    Mario Galaxy 2 takes every great thing about its predecessor and makes it even better. In other words: it takes a perfect game and makes it even better.

    This game is so amazing. For 2007 this game feels and controls like it was made today. This is an epic 3d game and has levels that are pretty easy (BUT FUN) and of course there are some levels that are really challenging (STILL FUN). If you have not played this game, you are missing out BIG time. This game is as good as the first and having yoshi is an interesting fun choice

However, it isn't my nostalgia that is forcing me give this game an outstanding score, but rather that Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Nintendo Wii is an absolute masterpiece.

    I played this game before the original, and going back to the first game, I still had a great time, as it's still an excellent game, but it felt less addictive and generally good as the sequel. Anyone who says this is a watered - down sequel is not doing the game justice. It is superior in almost every way.

    The graphics are some of the best on the Wii, resembling it's predecessors' hugely, but with more variety in it's environments. It looks smooth, detailed and downright whimsical, from Yoshi's bright blue eyes, to the stellar space backgrounds, to a gleaming gold power star, Galaxy 2 looks brilliant. Likewise, the music is as heart - wringing and beautiful as the original. The tunes are even better, and fit with the general atmosphere well. Even old tunes are remixed or improved, with a chilling vocal chord or some extra instruments sound.

    Story? Minimal and never distracts from the action. Follows the same trope as all other Mario games, and the tale is told in a memorable and cute way, with quirky side characters prepared with helpful, funny and well - written dialogue. Captain Toad, Lubba and the adorable penguins were some of my favourites. The dialogue that is there is well - voiced, and it does build up tension in a way the you are bursting in anticipation by the final boss fight.

    But the gameplay is where it's at. I don't think I can do it justice, but I'll have a try - and it's brilliant. Constantly shaking it up with new mechanics that are always super enjoyable, and slowly building on them to test your skill by the end of the level. Power - ups that make Mario have new abilities ( a staple of the Mario series in general). 2D levels, challenges, and even YOSHI! With his own power - ups and enjoyments, he has fully featured levels as the duo try and nab more Power Stars!, Boss Fights with threats and mechanics that make them the some of best in the series, and an endless variety of enemies. Traditional levels, open levels... Damn. You can play through all of this with a great control scheme which makes great use of both the point an motion sensor, and another player can hop along in the form of an orange Luma! The Hub is smaller, sure, but is packed with stuff to do. And so is this game. Seriously. Among Prankster Comets, and the many Green Stars, this game has SO MUCH for you to do.

    And you know what? The best thing to do is just play it - this review is merely the tip of the iceberg. Your kids must play this, they will remember it fondly as they grow up, and besides, it's the perfect game to help your kids develop a taste for the colourful, child - friendly Nintendo, a company that makes games so fun I'd never play any dismal, grey shooter. Prepare to be amazed - you will (if you buy it) experience the best game ever made.    … Expand

    What do you say about a game that's basically just an expansion of the previous one? It's still incredible!

It's still incredible! Gameplay is sharp as always and the music alone deserves an award, visuals are colourful and vibrant, and have aged well despite being a fairly old game on 15 year old hardware. The cartoony shiny graphics and Mario's goofy face will bring a smile to the face of just about anyone with a semblance of soul.
    The few changes to the gameplay include a few new powerups (the rock mushroom, cloud flower, and ghost mushroom), while removing the ice flower from the previous game along with one elusive end game bonus. The biggest additions, however, would be Luigi being made available halfway through the game and selectable from the hub world, and YOSHI, who is a joy to play as and comes with his own set of powerups and mechanics.
    The downsides that make this game maybe a 0.1 point worse than the original for me are a massive reduction of the story, hub world, and level complexity. If you were hoping for another Little Prince-esque adventure like the original, prepare to be let down as all you're getting is the basic mario plot and a fat floating Patrick Star. The hub world, rather than being a massive flying castle is now just a small starship shaped like Mario's face (no I'm not lying) which, while more packed and compact, feels less epic. An upside however is that the new more barebones map screen makes it easier to just jump in and play the game. Lastly the levels, while just as good, are much shorter and less sprawling
    In conclusion, Mario Galaxy 2 is still an absolute masterpiece and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone owning a Wii    … Expand

    Whilst it might not have captured the wondrous scale of its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is as close as a game can reach to perfection. Pushing the platform genre to its boundaries, it constantly innovates and excels. Adding on one of the best soundtracks in the industry, you NEED to play this!

    While not as good as Super Mario Galaxy 1, it still manages to bring new things to the table while keeping it interesting. The levels are better than Mario Galaxy 1, but I would say that they are not quite as iconic. And the store of Rosalina makes it hard for Galaxy 2 to surpass.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is surprisingly even more polished and better designed than its superb predecessor. This was clearly a work of love done by people that really comprehend what makes action platformers, and Mario games in particular, so fascinating to play. The game is fun and exciting from the beginning to the end, progressing at a breezy pacing, with some fast paced levels and none too slow paced or too difficult. It even has an easy-to-navigate map that, like in the 2D classics, lets you fly right into the next level, giving it a more addictive non-stop action feel, when compared to past 3D Mario games, by focusing on what's important: stomping goombas and going through the extremely engaging levels.

