Strengths: Music, visuals

Weaknesses: Too easy

Summary: I enjoyed previous Mario games but this one didn't really do it for me. The presentation is fantastic with a wonderful soundtrack and beautitul visuals, and the game is polished like no other, but the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired. The platforming in this game is nearly all super simple and super easy. It really lacks a challenge. Super Mario Sunshine for Gamecube, while a very flawed game, at least had the special levels where they took away your water pack. Those levels were pure, concentrated platforming, and they were pretty tough. Galaxy only has a few moments like those and the rest is too simple for my tastes. I'm apparently in the vast minority with my opinion on this game though, so if you've liked previous Mario platformers, you'll probably love this one.

Strengths: Stellar platforming

Weaknesses: Too restrictive with new costumes

Summary: Mario Galaxy is the Mario game everyone has been waiting for. For some, it will be the best Mario game in 10 years (Mario 64). For others, the best in 20 years (SMB3). For others, the best ever. While I haven't yet made up my mind, no platforming or Mario fan should pass this game up. Combining brilliant platforming with 3D spherical worlds, you have a new twist on an old genre, complete with new costumes for special abilities - that are unfortunately only available in prescribed locations. No whipping out your Bee suit on the last level of the game.

Strengths: Very fun classic Mario gameplay

Weaknesses: Camera can be a little awkward

Summary: Mario Galaxy is the next game in the famous Mario series, one of the best out there. Mario Galaxy takes the next step in platformer gaming, as it takes place is space on spherical worlds. This is a very unique idea and Nintendo pulled it off greatly. Nintendo did just a marvelous job on this game, and the only real fault is that the camera can sometimes be a little annoying, but for the most part, it works well enough. Overall I can't stress how much Nintendo did a great job on this game and I recommend it to everyone!
