Flawless controls, incredible art design, and a great sound track make Super Mario Galaxy the complete package.
The visuals are the best on the Wii and really show what it can do. The amazing art design, combined with great level design really make, Super Mario Galaxy stand out. The amount of polish in this game is incredible. The levels are perfectly laid out and everything about them just plain works. The gravity in the game adds a whole new level of gameplay as you're running around in space jumping from planet to planet. And the many side missions like surfing on a manta ray and being on top of ball keep the game exciting and new. I never got bored well playing it because the galaxies were always changing and you always seemed to be doing something new.
This is a dramatic improvement over Super Mario Sunshine and shows that Nintendo still knows what there doing. The amount of nostalgic things they put in this game is crazy, you feel like there's a little bit of every Mario game ever made in Galaxy. Everything's not perfect though. There's really not much of a story. It's the same one they've been using since the beginning, Bowser captures Peach, and it's up to Mario to get her back. This and the limited voice acting are easily over looked though, since the game is just so much fun to play.
This is some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game, and really brought me back to the days of playing Mario 64 on my N64. This game will take awhile to beat well collecting all 120 Stars, and you'll have a blast doing it. This is a must own for Wii owners and the best platformer since Mario 64! Add this all together and you'll see why it's GameSpot's 2007 Game of the Year!
