A Surefire Classic

Customer Rating:
I've played both Mario Galaxy games from beginning to end. But you won't hear me argue that one is superior to another. There are just as many good reasons to own this one, even though it's an earlier installment as there are reasons to own Mario 64. Amazing games like this will always have something to offer. So try not to be one of those who think because you've played the 2nd that the 1st is worth missing. It's every bit as good as its newer counterpart. So go ahead and buy it. Because, as most of you know, there's no such thing as too much Mario platforming!

A Home Run

This and Galaxy 2 are fantastic. In fact they are so good, pretty much every other wii game I've tried bores me to tears. I haven't gamed in 10+ years, but my wife bought a wii for the wii fit dealio, so I decided to pick up some games for myself.

With Galaxy, you have an epic adventure that can be played by a wide variety of people. Defeating Bowser and 'finishin' the game isn't overly hard, and most people will be able to do that. However, there is still a whack load of game play ahead if you want to completely finish the game. And some of the levels are quite challenging. Luigi's purple coins and the purple coin dreadnaught/battlerock challenges come to mind.

I also found the story to be quite good, for a video game that is. The set up and characters that populated the homebase were really cool.

So, if you've been away from gaming for a while and are considering taking it up again, start here.

Best 3d Mario since the N64

Let me start out by saying that I was really addicted to this game. I would find myself staying up late hours into the night trying to get one more galaxy complete. I haven't been addicted to a game that much since Fallout 3, but after the first fifteen hours I began to play the game less and less until I barely played it at all. Maybe it was the fact that the levels started to look alike or maybe my PS3 won my favor for a while, I'm not really sure. I did end up beating the game though and overall I am very impressed with Mario Galaxy.

I was worried about the nun-chuck controls and only having one joystick, but Mario handled beautifully most of the time. There were times while running upside down that the control would reverse or just not work in the manner that I would have guessed. Nothing that ruined the game, but there were times in moments of intensity that it would have been nice to have another joystick. The challenge throughout the game is pretty even with some bumps here and there with boss battles.

The graphics look great for a Mario title and really bring out all that the Wii can do in this department. The cut scenes are rendered well and really look great. Some actual voices would have been nice instead of text boxes, but that was a style choice by the deveopers.

The game's length is about fifteen hours in length in order to beat the story. There are about fifteen hours left after that for those that want to get all the stars. I don't know what the reward is, but it does add some game time none the less. As I said above the game really hooked me, but then I sort of lost interest near the end. I don't blame the game that much as the levels and suit upgrades that you can pick up are interesting enough to keep your attention. Overall this game was much better than Mario Sunshine and just a little bit below Mario 64. I think Mario 64 had a little more variety. Mario Galaxy should be sampled by anyone that owns a Wii or is at any degree a Mario fan. This game is worth the forty bucks.

Wow!!!

The entire family will spend the evening playing this game. We don't play often as we try to keep video games as an every now and then activity. But it is great to have games that the family can work on together.
