After starting the game up, i became ecstatic because it reminded me of how fun Mario 64 was. The same moves, controls, everything - it all works perfectly. The wii's motion sensing is spot on, and never feels forced. Unlike ports, which try to add wii motion, Mario Galaxy was made for the Wii, and the use of the wiimote is perfect. All your favorite jumps are there and are as fun as ever, while a new way of bashing enemies in the form of a knuckle spin has been added. Firing off star bits to topple enemies is also hell of a lot of fun.

The next thing? GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS. The creation of Super Mario Galaxy has proven that the Wii can make beautiful worlds come to life, with bloom effects, light reflection, and smooth gameplay that never slows. The ability to play on spherical worlds is insanely different, and I love it. This is easily the best looking game for the wii to date.

The only "bad thing" about the game is the story line. Of course, as with all mario games, there has never BEEN a story line, and that is fine. I would have liked to play the game and know that I was playing for a reason. Of course, the reason to play is because this game is ridiculously fun. I just wish that the story could have supplemented the gameplay in a way to make you WANT to finish a level to be able to continue the story line.

In the end, if you loved mario 64 and want the best looking game for the wii to date, you can NOT pass this by.
