My husband and I (ages 32 and 28) love this game!!! My 6.5 year old loves helping her dad play by using the second controller and helping him collect stars (which is great as she can do that and feel involoved without messing up the game). The games is very entertaining and has the same charm as previous Mario games.

I've played thousands of video games in my day, and I can honestly say this is a new classic, truly amazing, and easily one of the best (most fun) video games ever made. Why bother writing a glowing review for a game that is already swamped with glowing reviews? You can no doubt learn all you need to learn about the game's mechanics, story, etc.

He has to show it to everyone who comes to our house and he has so many great things to say about it. I love that it has some old school sounds and icons from the original games. It's great fun.

I have played Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and New Super Mario Bros. on the DS in recent years (plus the original Mario 1, 2, and 3 in the past), and can say without a doubt this is the best Super Mario game ever made. It takes the fun of the 2-dimensional Mario games and remains very 3D, beautiful, and accessible.

We have played it every day since getting it, determined to solve (win) the game, and there is so much to see and do in this game; so, it will take a while to solve it all. Graphics are great, the controls are used in a lot of different ways, everything is oriented in 3D, which proves very interesting in several parts of the game. One of the best Super Mario games I've ever played!

In anticipating this game I naturally talked it up to my girlfriend (nothing's better than a game we can both get in to). However, I quickly realized as I started playing that while I found the game amazing and the boggling camera angles interesting, my girlfriend was made virtually ill just watching.

I can strongly recommend this game. This is the best Mario game since Super Mario World for SNES and, for me, has been more fun than any of the other Mario titles. Don't even hesitate; it is great.

The game is incredibly fun, providing a great mix of eye-candy, intuitive and fun gameplay, and a gentle learning curve! I HIGHLY recommend this game! Whatever drugs the designers were on, I want some!

Sets the graphical bar for the Wii with 16x9, 480p support (with the component cable), very fluid animation that never drops below 60fps, great lighting and textures. The controls are very intuitive and easy to learn. The game makes great use of the wiimote and nunchuck controller Extrememly fun, Innovative, and addictive gameplay (even for a mario game).

It is quite different, with lots of planets to conquer and some unusual vantage points. I ordered it with the official Prima guide and I know he will love finding every little "secret" to this game. His friends have all asked for the game as well after trying it, so there must be something to all those kid's opinions!

On another he learns to ride on the back of water creatures. On other planets he learns to buzz around like a bee, fling himself from weird sticky rubbery things, swing on a trapeze-like contraption, kick melons at enemies, use creatures as springboards, use giant flowers as hang gliders, ice skate, and much much more.

Each level is designed to be fun and challenging...and figuring out how to defeat the boss creatures is too much fun. My 4 year old loves watching us play while he uses the 2nd controller to collect the Star Bits as we play. It's a perfect family game.

Everything is bright and colorful and cartoon like suiting the games enviroment. You'll find yourself loving the simple and straight foward designs of the levels and enemies. Music: The soundtrack is great.

There is so much variety in Galaxy, it's really quite amazing. The worlds/galaxies/space rocks all look amazing. They all have their own unique feel, and all of them were carefully designed.

Speaking of UI (user interface) design, I love the Co-operative mode, which allows my wife to play along even in a casual manner. And since the Co-op mode is entirely optional, a partner can leave the game and rejoin at a later time.

The hardest levels are the bonus levels, which I'm pretty sure you don't have to play in order to beat the game, making this a great game for all ages... at least 5-40 year olds; I've heard that people in retirement homes have been playing the Wii, and I could see them having difficulties controlling Mario when he's upside-down on the underside of a planet.

A few times my kids actually jumped up with joy raising their hands in the air like Rocky! How amazing! A toy that actually UPLIFTS your spirits!

This has to be one of the best, smartest and most fun Mario games I have ever played. When I saw the previews of the game on some of the websites last year I was skeptical. I was unsure how running around a small globe in space would be all that fun.

There was excessive dialogue that i couldn't skip past. Spent way too much time reading from fairy-like creatures. Graphics are good, actually great by Wii standards, and i don't doubt this is the best mario bros for wii.

It appeals to almost all age-groups, the graphics are amazing, the sound it up to par with the other mario games (i.e. just about perfect), and the boss fights and challenges are almost endless. I'll repeat myself: This game is awesome!!!

Boy am I glad I did! The gameplay is awesome, it has very comfy, smooth controls (very few current wii titles have mastered the control schema as well as this one...

I think the title of this review captures it all. The story, animations, gameplay and the game's universe are all absolutely stunning and a joy to experience. A perfect holiday gift for long-time gamers (especially Mario fans) as well as those new to the wii.

Overall, this is a must have for all wii owners, and a great reason for non wii owners to get a wii and play this game (if you can find one). If it weren't for the few camera and control quirks, this would be a perfect game. As it is, it is a really awesome game, and one you must play.

This game has everything you want in a game, great graphics, sound, story, and gameplay. If you own a wii I highly recommend picking this title up, you won't regret it.

