Customer Reviews

Definitely the MOST infuriating game of MY life!!!
At first (on the easy levels) I thought Mario Galaxy was really fun. Then I got got onto the hard levels and the fact I kept dying changed my mind. I kept on getting stuck and killed by mushrooms. I would not recommend buying it if you get distressed or infuriated easily. You can buy it if you want though.
Hope this helped!

Super Mario Galaxy for Wii
This is a truly incredible game and I would reccomend it for any age because it is absolutley amazing. The graphics are crystal clear and a brilliant suprise for the Wii as of some games havnt had the best og graphics. But the graphics on Super Mario Galaxy are absolutley 5 star. The game is worth the oney it is now at because I got this game at christmas and I'm still not bored of it. 5 out of 5 for me!

One of the all-time greats.
After Super Mario Sunshine it seemed like Nintendo couldn't ever possibly top the awesome achievement that was Super Mario 64. They had tried to incorporate the infamous FLUDD jetpack and...well, it didn't work as well as had been hoped. And then there was THAT camera. Clearly Nintendo, on the latest evidence, gave the drawing board a good dusting off and decided to start from scratch.

And the end result is simply one of the most incredible experiences any gamer will ever have. It leaves you wondering just how Nintendo are capable of making such things possible. Whether it's the lollipop visuals, which are stunning and run at a constant 60fps. Or the mindbending level design. The trademark controls, tight, responsive and effortless. And finally, the greatest soundtrack to a videogame ever composed. Metal Gear Solid has always had a great main theme, and Killer7 was an outthere assault on your eardrums which somehow worked wonderfully. However, in terms of creating something which sums up Mario, exploration, outer space, speed, fun, humour, excitement, curiosity and anything else which you'd associate with this continually exemplary series: Koji Kondo has done it. From the gigantic orchestral themes or the modern remixes of Mario themes past, it is quite simply perfect. I like to think of it as the Star Wars of videogame soundtracks. Iconic in other words.

The camera is perhaps the only aspect of the game which you could criticise, as on the rare occaision (and I mean RARE) it can sometimes give you an awkward angle through which to view the world you're in. However, it will either self-right itself or you fix it yourself on the D-Pad.

The whole package is class and when you consider how relatively few copies have been sold worldwide (Nintendo have shifted about 2.5m - 3m copies which considering its AAA status...) you can't help wondering about the future of this much adored character. If you haven't played this game and you own a Wii, what on earth are you doing?! I'd even go as far to say that it is simply worth buying a Wii just to play this one game. It really is that good.

Bring on Super Mario Galaxy 2, I say!
