    I consider it a masterpiece. The childish dream that you never want to end is absolutely brilliant. Consider it one of the best platformers ever. I mean it.

    One of the greatest Wii games of all time, only bested by it's successor. i have rarely had THIS much enjoyment from a game, and it truly blew me away playing it for the first time.

    Incluso 10 años despues de su lanzamiento sigue siendo simplemente perfecto. Una joya atemporal y uno de los mejores Marios (y eso es decir muchisimo).

    Everyone know that when a franchise runs out of ideas they usually go to space. Thankfully Nintendo run out of ideas a gave us this majestic game! One of the best plattaformers of all time.

    The best Mario game of all time. This game is an absolute masterpiece, and it is perfect in so many ways that I don't even know where to start. The graphics barely show any age, even 10 years after its release. The visuals in general are mesmerizing, and I found myself gazing out into the beautiful, massive skyboxes many times over.

The graphics barely show any age, even 10 years after its release. The visuals in general are mesmerizing, and I found myself gazing out into the beautiful, massive skyboxes many times over. Perhaps the most overlooked part of this game is its music; the soaring, atmospheric melodies written by Yokota and Kondo are unlike anything I have ever heard in a video game. From the welcoming chorus of Good Egg Galaxy, to the beautiful atmospheric soundscapes of Space Junk Galaxy and the Gateway Galaxy, to the climactic opera-like final battle theme, this soundtrack is unforgettable, and may just be my favorite video game soundtrack of all time. The controls are standard 3D Mario, but I feel that Galaxy takes a step up in terms of control responsiveness and accuracy. I feel more control over Mario in this game than I do in Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine. The environments, as I mentioned, are masterfully varied and concisely designed. They feel large, but never unnecessarily so. It is an absolute joy to explore and discover them; the visuals blend with the atmospheric music so nicely. The story, while not necessarily driving the game, is still compelling, thought-provoking, and at times surprisingly heavy, especially near the end of the game. All in all, this game is an absolute masterpiece and one of, if not THE best Nintendo title to date. It is a must play for any Nintendo fan. Rest in piece Iwata, and THANK YOU for this game.… Expand

    My favorite game of all time, and one of the best games ever in my opinion. This title is absolutely bursting at the seams with master level design and ingenious challenges. Super Mario Galaxy takes a semi-common and often maligned platformer cliche of anti-gravity and makes it the absolute best part of the game.

    The visuals for a 2007 Wii game are still to this day outstanding. While    My favorite game of all time, and one of the best games ever in my opinion.

    The visuals for a 2007 Wii game are still to this day outstanding. While the Switch port in Super Mario 3D All-Stars may be seen as cheating for some when talking visuals, playing on the original Wii disc, especially on a Wii U for HDMI, the game holds up remarkably well. The music is one of the best soundtracks ever composed, its beautiful orchestral melodies mixed with the galactic themes of the levels is a match made in heaven.

    The only thing people widely dislike about the game, the motion gimmick levels, barely make up 5 percent of all the levels in the game. Only 6 stars out of the game's 121 stars are the motion controlled levels, and they really are not that bad as long as you pretend the Wiimote or Joycon you're using is a joystick.

    Overall, this game is one of the greats, easily the best of both the Wii's library and Mario's entire catalog, and is a masterpiece on every front. I believe this is a game absolutely everyone should play.    … Expand

    When I was 12 this game won my heart from the start and i replayed it many times over the years. Ideas for levels are out of this world. Best Mario soundtrack ever and graphically still hold up to this day. One of the best linear 3d platformer ever.

    Great game with interesting mechanics

    don't look at the bad reviews they are all: "Anybody who likes Nintendo is a goddamn man child. You must be so easily entertained, like a baby staring in awe at his own fingers and toes. You have the IQ and impressability of a toddler, and not only that, most of their games are single player which means you're lonely too. I chuckle when I see    Great game with interesting mechanics

You have the IQ and impressability of a toddler, and not only that, most of their games are single player which means you're lonely too. I chuckle when I see people playing their Switches and 3DSes, knowing that they are lonely and have no proper taste in gaming. If they had any semblance of half a brain they would know that what they are playing is for children and that they should be playing REAL games like CS:GO or Overwatch. Even Call of Duty is at least somewhat decent. Nintendo, however, with their mild game content and rare online multiplayer, is a joke. Have fun with your Zelda and Pokemon, kid. Just know that I am, and will always be, 10 times as smart as you are."    … Expand

    Very fun and amazing game. The story was great, the game had a few emotional moments, and the music was absolutely amazing. I actually felt like I was Mario playing this game. The controls are good, the spin mechanic is a great addition, and overall it's just an incredible game. One of the best, at that.

Como en cada Mario en 3D se añaden nuevas mecánicas y se perfeccionan si es posible las antiguas, este juego puede presumir de un control excelente sin lugar a dudas. En este juego Mario se va al espacio a rescatar a la princesa visitando mundos preciosos con planetas de distintos tamaños que en algunos casos para visitarlos tienes que jugar con la gravedad muy bien implementada. Sin duda se podría decir que es uno de los mejores juegos de la historia.… Expand

    I think this is the only Mario game I've seen all the way to completion.

    Smartly laid out courses Mario Galaxy manages to have the movement of Mario 64 and the simple to understand direction of Mario World. Set in SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!

    And that Rosalina storybook, my heart aches just thinking about it.

    The best game on the wii, or maby even the best game created? No wonder Nintendo had to release a sequel for it some years later for the same system
    Even though the second game is also pretty good nothing can beat the first game. The hub world and the Music is the most memorable even though the physics and gameplay are also gamebreaking. After 100%ing this game, I just wanted more of it.    The best game on the wii, or maby even the best game created?

    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.

    praticamente la mia infanzia, questo gioco mi ha fatto diventare un fan accanito all'età di 9 anni circa, anche se in questo caso l'età non conta, perchè mario rimane sempre mario.
    oltretutto è anche recentissimo a livello grafico e di gameplay, quindi si, probabilmente il miglior gioco di super mario mai creato.

    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.
