TaurusDec 11, 200710What an awesome, awesome game. A must-buy for all the Wii owners, and if you don't own a Wii, here's a great reason to buy one.

-
MarkR.Dec 11, 200710I got the same impression of "Hardcore Gamer Magazine". When I play this game I fell like a crafter had reachd its highest skill point. It is an awesome game, beautiful to look at, just great music and controls and fun all the way through. I highly recommend it.

RickyQ.Dec 1, 20079An amazing game which is somehow even more fun to play than Super Mario 64. It's too easy though.
-
-
BishmanDec 23, 200710Now Super Mario Galaxy is the true sequel to Mario 64. It does everything Mario 64 does but better. Not only is the art direction amazing, Nintendo raises the bar on what you think a platform game can do. And it is simply fun. When I'm playing, I have to laugh and smile because this game is just too fun.

JulianM.Dec 7, 200710Great overall game! I loved Mario 64 and this was just the substitute I needed! If you like Mario 64, pick this up! The use of the Wii Remote is also very fun. Great graphics. I reccommend you pick it up!

TomD.Dec 9, 200710I never give out 10's. This game is a ten and it is not a shooter like the four nominees at the VGA's. Pure bliss not a 3rd person shooter a platformer thru and thru. NES had Super Mario Bros. SNES Super Mario World N64 Super Mario 64 Gamecube had Sunshine sorry cube Wii has the defining game of this generation.

AxewhipeS.Jan 15, 200810Great game for a great system. This game combines both 3D & some 2D like gameplay and adds new items & new ways to play into the mix. You need this game if you have a Wii.
-
-
FGTJan 22, 200810Simply superb. The creativity and effort put into this game shows all the way through. Amazing how each world keeps throwing new awesome unexpected stuff at you.
-
-
ChrisC.Jan 5, 200810Utterly brilliant - a masterpiece. Definitely Nintendo's greatest work ever. With stunning graphics, beautiful artistic levels, controls that actually make sense and pure unlimited fun and challenge, Super Mario Galaxy is 2007's Game of the Year in my opinion. Everything we love about the Mario franchise and more.

EthanG.Feb 3, 20089Well I give it a 9 because it gets boring or confusing at times. Plus no one wants to be the star. But I disagree with the critics I hate it when I die!
-

JeddyB.Mar 14, 200810Perfection.

BrianUMar 25, 20089Very fun to play.

CaseyY.Mar 8, 20089The game is great fun but a bit easy. I feel old.

WilliamTMar 8, 20089A fantastic beast of a game that no Wii owner should be without. A certified platforming king.

jimmybApr 11, 200810This is an amazing game with enough varied and cleverly thought-out content to keep many gamers happy for a considerable amount of time.
-
-
FredericoF.Apr 13, 200810This game is just impressive how it had to be. We have to be happy that we are living this year to play it at its release, because in 10 years we will be calling it of a classic that anybody will NEVER forget.
-
-
JeremiahO.Apr 18, 200810Great game, could not put down the Wiimote. Not the greatest 2nd player setup but the GF enjoyed helping me find stars and what not. Now that it's been a few months I might go back and play it through with Luigi on my new 42" plasma.
-
-
BowserK.May 11, 200810This game is awesome on so many levels, it's not even funny! Those who are saying "It's not that great", and especially those who are trying to claim that it sucks, have no idea what they're talking about.
-
-
JoshS.May 23, 200810Loved the game. It was amazing and I really couldn't see anything wrong with it except the change in control when you go upside down and stuff.

SpenserW.May 9, 200810Simply put, this is the greatest game to come out in 2007. It has great graphics, an amazing new twist on the platforming genre, and a musical score that will judge all Nintendo games from this point on. A phenomenal game in every respect, and the only one that I have consistently gone back to play after I have beaten it.
-
-
MattDa.Jun 1, 200810Amazing well designed and totally enjoyable from start to finish. It mat fairly simple to get to 60 stars but to complete it to 120 stars will test anyone, yet even at it's difficulties it's still hugely enjoyable.
-
-
BrandonH.Jun 10, 20089This game has a great blend of excitement and action. Any Nintendo gamer will love this game. I know I do.

mohaklOct 29, 20099Most 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.

