Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii Reviews

It's been a long time coming but Nintendo finally released another fully 3D Super Mario right here on their insanely popular Wii console. Now you would think Nintendo could never screw up the Mario franchise but a lot fans were kind of disappointed with the 2002 release Super Mario Sunshine for the GameCube. If there was ever going to be a new game in the series it would have to be something special really special. So here is the highly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy and it comes complete with a cool new sphere gimmick and some fancy Wii-mote support of course. Is this next great Mario game...

I will caveat my review by saying that I haven't played a traditional (Mario saves the Princess) Mario game since Super Nintendo Mario....

Ever since we unwrapped this game at Christmas, it is now clearly our favorite game on the Wii.  Let me preface this review by saying that this game was reviewed and played by my 8 year old son, 6 year old daughter, and myself.

The first thing we immediately noticed was how well the game teaches you how to move and play the game.  Each level builds upon the last and by the time you get 10 power stars you feel confident and fully immersed in the game. 

Second, the two player mode is really ingenious and really encourages teamwork.  My 6 year old daughter played alongside her brother and it's...

     Super Mario Galaxy is another classic Mario game that will give you hours of entertainment and it is something that the whole family can watch and play.  It has the traditional Mario story line where he is on a mission to save the princess and the whole galaxy.  But the views on this Mario game are quite different than any other I have experienced. 

     Sometimes the camera angles are not the best.  The first time I played this game I had to turn it off for awhile because I got a little dizzy trying to figure out where Mario was going on the screen.  It is definately something...

So the first truly new Mario since Super Mario 64 and it doesn't fail to impress. The visuals are absolutely stunning, and the game play is virtually flawless. The wii remote controls work very well and don't feel like there just added in to make it look motion sensitive. The main story, about Mario defeating bowser can be beat in about 15 playing hours. For those that want a true challenge, there are 120 "stars" around the many galaxies to collect, and that will take you quite a while. The thing that is the best about this game is that novice  and young players can enjoy it as the difficulty...

This game has received a lot of hype, and it's mostly deserved.  The mechanics feel great, the Wii-mote sections of the game flow naturally and don't feel forced, and the level variety is incredible.

 There are a good twenty hours of gameplay for those who get all the stars, and around thirty to forty for completists.  While the moves and gameplay bring Mario 64 to mind, the level structure is much more linear, so the overall feeling is a mashup of SMB3 and Mario 64, which is not a bad thing at all.

 The only weaknesses are the small size of the hub world, and the overall low level of difficulty. ...

Super Mario Galaxy for Wii is adorable! The graphics are great, the colors are bright and crisp, you just want to play it constantly. You are trying to save Princess Peach and flying through galaxies trying to find her. You have to have the nun-chuck add on thingy that comes with your Wii that plugs into the bottom of your controller and you play with them both which can get a little tricky. I push a lot of the wrong buttons due to this but still have a lot of fun playing this game. Another person can pick up another controller and help you in the games. They cannot run around and be another person...

Super Mario Galaxy is easily the best game to come out on the Wii to date. The level are varied and never get old. I loved going after all the stars. Some of the levels are quite easy,but as you move up the get progressively harder. To where to get all 120 stars you really have to have mastered alot of the skills you learn over the levels.

Some people have said this game is to easy. I found it easy if you want to just get the first 60 some stars and beat the game,but if you want to master it, it really takes to challangeing a person.

This is a great game to play for the whole family. Kids will love...

When I first saw this game on commercials, it looked really strange. It didn't look anything like the Mario I remember and I hadn't played Super Mario Sunshine yet so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did play Super Mario 64 and had a good time with that and this game definitely builds upon that model very well.

From the very first level, you could tell this game was going to be a blast. The game is standard affair for a Mario game: Bowser captures Princess Peach, Mario saves Princess Peach. Your mission is to collect enough stars to reach Bowser. Of the 120 possible stars to collect, you need just...
