Being the most hyped up Wii game up to date, Super Mario Galaxy had HUGE expectations. The Gamecube installment of the Mario series, Super Mario Sunshine, was fun, but wasn't completely satisfying. I mean, come on, a jet pack filled with water? Super Mario Galaxy, as all Mario games, doesn't have much of a unique story. Bowser captures Peach, and you have to rescue her. Which makes me wonder (this is a little off subject) but wouldn't have Bowser realized that Peach is out of his league? Why doesn't he go after some other chick, like Rosalina? Anyways, like I was saying, the story in Galaxy isn't much different from previous Mario games of the olden days. What is different, though, is the way the story is presented. The theme of Galaxy is space and gravity, which was a bold move by Nintendo. Many games have tried celestial themes, but none pulls it off like Galaxy, and the Wii-specific controls are the icing on the cake. And if you have seen any of the game play movies, you know that the graphics are SPECTACULAR. The Wii isn't exactly a graphics beast, but Nintendo did a really good job on this one, with no dips in frames-per-second. The game play: fun, addictive, and elegantly designed. The graphics: indescribable. Super Mario Galaxy: the best game by far for the Wii, and the perfect gift for this holiday season.
Experience it for yourself. GET THIS GAME. PERIOD.
