    An absolute masterpiece. The level desing and art direction of this game are unmatched, fantastic visuals. Beautiful orchestrated music, and superb gameplay make from Mario Galaxy the best game of this decade in my humble opinion.

    This game is perfect, and the game we've all been waiting for! Masterpiece, and definitely not only the game of the year, but best game in many years! Get it NOW!

    Passes every litmus test for excellence on the books. Slights on perceived flaws is like faulting Citizen Kane for leaving an unnecessary scene on the cutting room floor. Unequivocably fantastic, and, along with iconic entries like Zelda and Tetris, contender for best game... of all time.

    Easily the best game out on the Wii and likely to retain the title until Smash Bros or Mario Kart Wii come out. Fun, exciting, easy to follow, great graphics, wonderful soundtrack, the controls are unbelievable. Get the game now because it will be one that people will be talking about and comparing to for the rest of the Wii's existence.

    Super Mario Galaxy is easily the best game on the Wii and is the most fun I've had on the console so far. Gameplay-wise it trumps Super Mario 64, which is an incredible feat. The creativity in level design is absolutely incredible, and the incredibly responsive controls make it a dream to play. Absolutely necessary, and worth buying a Wii for.

    The ONLY two things wrong with this game are: 1> You can't control the camera very well 2> See number 1.

    This game is downright amazing! I ws hoping for something like Mario 64 and this has more than raised the bar. Even more fun than Twilight Princess Wii has done it again! 2007 Game of the Year.

    Wow, this game is so fun. I really love it. On some levels you have music from SMB 3 that makes you feel really nostalgic. The controls are great and the grapics too and what can I say? The best game I ever played I think.

    Time to wipe the dust off your Wii. Super Mario Galaxy is easily the best game on the platform so far. The gameplay is intriguing and there are many elements in the game that is simply dazzling and leaves you bewildered. It uses the most out of the graphics the Wii can play and the control scheme is amazing. It blew away all my expectations and I ended up cleaning my drool on the floor.

    The best time I have had on a Nintendo System since the NES days. Those were magical days back when I was a kid. Now that I am an adult those same feeling of wonderment and excitement are back as I explore this massive and incredibly beautiful Galaxy! Thanks Nintendo! This is just so awesome! Must buy! Truely epic!

    Got the Super Mario Galaxy game and you can believe the hype. It's great. It's like running around in an M.C. Escher drawing, but with color. I can honestly say I have never played anything like it and that is saying something because I have pretty much played them all.

    Truly remarkable. The inventiveness in each and every level is just stunning. It's just a great breath of fresh air in a holiday season crammed with shooters. It's certainly the best Wii game in my opinion, and shows just what this system is capable of.

    There's no point in explaining the awesomeness of this game. It's like trying to define perfection. To put it simply, the closest gaming has come to a religious experience. Yeahoo!!

    By far the best Wii game, and likely the best game this year. It's so fresh, so fun, and so beautiful looking - a truly shinning star to show off the Wii.

    I've been playing the Japanese version of this, and I think it's one of the best games to be released in a long time. Everything hits the right note, the music is triumphant, the graphics are lovely and the gameplay is better than Mario's other 3D outings.
    I can't fault this game.

    Ive been playing the Japanese version. An excellent game to say the least. The whole new galaxy approach to the Mario universe makes it interesting to play. Plus there are plenty of bosses and puzzles to keep it interesting. It is also a lengthy game with all sorts of unexpected levels.

And though I am not completely sold on the Wii Remote for use with this kind of game, it's function does mix in well with the gameplay.The only draw backs are the visuals and lack of voice work. Though the levels are well designed, the game does not have crisp detailed 3D models. Also as is the case with most Nintendo party games, there is not enough spoken dialogue. This was a huge problem for me with Twilight Princess, but I find even with Mario, it takes away from the experience. Games that speak to you are just so much more involving. Regardless, I still give this game a well deserved 9.… Expand

    Yet another Mario game that doesn't just ride the franchise name to the status of a "classic" but earns it with great gameplay that will leave anyone & everyone smiling, and thats just by watching it in action. Just wait till you get a chance to play for yourself.

    It's rare to play through a perfect game or one that nears perfection, but Galaxy definitely fits that mold.

    Nintendo has crafted a platform game that, while not as technologically pioneering as its grandfather, is, level for level, more fun to play than "Mario 64." [Dec 2007, p.128]

    Galaxy proves that Mario matters just as much today as he did 25 years ago, and that makes him one of a kind in this medium. But don't play Galaxy simply because Mario is the timeless godfather of gaming. No, play Galaxy because it's fantastic.
