Santa brought this gift for my 5 year old son and we can't get enough!!! I was really scepticle cause I really do not care for Paper Mario. However when my son started screaming "Mom you have to kill this guy for me!", I couldn't resist! So I ask "What do I do"..........now I'm totally addicted and so is my husband. The graphics are cool, Mario is super awesome and the bad guys are really "out of this world"! who would of thought something I played 25 years ago would have evolved and I would be sharing the experience with my son!!!

like mario 64 for the first time

this game is defiantly the spiritual sequel to mario 64. it has the same great controls plus some new added features that don't over do the wiimotes capabilities like most games do. fairly easy for the most part but some of the later stars, that you don't need to do to beat the game, are very hard. if you have a wii this is a no brainer pick up for a game.

Best Wii Game Yet

So far we have seen many good games for the Wii, most of them with tons of mini games and a gameplay that can be enjoyable for the hole family.
With Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo put the most famous plumber on the stage again, this time this "stage" is on space. The true sequel to Super Mario 64 has arrived to the Wii, with a twist on the way you have played any mario game. There still is the mission for collecting stars but now you are in space and there is no limit regarding level design.
Great graphics, great gameplay and tons of fun are delivered in this game. if you have a Wii you MUST buy this game and if you don't just buy one to play this amazing game. If you are a hardcore gamer or you just like to play some games for fun this game haves it all.
Something that put this game far from the rest is the excellent orchestrated music that it has, with every single song recorded by an orchestra you will be very happy with the graphics, gameplay and the music, what else can you ask.
In tree words "Wii Best Game", you must have it.

Awesome, it's really fun.

My boys love this game, age 20 and 18. They say that it's truly awesome. They have been playing it non-stop since they received it for Christmas.

Kids love it and so do I

Game is fun to play alone or with second fiddle. Graphics are good, and degree of difficulty is just right. Well designed to take advantage of Wii features. Good family fun

#1 reason to own a Wii

This is the prettiest game on the Wii and the most fun. The first half of the game is just a warm up... It's after you collect the first 60 stars that the game really begins. If you have a Wii there's no excuse not to own Super Mario Galaxy!

WOW!!!

This game is awesome! It appeals to almost all age-groups, the graphics are amazing, the sound it up to par with the other mario games (i.e. just about perfect), and the boss fights and challenges are almost endless. I'll repeat myself: This game is awesome!!!

Great Game!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the first game that I bought for the Wii. After reading the rview and everything this seemed to be the top game. I wasnt disappointed either. It has some great graphics and is a great addition to the mario game family. It takes alittle bit to figure out the controls but after that it is game on. Mario sets out to find Princess Peach who is taken to another galaxy by Bowser. Mario can fly, skates, jump, throw fire, throw ice. Mario in a 3-d world is cool after playing him in all of the old 2-D worlds. This is classic mario just stepped up a notch and it doesnt disappoint.

Mario at his finest

Galaxy's use of the Wii Remote is flawless as it doesn't make the mistake of throwing motion control in your face. The game simply wouldn't be as fun without it. Things like firing a cannon is a lot more intuitive using the Wii Remote, but the most obvious utilisation of the controller is the cursor, which you can dart around the screen at all times to collect Starbits (used to unlock several 'mini-game' galaxies) and them fire them back at the screen using the B trigger.

The main means of interaction in Galaxy is through shaking the Remote, which executes Mario's new spin attack. Punch and kick moves have been axed for this new means of interaction, which makes sense, as it's incorporated in the gameplay for tasks like activating cannon-like launch stars and swinging up vines. Thankfully it's not just another example of dodgy Wii 'waggle'.

Grapple stars are perhaps the most brilliant example of Galaxy's Wii Remote use. Using the remote cursor you simply aim and press A to home Mario in on the stars, allowing you to 'grab' and hop between lines of them like grapple points, all the while dodging space mines and projectiles. It's incredibly satisfying and is the set-up for some fantastic racing sequences later on.

Galaxy also plays around with gravity and physics like no Mario game before it. You'll flip gravity to navigate giant block mazes, use a planet's gravity to propel yourself to a new platform and shoot into the stars. It's not as revolutionary as Mario 64, but it certainly re-defines what we expect from a 3D platformer.

The concept of running around giant spheres can be daunting at first; if there's no pulsating black hole underneath your planet, falling off the edge just doesn't come into the equation. Without the pulling power of the black holes, no matter where you run or jump gravity will twist and pull you towards the planet, allowing you to run all the way around it and even jump to other planets by hopping into their gravitational pull. It's awesome.

If you're on a flat, orbiting platform you can run right underneath it, which opens up all kinds of gameplay that would be impossible under Mario 64's laws of gravity - and allows the scale of Mario's playgrounds to grow to genuinely draw-dropping proportions.

Shooting off into the stratosphere in one of Galaxy's many willy-waving cinematic moments, there were actual gasps at the beauty and scale of the starry world around us. The void-ish nature of Galaxy's world means Nintendo has been able to spend polygons liberally on the environment and it's easily the most draw-dropping game on Wii. And yes, we do mean draw-dropping.

Just like Mario 64 the game takes place in a hub world, this time around a starship headed up by space-age princess Rosalina and her race of Lumas (they're the little star blokes). Predictably, the Lumas need you to get collect stars to get their ship up and running again so you can chase down the star-bound Bowser. There are 120 to collect - many hidden - and it'll take you about as long as '64 to collect them all (and that's a good few hours).

After the disappointingly similar environments of Sunshine there's thankfully a much larger variety of worlds this time around too. Amazingly, despite the fact there are now only three "story" stars to collect per world, Galaxy's playgrounds aren't all pint-sized either (although there are one-off "platforming" worlds - which are rock hard and bloody brilliant).

I was delighted to find that the majority are as big - if not larger - than the locales of Mario 64, and unlike Sunshine many will make you smile like the time you first dived into the pirate cove in Mario 64.

It's a consistently surprising experience and I wouldn't dare spoil it for you, but Galaxy will take you places that will remind you why you play videogames

Great Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy seems like an endless game. It takes forever to die, which gives you more play time! It gives you 'the time of your life'.
