Super Mario Galaxy has finally hit, and it delivered every aspect in what a plat former should bring. This game takes a huge step forward on the genre, just like what Mario 64 did, and this is the true successor of Mario 64. The game opens up with Mario getting an invitation from peach, leading to that comes bowser, who kidnaps the princess (again) starting off Mario's new adventure. Gravity plays a big role in this game, making for some cool gameplay mechanics.
The presentation is beautiful, with over 50 galaxies to venture, and each with there own unique look that really distances them from each other. The lighting is top notch, and you've never seen Mario look this damn good before in your whole life. Yea, this is the best looking Wii game, and it proves to us that Nintendo's little machine has some power after all. The pretty looking graphics is also backed up with an amazing orchestrated score, setting up the mood of the game, and bringing a smile to our faces. The music has a few throwbacks from Super Mario Bros. 3, that old Mario fans will appreciate and love, with an addition of new ones that sound surprisingly epic for a Mario game. The game is played with the the nunchuck and wii-mote, you jump with A, and shoot star bits with B. Star Bits are used to shoot at your enemies, and to feed hungry Luma's, once you feed the hungry Luma enough star bits, he'll transform into a galaxy, which now is accessible to go. Shake the Wii-mote to spin attack. and jump, while in mid-air press Z to do the famous Butt-stomp(ground pound). The game plays so nicely, and even more thanks to its genius level design; the way there implemented into the game is simply astonishing, also executing it with Mario, with his precise controls is one unforgettable experience in gaming.
Super Mario Galaxy is simply magic, that will reach out and touch your heart. You wont want to stop playing till you achieve all 120 stars , and the more stars you get the more challenge you get out of it. This game is hard to stop playing, and if you do, you just cant stop thinking about. This game certainly has the " feel good " feel when you play, leaving you close to tears, to how good the game is. All the recognition I'm giving this game may sound that its perfect, but let me say that this game is not perfect, there's a few camera issues, even though its good most of the time, there might be times that it can be bothersome. If I don't give this game a 10 out of 10, then I don't know what deserves a 10, like I said, this game is not perfect, but this game is too freaking close to perfection, giving this game a 10 is the right thing to do, and well deserved for Super Mario Galaxy.
