Famitsu and EDGE magazine (scores) Mario Galaxy, Warhawk, Opoona

Famitsu

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii, Nintendo): 10 / 9 / 9 / 10 - (38/40)

"The game takes place in a 3D space where you could be walking on the ground or upside down. Normally that would look like it is difficult to control, but you can play this instinctively. The balance is just perfect and it is a game anyone can really play."

"Gimmicks and actions using the game's unique gravity, and fun boss fights definitely delivers on the Mario name. It is even just fun to watch if you are not playing."

"The game's pacing is very good, you get hooked more and more. I am glad that the game is not too easy or too difficult. Collecting the star piece by pointing the Wiimote is already fun in itself."

"The excitement of Mario 64 is back! Lots of features that are perfect for the Wii, and you get addicted wanting to know what kind of obstacles await you in the next stage. Difficulty gradually increases and the map layout is great. Every game fan should play this game."

* Keeps up the feeling of "I wanna see what's in the next level!"
* Gradually builds up things available in game, keeping a good difficulty balance and level design.
* Gravity change gimmicks and special actions improve boss fights.
* Wiimote controls work almost too well
* Tempo is abnormally good
* Just being able to point and gather star pieces in exhilarating.
* Game everyone can enjoy

Whew! 38/40 is a refreshing breeze of nerve-calming air! That's a 9.5! I did my math. :P

So that's good. Now I'm pretty confident that Mario Galaxy will be a possible AAA title for sure. Looks like the praise for the controls is a Wiinner! :D

But what's up with those God of War scores? At least Famitsu loved it.

These comments are so funny:

Wiimote controls work almost too well
Tempo is abnormally good

It's like they're saying: "This game is just too good, it should not be allowed"

Excellent scores for Mario Galaxy and Ace Combat 6.

Mario Galaxy looks to be an amazing game and is yet another one on my ever-growing list of games to get when I get around to picking up a Wii.

I loved the Ace Combat 6 demo and am a fan of the series so I'm definately pretty pumped to pick up this game next week, can't wait.

Ratchet as good as Ace Combat? Riiiiight.

emm looks cute. Is it only in Japan?gamingqueen

Opoona? Not sure yet. So far yes but it would take a few months to be translated anyway.

Surprised to see such a low score for Folklore.

A 10 for the Orange Box though, wow. I think Edge has only given out 5-7 10 scores since the publication started in the early 90s.
