Review Summary

In Super Mario Galaxy, the hero Mario’s mission is to rescue Princess Peach from weird creatures. The story takes you on an exploration race of planets across the galaxy. You, as Mario will have to run, skip and fight enemies and defy gravity in your aim to succeed in your mission. Super Mario Galaxy makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, thus players to succeed must be adept at pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer. The more agile you are with the controls, the better you’ll be able to succeed. Super Mario Galaxy takes advantage of all the unique aspects of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, coming out with new moves as players shake the controllers. The aim of this game depends on Shaking, Tilting and Pointing, and this what makes Super Mario Galaxy attractive to gamers. Reviewers find that most gamers like the 3-D platforming genre with Super Mario Galaxy and this by far is the most attractive feature of the game. Players can perform mind-bending, low-gravity jumps across wild alien terrain as they experience platforming. Super Mario Galaxy is sure to please old and young alike.

    Traditionally, however, Mario games have a bit of a weakness in the form of water, and Galaxy is no exception. My only complaint with the water levels is the camera while swimming, in short, is awful, especially when turning around. However, if you're not trying to do a sharp turn on the spot then the water levels aren't too bad; it just so happens there are a few times when you will find yourself trying to swim one way and end up swimming the other.

  2. Review: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

    Gravity plays an important role in Galaxy, which is bound to confuse plenty of players at first. When Mario runs to the edge of one of the little planetoids, he’ll simply continue running around to the other side, unless there’s an actual drop he can fall into, and get himself sucked into a black hole. He can also leap from one planet to another, so long as they’re relatively close together and he can reach its gravitational pull. Read more

    Just to repeat that, Super Mario Galaxy really is perfect - and I rarely say that when reviewing any game. But this isn't a game; it's a system seller, which is rich when nobody can get hold of a Wii for love nor money right now in the run up to Christmas. If you're one of the fortunate ones to have a Wii however then you've got to buy this game, or you might as well give it away to somebody who wants to actually play this game, because if you don't, I'm convinced tha...

    After the failings of Sunshine to become the true successor to 64's crown Super Mario Galaxy surely take the mantles from the N64's most successul game. Galaxy combines many elements available using the Wii's setup. This includes pointing, shaking, turning etc. all done with excellent results. The missions in the game are enjoyable and the level designs are fantastic for the Wii. They may be judged a little easy and the game can be completed when you have reached 60 o... Read more

    Found this game very boring. Flying through a galaxy is all very nice but once the novelty runs off - you're left with a game that doesn't have an much to it. Could only play this game for no more than 20 minutes at a time as I found it very repetitive and annoying. Its not a bad game its just no where near as great as Mario 64 or even Super Mario World on the SNES. The reason for it is the lack of secret rooms, secret levels and general level of excitement that was p... Read more
