The Super Mario series has been big across the world and has exploded in terms of popularity and franchise. With a main game being released every so often on one of the main platform consoles it was well overdue for one to be released upon launch of Nintendos Wii system, but that did not happen. There were launch titles, but we had to wait a few more months for the next instalment to the series of games. The game that I am going to be reviewing is Super Mario Galaxy. I will be taking a look at how it has improved compared to its previous games and I will also be discussing some of the features as well as a rating at the end.
The graphics for this game have improved a lot and you can tell as soon as you start the game. The graphics look more defined and a lot sharper than what they used to be. It is very surprising considering that this was released for the Wii in which the console didnt have any major graphical improvements.
The gameplay in this game is excellent; you are introduced to a completely new style of playing with the Wiimote and with the new additions to the game and the huge map to explore you are sure not to go wrong with the game itself.
The storyline is not the best. It is fun yet slightly childish like most of the Mario games, but still it manages to keep you going and pushing forward through the game. The graphics and the gameplay really do make up for this downside to the game, but even still you will find yourself enjoying the story and game, no matter how childish it is.
Overall I give this game an 8/10. This game is a big improvement over the previous game on the GameCube. The overall experience is much better than previous titles, you can have fun with this game for hours on end. The game offers tons of replay value and you can expect to enjoy this game a lot more than any of the previous titles. Nintendo have taken a big step and finally produced a game which works in producing both a fun experience as well as an objective gameplay. I definitely recommend Super Mario Galaxy to you.