    VISUALS ( 10 out of 10 )
    Best graphics of any game for the Wii.

    SOUND ( 10 out of 10 )
    Amazing and wide-ranging soundtrack that skilfully mixes old tunes with new compositions and always fits the action perfectly.

    VALUE ( 10 out of 10 )
    The amount of variety in Galaxy 2 is astounding – more so than in any other action platformer that came before it. Every level has its own unique gameplay mechanics and activities, all very fun and none feels made in a hurry, so you never know what novelties come next and they never stop coming. Even the power-ups are more and better used than ever in this game, being Yoshi the most noteworthy of them all. There are 242 stars to collect, most of them challenging enough to satisfy even the most skilled gamers, providing some of the most gratifying moments you can have in a video-game.

    FINAL SCORE ( 10 out of 10 )
    In my opinion, Galaxy 2 is the most fun, inventive, varied, beautiful and absorbing Action Platformer of all time. The concept behind the creation of Galaxy 2 is an extension of the first Galaxy's concept, so it can't possibly have the same impact. But what makes Galaxy 2 so great and what will keep you coming back, even after you've collected every star, is the expertly designed levels, with an incredible amount of variety, a constantly changing pace due to excellent mix of 3D and 2D gameplay and the great number of different power-ups, mechanics and activities, all smartly placed, delightful and interesting, level after level after level after level… leaving you breathless and full of joy!    … Expand

    Infelizmente, esse jogo não possui um história tão épica quanto o primeiro e por ter sido lançado como uma continuação, isso quebrou um pouco minha expectativa em relação à história e pelo jogo ter sido lançado depois, o jogo gerou muito menos impacto do que o primeiro.
    Porém, o jogo expandiu as possibilidades de novos planetas chegando ao limite da criatividade e da fantasia, superando o level design do primeiro Super Mario Galaxy, além de uma ADMIRÁVEL E BELÍSSIMA TRILHA SONORA, tão boa quanto o game.
    Eu acho que o primeiro Super Mario Galaxy é melhor que o segundo, mas não subestime esse jogo, esse game tem seus próprios méritos e merecer ser jogado.

    (Recomendo começar com o Super Mario Galaxy e depois jogar o segundo jogo, para entender um pouco melhor a ideia do jogo)

    Both Mario Galaxy games are my favorite games of all time. The story is a bit weirder than Galaxy one but it’s still great (I won’t spoil it). The levels are just like Galaxy one and are set up as more linear play platforming stages than areas to run around in and find collectibles and I prefer that over 64 and Sunshine.

So say if you under shoot a jump, you can wall jump and spin out of it to get on top. The music in this game is phenomenal (my favorite tracks are fluffy bluff galaxy and luma and the hat). Unlike in the original game there is more to do after you beat the normal game
    (but I won’t spoil it). Overall, this game is great and a must play!    … Expand

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a perfect game. Try to look me in the eye and tell me it is not perfect with a straight face. Everything in this game clicks magnificently. The gameplay is so fun. Every single level is so perfectly designed I can't think of one bad, or meh level. The controls are probably the best controls for a game ever in my opinion (as of 10/22/20).

And even though everything is so good up to this point the best is yet to come. The music. There is no such feeling as running around on a small and interesting planet while an epic orchestra is blasting and cheering you on. For every bombastic piece there is a quiet and more toned down ballad at some other point and it turns this game into a emotional rollercoaster - in a good way… Expand

I sometimes hear people talk about how they dislike the linear world map which pretty much forces you to play every level as opposed to Galaxy 1 which gives you a few levels, and depending on how much stars you have, let’s you play whatever levels you like. I personally have no problem with the world map in Galaxy 2 as it works kind of the same way, you pick a level, pick a star (or find a secret one), then play. You have all the right to skip levels in some areas, but I guess I understand why people don’t like it. I have no problem with it as you sometimes have to play more of this amazing game, and while that doesn’t sound as fun, again, it makes up for it with the soundtrack and, in some cases, amazing level design and idea. Overall I feel like this game is amazingly BAD at being bad, seriously, really the only time I ever regretted playing this game was when I was playing “The Perfect Run”, which is entirely optional, I just wanted to 100% complete this game as I’ve had it for almost a decade, and I really recommend you do too!… Expand

However, I recently played galaxy 1 and the 1up are also very easy to get and I do remember there being space in galaxy 2. Lastly there is space in the game and it's the first game to feature that final level if you know what I mean. With that out of the way I want to say that the levels are sometimes better than 1 as well as the levels being more plentiful. Lastly the multiplayer is better too as you couldn't do much with player 2 in galaxy 1. On it's own as a mario game, it's one of the best in the series. Yes it still has the spring power up which is not fun to use but everything else is great. It's got a good final boss, it has yoshi, it has great music, and it has a great cloud power up.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 is largely more of the same, and that helps make it a phenomenal experience. Nintendo didn't reinvent the formula. Instead, it took what fans loved about the prequel and then jazzed everything up with never before seen galaxies, planets and a more streamlined user interface.
