  Best Mario Game Since Mario 64
Review created: 11/15/07(updated 11/21/07)

Mario has been ever since the 80's been Nintendo's "go to guy" when they needed sales. The mascot, the staple of one giant among giants in the gaming industry.
I'd have to say that the reviews I'd read and heard from other sources tend to about spot on. Case in point, this is the 1st Mario game if not game in general to have a realistic gravity effect. This is why Mario Galaxy gets a 4/5 from me.

Storyline - 3/5
The story is pretty much what you have seen before in the Mario franchise.The story is the only bad thing about this game because we've seen the same thing many times.The story mimics that of what we're already been feed like Mario 64. Mario just heads to Peach's castle after a sent invitation to a night festival and Bowser invades by pulling the princess's castle and taken into other space. Actually now that I think about it, it seems like the exact same story as Paper Mario for the 64. A homage maybe back to the "Sorry, but your princess in is another castle"

Gameplay + Control - 4/5
This is a very close 5/5 believe me. The graphics are breathtaking, the game is simply glorious. The 360 degrees of freedom that your allowed to navigate with the elegancy of the free roaming camera angels. The different suits Mario changes in and out of work seamlessly with easy transaction.

Controlling Mario can be a little hard at initially, if you are not experienced with his games, but it won't take long to get a hang on the controls. Everything is sweet and straightforward, whatever screen your on if it be the main screen or the HUD, the controls are simple.The + and - buttons serve the same purpose, basically they are the start button. The Direction Pad lets you look around in directions (Along with a first person view), but there is always the C button to make the camera look in the direction Mario is facing.

Replay Value - 5/5
Their’s about 30 to 40 hours of game time, included in that are some 2-D scrolling aspects along with the option to collect all the 100+ stars just like in Mario 64, even though it only takes about 60 to finish the game. There is a two player mode, along with a “Trial Galaxies".

Music - 4/5
The in game music is soothing at times and hard on the ears. The music helps set the mood for the level, or even for a power-up you have just obtained. It can range from serene, to chaotic, and to dark. Not to mention the classic Mario Bros songs you will hear, which will no doubt give you the feeling of nostalgia.

The replay value is quite high until you get to the point of beating the game over and over again. If only Nintendo had a way to add extra content to their games threw downloads, the possibilities for this would be almost endless, but once again Nintendo delivers a great game with Mario in it (Well, till Smash Bros. Brawl is out)

The graphics are outstanding for the Wii. The music and controls are excellent. The gameplay is very intuitive. This game is easy to pick up, and fun to play. The ever changing angles could make you queasy after extended gameplay, but this game is highly reccomended. Definately on of the best Wii games yet.

This game has great graphics and is very fun to play. It is hard to figure out how to get the second player in though. This is a great game for kids and adults. There is strategy to it and it will remind you of the original mario brothers games!

The game had one scratch, it plays perfectly fine, love playing it. I was not going to pay the brand new store price. I do not mind used games as long as it is in good condition. It was an excellent purchase.

  Super Mario Galaxy-Fun for Adults too!
Review created: 05/08/08
by:

As an occasional female adult gamer, I was surprised that this game has really kept me interested over a period of two months--and I'm still just as engaged. There are lots of galaxies to explore, with various difficulty levels. If one level seems too hard, there are always others open that are easier for you to conquer. The graphics are good, but the exciting game play is really fantastic. While I think I am a long way off from finishing the game, completing each galaxy gives you a sense of accomplishment that satisfies you enough for the time being. I highly recommend this game as a staple to your Wii collection.

This game is the reason to get the Wii. It's a truely amazing, awe-inspiring game to be seen and played. This is a game for everyone. You don't have to be a game guru to appreciate it. The steady learning curve ensures any gamer can sit down and give a spin. Every part of the game is so beautiful and lovingly detailed and effortlessly fun to play. If you have a Wii, get this game. If you don't, get this game and a Wii.

My kids love this game especially the younger one (8 years old). I really like it too, but I am prone to motion sickness and the fact that you are running circles around a sphere for a lot of it does me NO good. Too bad to because I love the Mario series.

I would definately recommend it though.

  The Awesome Super Mario Galaxy!
Review created: 04/30/08

I love the game there are so many different strategies and characters. The design of the game is awesome. The missions are tough but rewarding in the end. I enjoy playing as mario and his different forms. The forms are fire Mario, boo Mario, ice mario, rainbow mario, and spring mario.

I decided to buy Super Mario Galaxy because I love mario games. I've played them since I was a kid. Also I just had to have this game. This game furthers the Super Mario series because they take the game to outer space? There are so many characters in Super Mario Galaxy even Lugi.

He gets mario in so many situations where mario ends up getting him out of trouble. When they are searching for the stars Lugi, sometimes gets caught and becomes held captive in the area of the star. Finding all the power stars and using them to power the Comet Observatory that is a spaceship will help Mario.
He must get help from the keeper of the ship Rosalina to find Princess Peach.
The game is has action, adventure, and strategy.

It is a wonderful and incredible game. The space graphics, and great. It also has a co-star mode. Which you could have a friend help out while you play or collect star bits. My favorite parts in this game is when I battle the bosses for the power stars.

This is an excellent game. On a scale from one to one-hundred I would give this game a 100 if I was an offical game rater. I decided to buy this game because It is so incredible and it is a great challenge. I enjoy playing and beating the game. Super Mario Galaxy is the best game in the world.

  Super Mario Galaxy - Believe the Hype
Review created: 04/29/08
by:

I read all the reviews, I saw all the hype but I just didn't "get" how this game could be THAT good. When I saw decent prices on used copies here on ebay I picked one up. Now I get it. This game rocks! The graphics are some of the best on the Wii and the gameplay keeps you playing and playing and playing.

This game is an excellent game. It will take advantage of the wii controller as well as test your knowledge of game play and maps. It is fun and hard at the same time. I would recommend it to anyone but my 5 year old son has some difficulty with someof the levels

I like the game. It is fun to play. Unfortunatly it says it is for two players but the second player is just a flying star which helps Mario. Also, the graphics are just alright.

  Excellent Game Play!
Review created: 04/08/08

Another Mario great! This game has it all! Great graphics, great game play, and lots of game play. There is enough stars to get to keep you occupied for many hours. It's a fun, yet challenging game for people of all ages. Nintendo did a great job incorporating interactive game play into this Mario game!

  Super Mario Galaxy - A little out there!
Review created: 04/07/08
by:

In true Mario fashion, you are led from here to there and back again in this game. Also in true Mario fashion, if you're a fan you'll love it! (It follows in the footsteps of Super Mario Sunshine.) It's very challenging to get through the levels and find all the hidden items and secrets. I'm one of those that likes to find EVERYTHING, and let me tell you on some of these it is TOUGH!! It's different playing with the two remotes (nunchuck and Wii), but it's nice that you have the option to have someone help you along the way (player 2). Sometimes the second player can be distracting, but it's worth the distraction in lives saved and star bits scored. If you've played the Marios before this, you'll do well - lots of 1-ups along the way so you don't have to worry. But be ready for some real challenges, too! Enjoy!

Review created: 04/07/08

I've played the Mario World type games before and never did like them much but this one has made it to the top of my favorites list. Small children will find the graphics very colorful and lively even though they may find this game hard for them to play but hey........us adults/grandparents needs something fun to play...right? I don't think you will be disappointed in this game. Your whole family will have hours of fun.

This is an awesome game!! If you love Mario like me, then you will love this game! It has so many different levels and all are fun! It is a 2-player game and I thought you can play as Luigi, but you actually just help Player 1. Still super fun though!!! I recommend this game to anyone. :)
