    THE BAD:

  • Storyline
  • Underwater levels

    SUMMARY:
    I have to start off by saying this game is amazing. It's one of the best games for the Wii, along with Twilight Princess and some others. In Super Mario Galaxy you are in space. You start off in the Comet Observatory and you play from there. You get power stars and by getting them you open up new levels. The game starts off by Mario going to the Star Festival, and then Bowser comes and kidnaps peach. From there you are taken to a planet where there are bunnies that you have to catch, and once you catch them they send you to another planet. You go through the first level, and then get your first Grand Star. A Grand Star is a big star that you get when you beat a Bowser level. Anyways, once you get the first Grand Star, you...

    SUMMARY:
    Super Mario Galaxy is an extremely fun game where you play as mario and go into galaxies to battle against enemies, and the difficult courses that await you. You can do many thing with Mario Galaxy such as fight enemies & bosses, venture through the galaxies, and change form. As you progress through the game you'll unveil Rosalina's past in a story as well as a young luma she ventures with. I think this is one of the best games I've played in a long time!

    SUMMARY:
    Super mario galaxy is overall a good game however there are a few aspects in it that could be better

    Graphics
    The graphics in this game are simply incredible. The effects of the water, the fur on some creatures and even the light shining off various surfaces such as honey, slime and even the power/grand stars themselves make this game really realistic. Mario himself has...

    THE GOOD:
    Luigi is an unlockable characters.

    The is one of the best graphical looking Wii games, despite it's "cartoonish" look.

    The galaxy concept in general

    You don't get stuck in certain spots as easily than the other 3D Mario games.

    The Bowser fights are enjoyable

    This game can still be fun to play even after you beaten it.

    THE BAD:
    No Yoshi

    Bowser is a little too easy this time.

    SUMMARY:
    Okay, I've always preferred Mario's 2D games over his 3D ones, but that's changed with this game. Now, I believe this game is about as good as his 2D games. I was never a big fan of Super Mario 64 nor Super Mario Sunshine, but I'm a fan of this game. Not to mention, the concept of this game is just plain cool! It's in space and you travel to different planets and galaxies. The basic story is that Bowser took Peach with him for some big plan that he had. They go into space and Mario follows...

    THE GOOD:
    • Great platforming
    • Gravity effects give game fresh feel
    • Beautiful level design

    THE BAD:

    • Co-Op is less than stellar

    SUMMARY:
    I honestly had a few doubts when I thought about Mario in outer space. Sure, the whole idea had the potential to be outstanding, but you never know if they are going to be able to pull it off. But, once I got my hands on the game all doubts flew out the window, and I was instantly immersed in what is easily the best game on the Wii to date.

    The Story:

    It is a peaceful day in Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario is invited by Peach to come to the castle and visit. Mario rushes off to see her, but Bowser swoops in and grabs Peach, leaving the place in shambles. Mario then finds himself on a strange island with a woman named...

    THE GOOD:
    I have to say: they did an outstanding job in resurrecting Mario's general moves from Super Mario 64 (DS). This made the game familiar to Mario veterans, like myself, to play this game. I also like the graphics on this game. They are outstanding. They easily triumph over any Mario game before it. The best part is they truly bring the natural elegance of the cosmos to life in this game. One thing is: they really do a good job with the lighting. When Mario collects a Power Star, he floats, with it circling him, shining around him, and you get a great view of the stars and skies in the background.

    In this game, you get three segments of health and it pretty much stays that way. I know what you must be thinking, THAT'S GOOD? Here is fact for you. It is really easy to attain extra lives in this game. You can also pick up a red mushroom which sets your health to a total of six segments for the rest of the level or until your health drops to...

    THE GOOD:
    If you are a fan of Super Mario 64, chances are you will love this game. It is the true sequel, only with more powerups, better graphics and music, and innovative gameplay. It is easy for beginners, and the story can be completed fairly easily, but it can be tough to collect all of the 121 stars. Many of the levels are straightforward, so you don't need to spend much time searching for the next path.

    Story
    Mario is invited to the Star Festival at Peach's Castle. Everything is going fine until Bowser storms the festival on his armada of flying battleships. Once again, the oh so helpless Princess Peach is kidnapped. Mario is blasted out into space by a Magikoopa commonly known as Kamek and wakes up on a small planet with star creatures called Lumas. They show Mario to Princess Rosalina, who is in control of a starship where the Lumas live. She says she was attacked and had all of her power stars stolen, which powered the...

    here do I begin? I'll start with the fact that this is undoubtedly the greatest Mario title since the legendary Super Mario Bros. 3. Forget all the other games; forget the fact that this series has gone to some serious low-points since 1990. Super Mario Galaxy is the homecoming, a return to form for the portly plumber. I'm so glad that Nintendo has nailed it.

    But what makes Galaxy so great? Is it the innovative physics? The Wii Controls? The Graphics? All of these aspects are certainly assets, but the fact that clearly remains in my mind while I play it is clear: this is Mario in 3-D. There's no compromises, no changes. The essence that make those 2-D titles so memorable has finally made it's way into a 3-D title.

    But, wasn't Super Mario 64 the game that translated the series into 3-D? Well, for those who look on the surface, that's perfectly true. But for some Mario nuts (like me), Mario 64 just didn't provide the brilliant experience that I got from Mario 3...
