    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Super Mario Galaxy is a fantastic 3d Super Mario game in the franchise, super Mario Galaxy is a absolutely masterpiece in my opinion, I love the movement, the mechanics, the hours of your life collecting 121 stars, and the best of all music, music is a absolute masterpiece and my favorite of the game, the movement I love how Mario moves in space how Mario spins and how mario gets power ups, I love how the story is dark but still have some fun moments in a mario game that I love and always won’t a dark or a fun moments in a mario game, bowser wants to be “ ruler of the galaxy” which I like since bowers is a king, there’s a lot I love about this game and I appreciate how the game got a “remaster” with to other fantastic 3d Mario games… Expand

    THE GAME IS A 10/10. THE BEST MARIO GAME EVER MADE ALONG WITH SOUNDTRACK AND CREATIVITY!!! The game is so nostalgic for me from the times that I played on the Wii as a kid and played this game almost every single day! Good times and I miss those great days.

    Even 15 years after, it feels technically and artistically a masterpiece.
    How it has plenty of literary references, the way it becomes "mature" in terms of Mario style and the music and art direction show that videogames are, in fact, art.

    Presentation, game feel, music, level desing, graphics, story, EVERYTHING is just PERFECT. This is the proof that mario can be a little bit more "deep" and less barebones and simple without been weird.

    One of the best platoformers ever made and probably the best Mario game. Music, level design, and gameplay is top notch.

    Still the best 3D Mario game. This game is an absolute masterpiece from its gorgeous artstyle, phenomenal orchestrated soundtrack, to its stellar and innovative gameplay, it's one of the greatest video games ever made.

    The only thing stopping this game getting 10 is the fact that once you've got the 120 stars and completed it, you unlock luigi, you then have to do it all over again. I don't think i can justify playing a whole game through again. That said, this has to be the best game ever, quite simply, if you own a wii you MUST buy this game!

    Loved it! I was very disappointed with Sunshine but makes up for more of it. Although, the only flaw is it's difficulty. It's very easy and has little replay value. A solid 9!

    A great game, one of the better games on the wii thus far, but ultimately it gets a bit boring. I think the game was highly overrated and in no way deserved a better score than zelda twilight princess, maybe not even metroid prime 3.

    Fantastic game! Only thing keeping it from a perfect score is the POV can mess you up sometimes. Plus the 3D isn't all it could be. Sometimes hard to tell what's near and what's far away. Minor stuff really, though.

    I have to admit: it is a pretty game. In fact, I thought it was going to be another Mario adventure (Sunshine was a disappointment, so I thought this was going to be a letdown), but I was wrong. Believe it or not, I finished the first story (there's two, if you didn't know, and there are 242 Stars total!) in four days at 10 hours/day. Plainly addicted to it.

To sum up quickly, I loved the Bowser battles and most of the galaxies (loved Toy Time Galaxy and the Battlefield Galaxies), but they ended up being a bit on the easy side (fluctuates; sometimes too easy, sometimes god-awful hard. Go to the Green Star Galaxy and you'll be pushing yourself to max.). Still, the game looks good and plays great on Multi-Star mode. It is awesome. Oh, and if you're one of the guys who didn't play to the last level, or if you didn't like the last level, then you're stupid not to.… Expand

    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

    Most people like this game, a few people used the F word to describe the game and brung up that it's too ordinary like super mario 64. they said that even mario sunshine and mario 64 were better but they are wrong. this game is addicting, has a good "ordinary" storyline, and sensible controls. I seriously love this game and so do most people I know.

    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.
