Even better than the other two, but lost some of its touch.
User Rating: 9.5 | Super Mario Galaxy WII
Super Mario Galaxy is truly a great game, but there have been a few mistakes that should have been fixed along the way. For those who don't know about this game, you play as Mario (and later Luigi, Mario's brother) as he goes save Princess Peach from the evil King Bowser, again (honestly, Peach needs to get better security than two plumbers and a bunch of Toads). Anyways, Mario is now in space, with the help of Lumas, star creatures, and a new person in the Mario history, Rosalina. Galaxy isn't a departure to the series, not like Sunshine anyways. You get the classice three jumps, the goombas, the koopas, the classic enemies, some new enemies, original music, new powers, old powers, and the big guy himself, Bowser. The boss battles are varied and fun, and you fight Bowser like you did in 64. You can see that this game is getting back on track. You can even play as Luigi, once you beat the game with all 120 stars (yes, you have to go through that, again.) Now, here's the downside. The feel of the game does feel familiar, but it lost some of its touch. Mario seems slower, he lost some of his height in jumping, and his voice is now terrible, compared to his previous games. Sure, a lot is familar, but lets face it, this certainly not the 64 title we worshipped. Also, the difficultly is now even higher, but some how you won't get a game over. There are so many of those stinking 1-up's that you could die 20 times, but you'll end up with 40 lifes remaining. You die all you want, but looks like you won't a game over that easily. Also, the 1-up's never disappear. They stay there, even if you die. You could play forever, and still not get a game-over. What was Nintendo thinking? Next there's the extremely annoying side missions to get all 120 stars. They are hard. Real hard. Be prepared to die, a lot. Especially for the Toy Box level for the purple coins. The two-player option isn't very necessary; all it does is kill the first player easier if you're not ready. The last is Luigi. He isn't worth all those 120 stars to play as. His voice is even more annoying than Mario's, and his controlls stink more than Mario's. Well, I have said a lot of bad things for this game, but these really don't hamper the fact that this is still a great, overall game for all.
