i prefer super mario 64. makes for a harder view on things. I haven't played it yet, but i watched my son. it seems to be more difficult and i am not a fan of how its all done on circular planets.
The ultimate goal still hasn't changed: Mario has to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The power stars are used to power the Comet Observatory, a "space station" that Mario uses to get to other galaxies.
It is a must-have for Wii owners.PS: One might see a similarity between Mario Galaxy and a previous Mario game on Gamecube: Super Mario Sunshine. After collecting enough power stars, Mario can go to the center of the universe to rescue Peach.This game kept me coming back for more, and sometimes it was hard to put down.
It is no wonder that Super Mario Galaxy was the #1 game on Wii for some time. This time, Mario has to take to outer space, exploring dozens of galaxies in search of power stars.
If you disliked Sunshine (I have heard that many did), don't worry about Galaxy; Nintendo seems to have worked out the problems that were in Sunshine. The game is great, with a new touch on an old classic.
But the similarity to other Mario games ends there.
There is something that is missing, maybe it's the tension of speed running and jumping on tiny platforms while avoiding fireballs. It is an excellent game. Just think of it as something different from the older Mario games. I prefer the old school games better, but this is still an excellent game. This is the first 3D Mario game I have played, and it is not bad. It is, however, different than the side scrolling games.
Many challenging levels, age appropriate even for my younger nieces and nephews, and lots of fun. I am an avid fan of the Mario series, and this game did not disappoint.
My only problem with the game is that you cannot change the camera angle to pan the world. This is the first mario game I have played since mario 3. I enjoy playing in the 3D world.