OceanManJul 9, 200910Everything about the game is amazing. The gameplay, sound, graphics, etc. It still has no match for Super Mario 64, but might be better than Super Mario Sunshine. It is the most epic experience in any Mario game and has a lot of elements from Mario 64 such as gameplay and some of the songs from Mario 64 have orchestrated versions on Galaxy.

BrianA.Nov 12, 200710By far the best Wii game, and likely the best game this year. It's so fresh, so fun, and so beautiful looking - a truly shinning star to show off the Wii.
-
-
KenD.Nov 13, 200710This is a game I've been waiting for for over 10 years and it more than lives up to the hype and anticipation.
-
-
EricM.Nov 13, 200710Truly remarkable. The inventiveness in each and every level is just stunning. It's just a great breath of fresh air in a holiday season crammed with shooters. It's certainly the best Wii game in my opinion, and shows just what this system is capable of.

JacobNov 14, 200710Wow, this game is so fun. I really love it. On some levels you have music from SMB 3 that makes you feel really nostalgic. The controls are great and the grapics too and what can I say? The best game I ever played I think.
-
-
AaronNov 14, 200710Easily the best game out on the Wii and likely to retain the title until Smash Bros or Mario Kart Wii come out. Fun, exciting, easy to follow, great graphics, wonderful soundtrack, the controls are unbelievable. Get the game now because it will be one that people will be talking about and comparing to for the rest of the Wii's existence.
-
-
MaxP.Nov 14, 200710Passes every litmus test for excellence on the books. Slights on perceived flaws is like faulting Citizen Kane for leaving an unnecessary scene on the cutting room floor. Unequivocably fantastic, and, along with iconic entries like Zelda and Tetris, contender for best game... of all time.
-
-
TPNov 14, 200710Pure Joy. Demonstrates how Powerful Gaming can be.
-

MattR.Nov 14, 200710This game is the ultimate in fun. It is fun just doing the most mundane tasks in this game. Fun= great game.
-
-
DougC.Nov 14, 200710Nintendo's finest work since Ocarina of Time, in fact the industries most polish brilliance in almost a decade. Keep up the good work Nintendo.
-
-
JacobN.Nov 14, 200710This game is downright amazing! I ws hoping for something like Mario 64 and this has more than raised the bar. Even more fun than Twilight Princess Wii has done it again! 2007 Game of the Year.
-
-
S.eaNov 14, 200710Super Mario Galaxy is easily the best game on the Wii and is the most fun I've had on the console so far. Gameplay-wise it trumps Super Mario 64, which is an incredible feat. The creativity in level design is absolutely incredible, and the incredibly responsive controls make it a dream to play. Absolutely necessary, and worth buying a Wii for.
-
-
AndrewG.Nov 15, 200710This game is probably the finest example of how a platformer should be like. The graphics are easily comparable to some games on the Ps3 and Xbox360, and the controls and little innovations are great. 10/10

-
-
BrockJ.Nov 15, 200710The BEST Mario game that I have ever played, bar none. Smooth controls, great storyline, awesome side galaxies, great music.... EVERYTHING! If you are a fan of Mario, Nintendo or video games.... pick this game up.
-
-
EricNov 15, 200710Galaxy is one of the first games in years to recapture the magic of gaming. Soaring through space, you feel as giddy as Mario sounds. Games like this show us that you don't need a submachine gun or the ability to hijack cars in order to enjoy yourself immensely.

JasonNov 15, 20079I'm only one level into the game, but it is very fun. I was very impressed by the use of the Wii controls and the gameplay innovations will literally put a smile to your face with their genious. the game isn't perfect so far, and I'd say it is a little overrated, but I only have 4 stars (lol) and I know this game can only get better. Must own for the Wii.

RyanW.Nov 17, 200710If you want to know what all the fuss is about, in a nutshell: SMG is a Mario game that 1) features the most creative and fresh-feeling gameplay of any Mario game to date, 2) features the best controls of any Mario game to date, and 3) delivers a nostalgic throwback to every Mario game to date.

