Hey guys,
Well, I had a great half term and week end. To be honest, it more or less consisted of me hacking my way through the awesome boss levels on No More Heroes. I also found myself starting to read the awesome graphic novel Watchmen again (seeing as I never finished the final 2 or 3 chapters!!! Anyway, I finally completed the game on Saturday night. I played through the whole game on 'mild' mode, completing it in 26 hours. I realize this is a really bad time, but I spent a lot of time making sure I had the highest upgrades, videos and clothes, which caused me to spend a long time earning it again.
I started a review last night and am gonna try and complete that either tonight or tomorrow night.
Anyway, on Friday, my lovely mum (who happened to be in town whilst I was in school) was lovely enough to pop down to GAME and buy me a copy of the biggest Mario adventure yet - SUPER MARIO GALAXY :D Obviously, I was very very happy, but at this point I still had to beat the final boss on No More Heroes, 'Dark Star'. This meant I didn't get round to playing my new game until Sunday! Anyway, ONTO THE GAME!
Well, first impressions - AWESOME! I currently have 7 Power Stars, and have seen a sudden shock in the difficulty increase! I was left slightly confused in the first 4 power stars as I had seen reviews everywhere emphasizing it's rock hard difficulty. However, it soon kicked off, and the difficulty has really showed me what was missing in the prequel!
I'm also loving the addition of Yoshi! When I heard that he was to co-star in the game, I was a bit skeptical whether I'd like it. I quite enjoyed his brief appearances in New Super Mario Bros. (Wii), however didn't know if it would work in a 3D adventure. Turns out, it does. AWESOMELY! I can't help laugh every time I get knocked away from Yoshi and he starts crying! SO CUTE :D
The music is even better this time too! And the characters! And the graphics! And pretty much everything. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this game. As of next monday, I have 2 weeks off from school to do work experience which lasts only 3 hours a day, so in those other hours, you'll know where to find me. ON THE COUCH, GAMING :D
So yeh. Life's gooood. Japanese is starting to progress fast. woo :)