This game brought back nostalgic memories of playing a Mario game with the awesome gameplay of the wii. This definitely is the "Must have" game for this console. Great graphics backed with a really good story line to keep you engaged.

This is amazing, not just the perfect and simple gameplay, and the graphics that in my opinion are the best seen in wii so far, it's just that feeling of a great Nintendo's game since Ocarina Of time.

the new controls w/ the wii remote and the nunchuck are superb, you can still do all the old trick that we all remember from before, but there are so many new things mario can do now. i'm 25 years old and i find this game addictive and challenging still.

I love that I can join in and "tag along" with him on this game without actually doing the difficult things as I know that I couldn't do them!! The graphics are great and the whole game is very eye appealing!! Some of the music is from the "old" super mario games which brings back childhood memories!

From start to finish this game does not disappoint. The story line is great, the graphics are surprisingly smooth (for a Non-HD console), and the gameplay is perfect. The game is absolutely suitable for all ages.

i got it for christmas and i loved it starting from the first level! the good: tremendous graphics(best graphics on the wii to be exact),great new controls, fun enviorments, great new enamies.

However when my son started screaming "Mom you have to kill this guy for me!", I couldn't resist! So I ask "What do I do"..........now I'm totally addicted and so is my husband. The graphics are cool, Mario is super awesome and the bad guys are really "out of this world"!

Visually, it's stunning, paning around a pixar colored galaxy just give's you an awe-inspiered look. gameplay wise, you'll be saying to your self 'that is just to cool', going up, down and all around never felt so natural. Only down sides are you can go through the whole game with out a story at all, and if you want to, you'll have to perfectly complete the game(double your effort's!

So far we have seen many good games for the Wii, most of them with tons of mini games and a gameplay that can be enjoyable for the hole family. With Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo put the most famous plumber on the stage again, this time this "stage" is on space. The true sequel to Super Mario 64 has arrived to the Wii, with a twist on the way you have played any mario game.

We have played it every day since getting it, determined to solve (win) the game, and there is so much to see and do in this game; so, it will take a while to solve it all.

This was one of them, and i am hooked! It is really fun and the controls are easy to use. I can tell you know what my weekends will be like from now on :super mario galaxy time!

The music can be pumping when it comes to certain enemy's I love a good dramatic soundtrack when your in the middle of battle and the grahics are out of this world(Pun Intended.. LOL) The controls are simple and fun. I like a good game that is a little hard and a little easy it makes having fun with it even more great.

The controls are perfect, the camera is passable (or as good as a third person camera can really get), and the use of gravity in this 3d universe is amazing. This is a perfect delight for any fan of the long-running series, and I suspect it will draw a few newcomers in.

My only source of criticism for Galaxy is the orientation. When you're up on one of those space rocks, the orientation can be a little annoying. As you move around the rock, you don't maintain the same camera orientation, and as such you have to reverse your normal controls.

The level designs vary, and many have unique uses of the Wii controls, keeping the game feeling fresh. The downsides? No true multi-player coop (with say Luigi on the screen).

First off, let me recommend Super Mario Galaxy as a very fun game. It has an easy learning curve and you don't need to read the manual to play it, so anyone can just pick up and play. Veterans of the Mario series will find a lot of familiar themes, like items that transform Mario into a different mode with different abilities (Bee Mario, Fire Mario, Ice Mario).

Galaxy is simply too easy, and there aren't really any "secrets." I remember some of the more hard-won shine sprites in Sunshine were some of the most frustrating gaming experiences of my life, and upon getting those sprites I felt a huge rush of accomplishment. These were the ones where your water tank was taken away and one wrong move traversing a network of spinning tinker toys spelt Mario death.

This was one of them, and i am hooked! It is really fun and the controls are easy to use. I can tell you know what my weekends will be like from now on :super mario galaxy time!

The music can be pumping when it comes to certain enemy's I love a good dramatic soundtrack when your in the middle of battle and the grahics are out of this world(Pun Intended.. LOL) The controls are simple and fun. I like a good game that is a little hard and a little easy it makes having fun with it even more great.

It's a little on the easy side at first, but the difficulty slant is great for non-gamers who don't exactly understand game mechanics. In fact, my older sister LOVES the game, and she usually only plays games like Tetris! The storyline isn't exactly the deepest in the world, but it's very cute!

If the boss battles were easy, nobody would have any fun. The galaxies themselves are simply amazing. Over time, the game's story gets more intense as you unlock chapters in a storybook that you can read anytime you like in the library.

Bu tthese are minor thing sin a great game. While the bosses are mostly easy there much harder under Daredevil comets where you can only get hit once.

This works great if you have a child who needs help (or maybe a parent!) Overall I would recommend this over any game on the Wii right now. It is hard enough to keep it interesting yet easy enough to make it fun for everyone.

I bought it for my 5 year old son and he loves it too! At first it takes a little getting used to to move Mario using the nunchuck and the wii remote at the same time, but then its easy! When you first getto a level they way you fight the guys is training fo when you met the big guy!

