Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Advantages: Beautiful boxart holding a beautiful game
Disadvantages: Not really hum along to sounds

...title of the year - Super Mario Galaxy. Not only is the internet been buzzing since the games release of how it is the best game on the Nintendo Wii console right now, but there is also a lot of discussion on whether or not this is the single best game ever (a title that would usually fall to the hands of Zelda: Ocarina of Time). Gameranking's, a website that collects reviews from all over the world and then accumulates them is worth a look as well, ...
...think it's time. Super Mario Galaxy has been a long time in the works, apparently, ever since the world was wow'ed by Mario going into 3D in the Nintendo 64 classic 'Mario 64'. Ever since that game was made people have been buzzing about a possible sequel known on the internet for a long time as 'Mario 128'. When the Gamecube, Nintendo's previous console, was first being publicised there was a video that showed many mini-Mario's wondering around ... Read review

Advantages: Full of fun, especially for children
Disadvantages: Missing some traditional Mario cast-members

...no place for Science in Super Mario Galaxy! Only for delicious Star Bits and care-free flying through space. The Gameplay In "Galaxy", you control Mario as he makes his rounds around a plethora of galaxies, righting wrongs, saving penguins and collecting Power Stars. Having more Power Stars means he can be sent to galaxies further away from the Observatory, where he can save other cute animals, get more Power Stars and so on and so forth ...
...the default state when playing Super Mario Galaxy. And that's the key really to making a great game. You can "finish" Super Mario Galaxy, get to an ending, as soon as you collect 60 stars. But "Galaxy" is not really about going to the Center of the Universe, getting through another superb "fortress galaxy" and kicking Bowser's tail, or rescuing the Princess As Soon As Possible. It's about visiting all these strange and wonderful galaxies, experimenting ... Read review

Advantages: Stunning, Controls prefectly, Great fun
Disadvantages: Camera can be awkward at times, Slightly repetitive bosses

...matters! Thankfully, Super Mario Galaxy is everything you could possibly want from a platforming game. The game controls superbly well, the camera is perfect, and it's a joy to play. Whenever you unlock a new galaxy, you'll want to go there, not just because you want to complete the game, but because you want to see what the developers have in store for you next. The level design is quite simply out of this world (pun intended), each galaxy is different ...
...negatives I could find with Super Mario Galaxy were the (very rarely) awkward camera, and that some of the bosses were a little repetitive, but please don't let these little niggles put you off. Super Mario Galaxy is, to put it simply, sublime, an experience every gamer should have, not just the Wii owners. From the moment you first load up the game, to collecting the very last star, you'll be playing with a smile on your face and a warmth in your ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful worlds, cute graphics, just plain fun!
Disadvantages: Running upside down is quite annoying

...but for the first time, Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii takes him to - you guessed it - space! The game and the plot is the same as pretty much every single Mario game in existance - with Mario being invited to the palace, just in time to witness Princess Peach being kidnapped by Bowser. Only this time of course he's gone a little bit further, taking her to a far away planet! Mario soon meets up with what is called a Luma, a cute little star-like ...
...as you play the game! The Luma's are led by the beautiful Rosalina, who lives with them in the comet observatory. He soon learns that Bowser has stolen some of the stars used to power the observatory, and so he must make his way around the galaxy collecting the stars as he goes, which he can then use to power up the comet observatory in order to reach new worlds. Sounds complicated? Well don't worry. It's Mario! Does the story really matter that ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics are the best iv seen on the Wii , fun to play
Disadvantages: Isnt the hardest game in the world

...the side scrollers such as Super Mario Bros. So after alot of thinking about it i decided to buy it i got it at my local Game store for £29.99 which isnt too bad as most chops such as argos charge £34.99. I wasnt expecting it to be awsome or something that id like since it looked smiliar to Mario64. And how wrong was i!!! The first thing that blew me away where the graphics(ok there not PS3 or 360 graphics but still they're awsome) it was the first ...
...me away and it shows what the Wii can realy do. Everything in the game looks amazing such as the water , with advanced shader effects and particle effects looks every realistic not to mention the other stuff. The game lets you create upto 8 save files(so basicly 8 people can play the game with their own saves) The story is the same as and as it is with everyother Mario game Peach gets Kidnapped by Browser and Mario has to rescue her(nothing new ...
