Is Super Mario Galaxy 2 really the best Nintendo game ever?

Report after report is hailing this new Nintendo Wii game as one of the most quintessential video games of all time.  Several video game review sites even went as far as rating it 10/10.  What’s the best way to judge a new video game?  Go out pick up a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2.  Amazon.com is selling new copies about $49.99.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 came out this week, so unfortunately we haven’t had enough to to sit and digest the whole thing (or beat the game), but here is what we have been hearing.

Graphics

Most people know that if they are looking for the best graphics the Nintendo Wii is not the gaming system for them.  However, for Super Mario Galaxy 2, we have heard that these graphics are some of the best out of any Nintendo Wii game.  Vivid bright colors, that engage the player, rather than the box figures we are all used in the beloved Wii Sports Games.

Controls

While the controls have not totally been revamped from the original Super Mario Galaxy, the programmers and developers have managed to make this game a new unique experience with smooth controls.  The Wiimote has never been so accurately sensitive.  This is a must try for any Nintendo Wii fan out there.

Gameplay

Ok, so the graphics and the controls are cool, how is the actual game?  There are several levels, aka “Galaxies,” that you have the ability to travel across.  Similar to the original game, each galaxy has its own feel with its own attributes.  As you travel from galaxy to galaxy, you have the ability to peer off into the distance and see what the next upcoming challenge may be.  Is it a moon?  Is it a monstrosity?  Only one way to find out, beat the galaxy and keep on moving!

Overall score?

We like to leave that up to the individual players.  Let us know your thoughts and feelings on Super Mario Galaxy 2.  We will continue to post updates and reviews that we think are worthwhile (including Super Mario Galaxy Easter eggs, and tips).  If you want to learn more, go out and buy a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and find out for yourself!
