Product Description
What's the one place large enough to stage Mario's biggest adventure? Outer space, of course. Super Mario Galaxy is the latest in a long line of Mario platformers that will make you change the way you look at video games. From the amazing diversity of galaxies and a new array of special suits for Mario to the incredible control scheme offered through the Wii Remote, Super Mario Galaxy is the ultimate Mario experience. Whether you're a Mario master or playing one of his adventures for the first time, you'll actively jump from planet to planet with the motion-sensing and pointing capabilities of the controller. Mario's newest move - the spin move - is performed by giving the Wii Remote a quick shake. It's the most versatile move in the game and can aide Mario in his many discoveries. Additionally, the Wii Remote's pointer is used to collect Star Bits, which can be thrown at enemies to stun them.

Mario Revolutionises gaming again.,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) (Video Game)
Super Mario Galaxy was one of the most eagerly awaited games for Mario fans and Wii owners alike. It was set to be the next leap in platforming games, much like Super Mario 64 was in 1996. To achieve this, the team at Nintendo worked space and gravity into the equation whilst keeping the core Mario gameplay we all know and love. So just how good did this game turn out?
The answer is quite simple. Super Mario Galaxy is arguably the best platforming games released in recent years and quite possibly one of the best, if not the best, games ever released. This may sound slightly exaggerated but trust me, it's not. The gameplay is flawless, the graphics are polished, the soundtrack is phenomenal and the presentation is sublime. What more could you ask of a game. Gameplay Like most Mario games, Super Mario Galaxy provides an excellent experience for the gamer. The controls are tight and have very few flaws. If there is one problem with the controls it would be when Mario is swimming. During this period sometimes it can be quite frustrating when it doesn't do exactly what you would have wanted. The camera very occasionally (and I mean very occasionally) leaves you a bit stuck when you cant quite see what comes next. For those of you worrying don't, as it's 10 times better than the camera in Super Mario Sunshine. It is automatic and does a very good job of keeping you right next to the action. The new special power-ups such as Bee Mario and Ghost Mario all control well and add some variation to the game. Graphics Super Mario Galaxy features the most gorgeous and polished graphics we have yet to see on the Nintendo Wii. The slowdown is minimal and it runs at a very constant 60fps. The animations are gorgeous and all the characters are flourished with detail and personality. Presentation You've got the basic Mario storyline of Princess Peach gets kidnapped and you have to rescue her. If you are buying Super Mario Galaxy for its story then think again because it is hardly the most original story. This time there is a slight twist and you get the option to hear a `side story' which tells the story of Princess Rosalina and how she ended up where she was. There is WiiConcect24 support where you can send shots of your high score tables for your friends to view. Overall presentation is fantastic. Sound The music which Koji Kondo and his team have conjured up for this game is incredible. The orchestrated music contrasting with the classic Mario themes works a treat. The minimal voice work which is in the game is also good and Mario is well voiced by Charles Martinet. This is definitely a massive plus for the game. Overall Super Mario Galaxy is clearly one of the best games ever made. Nothing else could really be done to make this game any better and to call it anything but perfect, would be a lie.

What a brilliant game!,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) (Video Game)
It arrived today, on release, around four o'clock... and it's now nine, and I still can't stop playing it!
The music... is so awesome... going to some areas and hearing classic Mario tunes really brings a smile as you instantly remember it! When you fly through the Galaxy ... the only word that can be used is... Wow! Its a really really beautiful game, It's so relaxing, and some of the levels are fiendishly clever, with tricks everywhere. The Graphics... are AMAZING! They really must have been working on this game's looks because it looks like a 360 title! This raises the bar for future Wii games... and (hopefully) stops lazy developers taking Playstation 2 ports to the Wii. This is the game of the year IMO. Mario is back on form. Well done Nintendo, you deserve a pat on the back... *pat pat* It's a Me! Mario!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) (Video Game)
Super Mario Galaxy feels like the game that we have been waiting for since the consoles release. Mildly amusing mini-games and gimmicks with the remote are all we've had so far - or poor games ported to the platform. So far I've played the virtual console more than I have actual Wii games.
Until Mario Galaxy that is. This is an extremely imaginative and hugely addictive action/puzzle game with all of the Mario charm. The only annoying thing I found was the unskippable (as far as I can tell) cut-scenes. You can speed up dialogue by holding A but you have to watch the movies still. I highly recommend this to any Wii owner, so long as you dont mind the Mario-ness.
