I posted this mini-review in the other thread. Can't wait to get my copy soon!
Super Mario Galaxy Hands On:
Gameplay: Tons of fun platforming action. Brought me back to the old days... I venture to say that this one is going to be more fun than Super Mario 64 (yeah, I said it.)
Graphics: One of the cleanest looking Wii games I've seen so far. The graphics were crisp, sharp, and overall very good.
Physics:ed making me feel very disoriented ( that's a good thing
) and really blew my mind. One of my favorite parts of the experience. I was moving my body with the game and felt totally immersed.
Controls: As mentioned above - the wii controls are very unobtrusive and seem very comfortable.
We cast this message into the cosmos . . . Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some - - perhaps many - - may have inhabited planet and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.
How beautiful is fruit still in denial of it's roots? My guilty heart behaves so foolishly/This treason from within that reasons with my sins, won't be happy 'til it sees the death of me/Selfishly depicted to a life that I've depicted, conflicted 'cause it's not reality/Oh what's left of me? I beg you desperately/Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me/Please save me from myself/I need You to save me from myself/Please save me from myself so I can heal/The choices that Ive made/Oh have been nothing but mistakes/What a wasted use of space/Should I die before I wake?/In all of my religion/I've fortified this prison/Obligated to obey/The demands of bad decisions
This game is amazing. Nothing but good reviews. I played it for 2 hours straight in the mall and was impressed with everything. The physics of the game are astounding. I can honestly spend all day "orbiting" the various objects in the level. Seriously, has there ever been a game to include this amount of gravity driven gameplay?
Maybe ratech and clank, theres a few levels where you have to walk upside down and what not, but honestly, what other game can you jump off of a tower and land upside down on the other side of the level?
Mario Galaxy may be one of the greatest platformers of all time. I hope that Donkey Kong comes out this good on on Wii. It seems that all of the 3D - platforner games missed the ball on gamecube. Nintendo platformers are back.
There's a video review there - shows a ton of gameplay and I must say, it looks amazing... I really wish I had a wii just to play this game, i was a hugeMario fan - especially mario 64, which this looks A LOT like to me.
Sadly I don't think I'll be able to get it anytime soon - but enjoy guys.
I picked it up last night. This game is so unbelievably fun to play you have no idea. I only played for like an hour, but it was def the most fun I'vehad with any Wii game so far. Like other people have said, the way the game takes gravity into account is really remarkable. I was almost getting dizzyrunning around upside down around the planets
. I can'twait to get into this game and see what else you can do. Just gotta beat RE4 before that or I won't ever play it again.
