 Another rehash from the 90s April 15, 2008

Mario, Nintendo's iconic character and - for some arcane reason - the most popular platformer out there.
Seriously, how many rehashes of these games with this weak and silly character are they going to make? This is not innovative...
I'm sure this game (like any game with the name Mario) appeals to the Nintendo junkies out there, but people with a brain and some objectivity will gain nothing from playing this game.
Since entering the 3D era, we have seen 3 Mario games, but they are in actuality only one game published 3 times. But I guess this is what Nintendophiles want.
Hah, they tried a small change with the locales and characters in Mario Sunshine, but Nintendo players don't want anything new. They went in a frenzy. And behold, we are back in Mushroom Kingdom.
This game supposedly takes place in a giant spaceship where there are portals to different galaxies, but they all just lead into Mushroom Kingdom. The only difference in these worlds is a varying gravity. Like Mario Sunshine with its silly waterpump, Mario Galaxy revolves around this one feature. The rest is direct copy from Mario 64. Not very innovative.
One good point about this game is that at least they bothered to upgrade it to Wii graphical level. The game is pretty. But Nintendo wasn't supposed to be about graphics.
The Wii controls fit in pretty well, and the auto camera works fine most of the time.
CLOSING COMMENTS:
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the worst platformers I have ever played.
I suggest trying Spyro the Dragon for PS1 instead.
 ALL HYPE AND NO SUBSTANCE? April 10, 2008
2 out of 13 found this review helpful
I really can't believe the hype surrounding this game. I purchased it 2 weeks ago and can honestly say that it is mediocre at best. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I read all the reviews on this site and thought that so many people could not be wrong! The gameplay is ok, the graphics are not 'next gen' and the actual game itself I found boring. I would rent this game first before purchasing it to avoid dissappointment. I'm sorry because I know this review will put a lot of people's nose out of joint but don't just believe the hype.

Admittedly the title for my review has been done thousands of times but it's the onlytitle suitable for such a great game. This game is fun, and challenging to a degree. The star's are harder to get than Mario 64 DS for example, meaning that the playability is greater. The game is incredibly enjoyable, and the minigames will have you trying to beat your score time and time again. This game is a highly recomended buy.
How annoyingly brilliant is this game? March 29, 2008

I've only just realised that there are way more reviews of video games than there are of books and CD's. There must be the subject of a sociological treatise there somewhere. So for what it's worth, this game is annoyingly addictive. You know, you get just so far, get beat, try again, get beat, try again, get a bit further, get beat, try again...and before you know it two hours have passed and your right arm aches horribly (and I'm NOT reading FHM either!)
The graphics are great, the controls superb, the puzzles deceptively easy, then mind numbingly difficult in turn. This game is great! My only complaint would be the common one of 3d games where the camera angle/poor perspective sometimes makes controlling the little fellow difficult (and damn near impossible when he is "Spring Mario")
Best game on the wii by far. (until Mario Kart)
Brilliant! March 16, 2008
