So while I was paying off the pre-order for mass effect and galaxy low and behold i look over and there is a playable kiosk of mario galaxy. So i decided hmm i have ten minutes to get back to the office... i guess i will be late back to the office.

running down the road to the castle is a ton of fun. the way i imagined mario in 3-d all those years back is finally a reality. sure mario 64 was great sunshin while an enjoyable game just did not feel like a real mario game but this this feels like a mario game and looks how the mushroom kingdom should look!

the controls are very fluid and i found myself actaully saying damn this looks really good for a game on the wii. i must have said it out loud because the gamestop employs behind me said yea the wii seems to be able to handle alot more than people give ti credit for.

the cut scences are top notch. something i find very strange for a game that does not need cutscens. i mean it is a plat-former. plat-formers are not known for there epic story cutscenes. but these are pretty up there. the characters are very well designed and brought to life. the animations are very fluid and everything just has this make you want to smile feel to it. the camera does not skip a beat, always floating smoothly behind you. i never found myself (in the demo) wishing that it was at a different angle. the only reason i wished i could control the camera was so i could get a better look at my gorgeous surroundings. sometimes i did not want to be able to see where i was going i wanted to see what i was going by.

I cant wait for my pre order to get in so i can play this game in its entirety.
