Super Mario Galaxy-Out Of This World!

User Rating: 9.5 | Super Mario Galaxy WII
Super Mario 64 took the world by storm, providing the first 3D Mario experience. The second has done the same thing! The game has incredible graphics, a horribly, yet satisfyingly addictive story line and great controls which set this game off to be one of the best 07 winter titles for the Wii.

Galaxy sees you once again trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser, but this time Bowser's gone a step up and got aliens to help him. Once capturing Peach's castle, Bowser's aliens take it to the centre of the universe, where they plan to create their own planet by taking places from other planets so Bowser can rule. Mario tries to rescue Peach, but Kamek the Magikoopa shoots him off into space. Saved by a mysterious woman called Rosalina, Mario starts his quest to collect the Grand Stars (giant Power Stars the power Rosalina's rocket house, the Comet Observatory) to gain enough power to restore the Comet Observatory to its former glory and then fly it to the centre of the universe to beat Bowser and save Peach.

Moving around with the Nunchuk is smooth and works well and Z to Ground Pound, using the Wii Remote to point and collect Star Bits (for buying special galaxies and shooting at enemies-of which there are a great deal), A to jump and double-jump, B to shoot Star Bits and + D-Pad to adjust the camera, although the camera follows you smoothly on it's own.

There are a ton of Galaxies that are unlocked with more Power Stars, and a few special galaxies that are unlocked by feeding "Hungry Lumas" with Star Bits that you find in the different levels. There is no major Multi-Player but a second player can jump in and use their pointer to collect Star Bits in the level and make Mario jump by pressing A whilst pointing at him. There is no Wi-Fi but, with a game like this, I can't think of a good idea that Nintendo could have added as a Wi-Fi game.
