This game is the ultimate Mario experience because it balances its key elements superbly. The mix of game play styles, the challenging yet intricate controls, the constantly shifting objectives all make this game a true pleasure to play through. No longer are re-visiting areas and re-treading paths with only a marginally different star location. ‘Galaxy has you visiting mini-world, figuring out how to get off them in any number of ingenious ways, all while executing the most smooth move system I've ever encountered. The camera, now an auto-shifting masterpiece, helps you navigate the true third-dimension like never before.

Galaxy improves on it's predecessors in every single way. I cannot think of one area where this game failed in that regard. The graphics, the presentation, the sound, the controls, the last-ability, the vision, the heart, the passion, the direction are all superior to that other Mario title. And, they are all superior to any other game in this (increasingly mutating) genre. The other Mario game, the one that is on everybody's 5-star list, has now been dethroned, and this time they didn't need to add a dimension, just explore it to the fullest.

This game is nothing short of fantastic.

It doesn't matter if your familiar with the Wii or just starting out.

It initially starts off relatively easy, but as you master the controls the difficulty increases also.
Story line is pretty basic, as expected in a Mario game nothing fancy and no real surprises.

The gameplay is brilliant!!
The use of puzzles, physics and some of the most well designed levels I've ever encountered in any game on any platform make this game extremely addictive!

Completion of the basic storyline in the game wont take too long,
but actually completing this game 100% will be a challenge!!
Don't want to spoil the surprises.

This game is both entertaining and challenging.
Hours and Hours of fun and recommended for all ages.

If you though Super Mario 64 was good wait till you try this, it akes everything good about that game and goes where you never thought it would!!

5/5

A few years on, this is still easily one of the Wii's finest games. A visually stunning successor to Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64, it comes packed with some impressive gravity-based planetary level designs. The game as a whole is quite varied and, at times, very challenging. Fantastic score and an unexpectedly touching (albeit fairly simple) story, too.

Love Mario? Love platformers? No...love games?! If you're considering purchasing this product, you undoubtedly should. Super Mario Galaxy is a title of utter perfection, from its amazing graphics, phenomenal gameplay, trippy physics and total polish. Princess Peach has been captured along with her entire castle by Bowser, and Mario must venture into space to retrieve her. The main gameplay device in this game is GRAVITY. You use gravity on planets complete puzzles and defeat bosses, it's masterful. I highly recommend this game.

Its a me. Its a Mario. If you have the WII and like the Mario then you must get this game. The Mario in space angle really brings new life to the series that sunshine did not deliver. It provides hours of fun.

A game which is good for those who have not used the wii to a great deal. The use of the nun chuck and the wii remote are well integrated into the game, but can at time be annoying. One aspect which I didn’t enjoy was the story line, I consistently found myself thinking “just let me play the game.” And the retrieval of stars wasn’t much of a motivator.
