanted him to. You will see characters like Princess Peach and Rosalina moving their lips talking to Mario but you hear no speech. All you get is a sign board and background music. Maybe Peach and Rosalina were speaking silent Japanese.br /br /This game was running great until my Mario got killed inside the metal planet just before the Comet Observatory. No matter. I've got the book to tell me how make Mario advance. SMG will only save your game at certain stages.br /br /I hooked up a Wii S-video cable to my Sony Wega but couldn't tell much difference from the standard Wii cable video quality.br /br /I'm sure this game puts the Wii CPU and video processor to its full maximum capacity. This game will not disappoint. Five Stars Plus.
