    The games manages to be a sequel that feels even more immersive and the new mechanics add more to the games already crazy levels.

    Good

    - the drill item is fun to use - yoshi is so fun to use. - the visual, level, obstacle, enemy, and platforming design was incredibly creative. - I like how the devs transitioned the pink moving platformers into 3D - star ball stages are fun - the platform flip using the spin attack was creative and fun. - leading bomb-omb to blow up the glass ball was creative    Good

    - star ball stages are fun

    - the platform flip using the spin attack was creative and fun.

    - leading bomb-omb to blow up the glass ball was creative

    - more creative gravity levels

    - instead of just collecting coins for a star. Galaxy 2 has you to collect stars then a new planet is born, where there’s a bit of extra gameplay for you to collect the star.

    Bad

    - I prefer the hub world in galaxy 1, cause it felt like a home, and going into different rooms to enter levels. The classic hub world layout in galaxy 2 feels too concrete and boring.

    - the game is brain dead easy. Only thing that kept me going through the levels was the amusing, creative platforming. And the unique level, enemy, and obstacle designs.

    - Where’s Rosalina? I connected a lot with her in the first game from her life story in her story book. Now she’s nowhere in galaxy 2?    … Expand

    Les décors sont magnifiques, les boss bien pensés, la difficulté est progressive, le vaisseau est bien réalisé. Au moins les point les plus positifs sont les combats de boss épique (j'ai un coup de cœur pour Pyro Dino Piranha), les nouvelles mécaniques (plateformes clic-clac) et    (Please note: this note is in French !!

    I barely even played this game and I was simply amazed. Even after ten minutes, Nintendo EAD's masterpiece pulls you into a universe of incredible beauty. I won't spoil the details, but this probably has the best graphics to date on the Wii and the gamepl

    With the game being a sequel to Mario Galaxy, it is a no brainier that this is a timeless masterpiece that deserves the praise it gets for being an initiative, creative, and fun game.

    Leggermente più bello del primo Mario Galaxy. Il secondo gioco della serie Galaxy è più difficile e porta nuovi power up interessanti come il cappello Nuvola e il ritorno di Yoshi nella serie 3D, rimasto indietro ai tempi del lontano Sunshine. Che dire, un ottimo gioco come il primo, ma che non raggiunge per un pelo il 10, in ogni caso un altro grande Mario 3D da giocare.

    This game is a blast. The game sets itself apart from its predecessor by focusing less on the story and more on deepening the gameplay.

Even in 2021 I have a blast playing it with great physics and even visuals that doesn't look half bad even with todays standards. 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

    While the original Galaxy has a great sense of atmosphere Galaxy 2 has far better level design and replaces the weaker mechanics from the first game with better ones along with the amazing addition of Yoshi makes's this game a lot more fun.

    This is a great game, but because of all the Mario games of that era, being Galaxy, 3D Land and 3D World, it just feels generic.

    Even thought it reuses some music from Galaxy 1, it often remixes others such as the background music in World S being a different version of Gusty Garden Galaxy, and it works amazingly!

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

    it is simply a great game has a great soundtrack, a very good and entertaining gameplay and a lot of creativity behind each of the levels. It is a very good game and even if it does not have a very deep story or plot, I am almost sure you will have a great time and I know that I will be one of your favorites.

    While Super Mario Galaxy 2 could easily have been a cheap cash-in with a few lackluster additional levels, it manages to be something more. It expands on the gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy and adds enough new twists and turns to feel like a full-fledged sequel.

    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.
