Brief synopsis of Super Mario Galaxy

When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy.

The ultimate Nintendo hero is taking the ultimate step... out into space. Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy. Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy. Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer.

Rated - 1 starsSuper Mario Galaxy

A customer from Reading, England , 08/01/2008

the reviews are very good for this game however the actual game its self does not have an actual story line. this therefor creates a poor game. another problem with this game is you get clips after every stage. this does get rather anoying.

all in all it is really a bad game and i would not recomend it to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A customer from Birmingham , 06/12/2007

This is such an addictive game, all the stages are different from each other and its so fun discovering new galaxies and the're not really hard to do. So this means that the whole family can play, my 7 year old nephew absolutley loves it (such a shame its not two players, me and him have a fight all the time over the wii remote)

Rated - 5 starsAmazing!

PhilWay from Hadleigh , 04/01/2008

What can I say! After being disappointed with the tedious and overlong narrative in Paper Mario, this is a true return to form for our favourite plumber!

The control are just so natural after 1/2 hr playing and the gravity engine is just a joy to behold. The graphics are clean and superb and even the soundtrack isn't to annoying for a Mario game!

This just shows what can be achieved with some clever, well thought out programming. You don't need a supercomputer to make fun games, just a little attention to detail. Well done Nintendo!

I can't see a game like this ever being released on PS3/360.

Rated - 5 starsGaming perfection

adeling from Lancing, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 29/12/2007

It's only when you go back to other games that you realise quite how perfect this game is. I had only recently tried Super Mario 64 from the Virtual Console (I didn't have an N64) and was really disappointed so I was put off from trying this instalment.

But rave reviews from friends, all the magazines and websites I could find and even the mainstream media convinced me there had to be something in it.

And there is. The game is imaginative, just the right amount of challenging, innovative, varied and, well... perfect. The Wii remote (Wiimote) is used to just the right extent and is most certainly not a bolted-on gimmick as is sometimes the case in other games and the use of all three dimensions definitely adds, rather than confuses.

Rated - 4 starsGreat One Player Game

Selekta from Woking , 12/08/2008

This game was surprisingly entertaining and challenging. It has a classic story line and keeps you involved in the action.

The graphics are great and the game play is simple and easy to pick up. It does get a little disorientating when you are running around a planet upside down and the camera angle can get distracting, but really it just adds to the challenge.

This game would be better if there was an option to allow a friend to play along side as a one player game is slightly unsocial.

I definitely recommend this as a rental.
