A great and beautiful display of Wii power! The BEST 3D Mario ever.

User Rating: 9.5 | Super Mario Galaxy WII
At first glance I thought: "ah well. Here comes another attempt to revive the Super Mario 64 era. Lemme see what Nintendo shells out this time..."

The moment I saw that little fat man run around those planetoids... I was speechless.

Needless to say, you can basically see that I'm very impressed. Nintendo has finnaly struck gold (again) with good old 'fatty Mario. Mainly, the biggest and juiciest part of the game is level design. The intricate loops and jumps and the view of the universe is just breath taking.

I am truly amazed at the graphics Galaxy displayed. Not just "good for the Wii" graphics, but beautiful and artisic. The almost trippy amount of bright colors and the lighting make the world seem to come alive, the mysterious "glow" emanating from every single object adds to the "epic factor" of the game.

The controls are very easy to learn, but difficult to master. Jumping at the right moment takes time and practice (and lot'sa controller bashing); but the game is pieced together very well and it's one of the greatest video games I have ever played. ever.

But why not a perfect score, if it's such a great game?

-(SPOILER ALERT)-

Because if anyone tries to bother finishing the entire game with Mario AND Luigi AND all of 121 stars, you will find that Nintendo politely gives you a "congrats for gettin' all the stuff, now go get a life" message. So, in short, there is no reward. So don't bother finishing the entire game.

Other than that, it's a beautiful and extraordinary game and was a pleasure to play.

Message to people who aren't sure if they want to buy it:

BUY THE GAME!
