Well here it is, the wait is over and what can i say about this game...well in one word "Breathtaking"...in two words "Very Breathtaking"...and in three words..."Game of the year"...well thats four words but i would be shocked if anything managed to beat this.

You play as Mario...i know shocking isn't it, well you start off heading to Princesses Peach's castle for the star festival, and who shows up to kidnap the princes...thats right Bowser (you would think after 20 years of failed attempts he would of given up, but no...see kids if first you don't succeed, keep trying and trying and trying....) :roll: .Well after a promising beginning the game just delivers on every level you can think of, with an easy and fun control system that is hands down the most responsive seen so far on the Wii, Mario Galaxy is a game that feels to good to be true, pointing the Wii-remote to collect/fire star bits and shaking it to cause a spin attack dont feel tacked on at all but as if this is what the console was made for. And considering this is the best game on the Wii so far it looks like thats what its for.

But what sets it apart from most platform games it that the platforms in this game are in fact small planets in each galaxy (stage) each planet has its own gravity which lets players run around them any which way they please, confusing and mind boggling at times its still fun non the less...and blasting yourself across the areas to new planets just ever gets old.

Theres just to much to say about this brilliant game...but if you have a Wii and want what could be the best Mario game since the SNES era then pick this up NOW.
10/10.

PROS
Best Wii game so far
Best Platform game of this gen if not in the last 10 years
So much fun to play

CONS