KevinNov 18, 200710This game is really amazing. It is truly one of the best games I have ever played, and it blows 64 and Sunshine away. It's tied with SMW for best Mario game if you ask me, and definitely one of the best games ever made. I thought BioShock had Game of the Year in it's hands, but no, this is DEFINITELY the best game of 2007, and perhaps the best game of all time.

JamesF.Nov 18, 200710Not just the best game on the Wii, one of the best games ever made, just amazing.

WaelA.Nov 18, 200710After 25 years of hardcore gaming experience I stand confused about which is the best game i've ever played; Super Mario Galaxy or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/ Twilight Princess. And that's saying alot. Absolutely Perfect Game 10/10

JohnM.Nov 21, 200710What more can you ask for? A unique experience, a new way to play, and it's Mario. Mario. That's all you need to make a game good. Mario. And when he's on a platformer, an even more awesome one like this, ya. Love the gravity and spherical platforms AKA planets. So, ya, it's Nintendo. Nintendo and Mario, and you know it's a good game.
-
-
DesmondH.Nov 21, 200710Best Wii game out. Also, it dosn't copy R&C because of the round level or in every way ( not even close to every way). The game isn't just good because Mario is the main character either.
-
-
JohnB.Nov 20, 20079The lacklustre story line stops it from being one of the best games ever. The graphics are sublime and the fluid motions and the duration of the game make this a must-buy title.
-
-
DustinM.Nov 20, 200710Brilliantly designed and executed.
-
-
MJNov 20, 200710Simply Brilliant. Listing the vitues of this game would take pages. Simply said, it is a masterpiece. In my opinion, the best game Nintendo has ever produced- and dare I say it- my personal candidate for the best game of all time.
-

WayneW.Nov 20, 20079Great game. Quality title. But it's just TOO damn easy! Even the hard stuff is easy!
-

MikeB.Nov 20, 200710The reviews are right on. There is nothing to not love. Even the tough camera at times is acceptable based on the amazing graphics, and gameplay. This is a must buy!

GregW.Nov 21, 200710Miyamoto once again proves that gameplay is king. This game is fun in its purest form, players will experience a truly magical feeling that is rarely felt in gaming.
-
-
EttörillöB.Nov 20, 200710Absolutly perfect game!!! I've finished it today ... not with the 121 star (thanx god, cuzz i'd like it were eternal) and i believe it is one of the 'prettiest' games i've ever played( & i'm a 5 gen player). Visuals, controls, scene design & the unbeliaveble music makes this game one of those you will remember for the rest of your life.
-

BryanS.Nov 20, 200710Everything about this game is a wonder to behold! Visuals are stunning, soundtrack is beautiful, controls are fluid and its very accessible to gamers young and old.

GhostReviewerNov 26, 200710Simply put, this is the best wii game released so far. The challenge is satisfying, the music is addictive, and the graphics and art style are beautiful. The Gameplay, however, is the real highlight of the game. They are without a doubt the most responsive controls of the system. They feel natural but not overused or gimicky. Super Mario Galaxy is definately a contender for game of the year.
-
-
MatthewM.Nov 27, 200710A truly amazing game, loved every second of it! If you have a Wii, get this game NOW! the graphich are amazing, and the gameplay follows suit,not to mention one of the MOST addicting game I have ever played. BUY IT NOW!

-
-
DonC.Nov 27, 200710Most innovative and original Mario to date. Drop your Halo 3 paddles and try out this real game, find out why the hype for other games is just stupid and also why graphics don't matter.
-
-
MoP.Nov 27, 200710Having played hundreds of games in the last 30 years of gaming, starting with pong. I can honestly say this has been the most fun. Even cured my jaded middle aged palate. Thank god for Nintendo.
-
-
ClintonB.Nov 29, 200710This game might just be better than Super Mario Bros. 3 which I previously though at the best game ever made. The new "suit varieties and amazing level design bring this game back to the same standard that Mario 3 set for video games in general.
-
-
DanielR.Nov 29, 200710This is the best game ever, even better than Super Mario 64. Graphical perfection. Musical perfection. Gameplay perfection. Lasting perfection. Overall perfection. God.
-
-
100It's rare to play through a perfect game or one that nears perfection, but Galaxy definitely fits that mold.
-
90Nintendo 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]
-
95Galaxy 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.
