Super Mario Galaxy is one of those games that seems gimmicky, boring, annoying, and frustrating at first. Yet, once you learn all controls to the best of your ability, the game really starts to jump out. Mario is one of those characters who have lasted overtime. Unlike Sonic and Crash…Mario continues to prove he is the number one mascot.

Title: Super Mario Galaxy

The Good:

Super Mario Galaxy is set in a new outer space world, where Mario travels from galaxy to galaxy in order to collect Power Stars. Power Stars are earned by completing quests or defeating enemies. Each galaxy contains a number of planets and other space matter for the player to explore. The game uses a new physics system that allows for a unique feature: each celestial object has its own gravitational force, allowing the player to completely circumnavigate rounded or irregular surfaces, walking sideways or upside down. The player is usually able to jump from one celestial object and then fall towards another one close by. Super Mario Galaxy overall is pretty fun, jumping from planet to planet and having the gravity pulling you towards them. Shaking the wii-mote to attack, jump, fly, swing and many others thing makes this game creative and a blast. The game play in regards to the planets and surfaces having all their own gravities adds a certain level of complexity to each area. The ability for the friend to pickup a second wii-mote and shoot stars, and collect them, adds to the family play of a game which is almost always mostly a single player game.
