Well here it is, the wait is over and what can i say about this game...well in one word "Breathtaking"...in two words "Very Breathtaking"...and in three words..."Game of the year"...well thats four words but i would be shocked if anything managed to beat this.

You play as Mario...i know shocking isn't it, well you start off heading to Princesses Peach's castle for the star festival, and who shows up to kidnap the princes...thats right Bowser (you would think after 20 years of failed attempts he would of given up, but no...see kids if first you don't succeed, keep trying and trying and trying....) :roll: .Well after a promising beginning the game just delivers on every level you can think of, with an easy and fun control system that is hands down the most responsive seen so far on the Wii, Mario Galaxy is a game that feels to good to be true, pointing the Wii-remote to collect/fire star bits and shaking it to cause a spin attack dont feel tacked on at all but as if this is what the console was made for. And considering this is the best game on the Wii so far it looks like thats what its for.

But what sets it apart from most platform games it that the platforms in this game are in fact small planets in each galaxy (stage) each planet has its own gravity which lets players run around them any which way they please, confusing and mind boggling at times its still fun non the less...and blasting yourself across the areas to new planets just ever gets old.

Theres just to much to say about this brilliant game...but if you have a Wii and want what could be the best Mario game since the SNES era then pick this up NOW.
10/10.

PROS
Best Wii game so far
Best Platform game of this gen if not in the last 10 years
So much fun to play

CONS
NONE...ITS TOO GOOD :shock:



EDIT < was told that the picture was not coming up...hope that helps now :P

While I'm sure Mario Galaxy is a kickass game, my vote for GOTY is still with UT3.

I'm around a 1/3 through the campaign and it is pretty cool. I get very disoriented sometimes though on certain surfaces.

If you like 12 hour games. With only 20 hours of game play with side quests. Orange box most likly win. But don't forget there are tons of different sites.

I very well doubt a Bioware rpg is only 20 hrs long including side quests. I didn't finish JE but if I remember right I completed about every quest in KOTOR and that was around 60hrs.
On this note, what's wrong with short games? If they're awesome I could care less about the length. Most people buy games to have fun and if the game's done that then the length shouldn't matter. Portal anyone?

Read the review, I don't think you're qualified for pointing out mistakes.

Nothing wrong with it, but knowing Gamespot, and kinda ign. They will jump all over this.

Ok first of all Mario Kart on the N64 is rubbish compared to Mario Kart on
the NGC, which in itself is rubbish compared to SNES Mario Kart, secondly
if you dont have anything to say about the game then stop being a troll just
coming here and posting, posts which like this only server to troll and insult
people, then people would not hate you now...which they do...i have nothing
against you at all, but you been acting like a asshole recently and am not
the only one who thinks so...maybe you should change?

Also what mistakes are in my review...i would love you to show me? if you
mean those tiny grammar mistakes, well i just dont care...stop being a
troll ok ¬_¬

Are you serious?

Mario 64 is one of my favorite games of all time. alot of sequels to games never live up to the originals.

Metal Gear solid 1= best of series. (Even though it wasn't the first one

:P )
I'm just saying that alot of games get over-hyped and end dissapointing.

Well, when my sister gets the game, I will finally see if it's better than mario 64.