Everything is bright and colorful and cartoon like suiting the games enviroment. You'll find yourself loving the simple and straight foward designs of the levels and enemies. music: The soundtrack is great.

I love that I can join in and "tag along" with him on this game without actually doing the difficult things as I know that I couldn't do them!! The graphics are great and the whole game is very eye appealing!! Some of the music is from the "old" super mario games which brings back childhood memories!

With the component cables, the game looks even better. The music is also outstanding and some of the best on any video game ever (old school Mario fans will like the way they use classic cues). The only negative thing I can say is that due to the wild gravity system and being upside down quite a bit, I only play a few levels at a time due (the first day I played for prolonged periods and got migraine from motion sickness).

I have been a fan of Nintendo Mario products ever since i was a child and this game does a great job of giving you the adventurous fun mario feel. The score, thus far reminds me a bit of Disney music for some reason, which i found humorous.

It's beautifully rendered, the music is sublime, and it feels so natural and most of all FUN. It's the game that defines the Wii, what has been talked about for a year now, and finally released.

I LOVED the music in the game. The story felt even bigger and epic thanks to the music, and it's almost the same as other Mario games, minus the Luma and their Mom story arc. The gameplay was satisfying, specially those hard platforming levels which used the Mario Bros.

But the best part about Sunshine was that I actually enjoyed "being there" in a sense, since the "worlds" were very resort-like in most cases and the music really helped set this mood.

IT brings us back to the classic coin collecting habits of an old friend. You will see a lot of familiar faces, scenes, and music. The games unique use of gravity and surfaces is great but can be a pain at times.

However, once I finally began doing so, I was addicted. The fluid graphics and music combined with the intuitive controls and sophisticated gameplay satiated my appetite for a fun new game. The most fun part of this game is something rare: you can choose which levels you play.

i love this game and it's constantly providing a challenge. we last played Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube so this is really a step up. I have to say, most of Sunshine is like the special levels of Sunshine where Mario had to use skill and timing to beat particular obstacle course like scenarios.

The graphcs are awsome. When you fly from galaxy to galaxy, it looks really cool.some of the levels are kind of hard, but once you beet the hard ones, you feel great. some levels are easy and short.

Anyway, despite all of this, I don't think it's as good as some people say it is. While SMG is my favorite platformer and one of the best games on the wii (ties with Super Paper Mario, it is not perfect. Some of the later levels crank up the difficulty to frusterating and a couple of Mario's power-ups are annoying to use.

The graphics, design of the levels, and finally the game play with the Wiimote are excellent. My girlfriend didn't like playing video games before we got the Wii, but after showing her how easy the gameplay can be with the wiimote + nunchuck and her finding the characters "cute" in SMG she had to try and enjoyed it.

I LOVED the music in the game. The story felt even bigger and epic thanks to the music, and it's almost the same as other Mario games, minus the Luma and their Mom story arc. The gameplay was satisfying, specially those hard platforming levels which used the Mario Bros.

However, once I finally began doing so, I was addicted. The fluid graphics and music combined with the intuitive controls and sophisticated gameplay satiated my appetite for a fun new game. The most fun part of this game is something rare: you can choose which levels you play.

The set up for playing different levels is similar to the past 3D Mario games, you have several different locations and a few different missions for each location.

It appeals to almost all age-groups, the graphics are amazing, the sound it up to par with the other mario games (i.e. just about perfect), and the boss fights and challenges are almost endless. I'll repeat myself: This game is awesome!!!

Boy am I glad I did! The gameplay is awesome, it has very comfy, smooth controls (very few current wii titles have mastered the control schema as well as this one...

This game brought back nostalgic memories of playing a Mario game with the awesome gameplay of the Wii. This definitely is the "Must have" game for this console. Great graphics backed with a really good story line to keep you engaged.

I cannot tell you how awesome just starting a level with Mario blasting off into space is. Gameplay is rock solid, and I almost never found myself having to reposition the camera because it was at some weird angle like in Mario Sunshine.

However when my son started screaming "Mom you have to kill this guy for me!", I couldn't resist! So I ask "What do I do"..........now I'm totally addicted and so is my husband. The graphics are cool, Mario is super awesome and the bad guys are really "out of this world"!

The fact that I am willfully allowing myself to get sick in order to play this game is pretty much the best endorsement I can give. It's awesome.

Surprisingly awesome! Bought this for my 7 yr old son and he took to it like a duck to water. The 3D view is outstanding.

The concept of running around giant spheres can be daunting at first; if there's no pulsating black hole underneath your planet, falling off the edge just doesn't come into the equation. Without the pulling power of the black holes, no matter where you run or jump gravity will twist and pull you towards the planet, allowing you to run all the way around it and even jump to other planets by hopping into their gravitational pull. It's awesome.

This game is absolutely awesome. As always, this Mario game defines what is expected out of a game.
