BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

MARIO GALAXY

IGN http://wii.ign.com/articles/833/833298p1.html
9.5 Presentation
An unnecessary side-tale contrasts with a traditional story. Otherwise, very slick menus and production values, not to mention WiiConnect24 support and a coop mode.

9.5 Graphics
Outstanding on Wii. The first Wii title that looks like it's really pushing the console. Great art combines with great tech for stunning results. Runs in 480p and 16:9 widescreen.

10 Sound
Normally, we'd harp on the lackluster voice acting, but whatever -- the orchestrated music is so totally amazing that it obliterates any other aural shortcomings.

10 Gameplay
Mario 64 in space. Phenomenal platforming and a huge variety of galaxies to see and explore. Doesn't get any better.

9.5 Lasting Appeal
40-plus galaxies -- all vastly different and filled with unique challenges. 120 stars t collect. Plus, a two-player semi-coop mode. Send your accomplishments to friends over WiiConnect24.

9.7
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

GAMESPOT.. http://www.gamespot.com...ary;review
"The stellar presentation and fantastic level designs combine to make Super Mario Galaxy the Wii's game to beat and one of Mario's greatest adventures yet."

The Good

- Some of the best level designs of any 3D platformer
- Beautiful, colorful graphics
- Controls work just about flawlessly in nearly every situation
- Soundtrack is a delight
- Lots of stages and tons of stars to find and collect.

The Bad

- A couple of Mario's special suits can be frustrating to use
- Minimal amount of story doesn't tie everything together especially well.
