Video Game Reviews of Super Mario Galaxy
Customer Review: Great Fun but Gets Old
Summary: 3 Stars
While the game is clever and original and everything everyone expected in a game stretching the limits of platform gaming, it has two major problems.
The first, as many people have mentioned, are the camera angles. Usually, the camera does an amazing job of keeping you and enemies in view, but just as often you cannot tell where you are going and you make a leap of faith, hoping that you don't die. However, you will probably have so many lives that dying won't be a problem.
The second, is that the game presents no challenge. Some levels are difficult. Some levels get made difficult with the "Comets" in orbit, changing the rules. However, in this game you are incapable of going the wrong direction as long as you keep moving forward. No matter what direction you take, as long as it isn't back the way you came, you will proceed toward the star. There is no longer any search involved or thought. Most puzzles are simple and straightforward, and you can play most of the levels with very minimal attention.
The game is fun for quite a while, but after about 70 stars gathered without effort, interest can be lost.

The next thing he knows, he finds himself on a mysterious moon high above the Mushroom Kingdom! Navigate Mario through a bevy of exciting new worlds and the depths of space, with all new enemies, power-ups and attack skills, as he collects the Stars needed to save Princess Peach!
