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.
Customer Review: Super Mario Galaxy is awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome game. According to my son, its his favorite game in the whole world, including all the Nintendo DS Mario games.
Among other things, one item that makes the game unique (and perhaps superior) is that it is a three dimensional game where the screen shows various views of the adventure. The views range from directly overhead to 3/4 view from the back to directly underneath.
Customer Review: Super Mario Galaxy Takes Me Back
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit hesitant at first when considering whether to buy Super Mario Galaxy. I had always enjoyed the original Super Mario Brothers series on the NES but that was years ago. However when Amazon ran a deal and cut the price of the game I had to give it a try. I'm very glad that I did!
A few reviewers have commented that the game gets old after a while because you play the same type of boards over and over. I don't think anything could be further from the truth. The game designers in my opinion did a great job of varying the planets and galaxies to keep the game interesting. In addition, as you progress through the game the individual levels get longer, more complicated, and you must solve tougher puzzles to progress through each level.
I think the addition of mini-games at various times throughout the game as well as the chapter-by-chapter telling of the story of the observatory is another way that they keep the game fresh and interesting. For anyone that enjoyed the original Super Mario Brothers and the 32 two dimensional boards contained within it, you will love the 120 or so boards in this game and the incredible 3D play. Give it a try and I think you'll be hooked.
Customer Review: I AM SOLD ON NINTENDO
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a fan of the playstaion every since the first one came out in the 90's. I was a PS3 owner until my step son got a Nintendo WII for his birthday. I found mario galaxy on ebay and bought it used. I was hooked from day one. I sold my PS3 and all the games and bought myself a WII and this game. A must for all ages of gamersCustomer Review: Super Mario Galaxy ROCKS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love Super Mario Galaxy for Wii! I got it for my birthday in February and I beat it a couple months ago. It's an AWESOME game!! If you like Super Mario 64, this game is for you! The graphics are totally amazing--you've never seen Bowser this close up!! The story is really great--there's plenty of new characters as well as your favorites. The music is way beyond the normal stuff for Mario games. Being in space adds a whole new thrill to the game. Plus with co-star mode, I can help out my little sister with her game by holding off enemies with my second Wii remote. And there's still stuff to do after you beat it, too, so it's not like the game is completely useless after you beat it. There's challenging levels and easy levels so anyone can play. The controls are easy to catch on to. This game ranks in my top three Mario games. I would definatly recommend this game for anyone who's got a Wii and likes Mario games as much as I do!!
