haha, that's great rami.

This game looks terrific. i might actually get a wii and try it. I also really want to try out the metroid for wii as well, and wii sports is a game that's fun to play with friends, so... most likely I will.

Galaxy is currently the highest rated game on game rankings. Note how the top 3 rated games are all by Nintendo.
Galaxy, Zelda:Oot, and Metroid Prime. So basically, you can expect Nintendo to always come up with the best game every generation!

Grave Spirit was released on July 11, 2006.

I saw someone playing the game and one thing I didn't like was that there wasn't a central "world map" like the castle on Mario 64.

Well yes and no. There's the observatory, but it's not much to explore. Anyways, I beat the game today and I have 110 stars at the moment. Probably gonna get the last 10 tomorrow.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

I hated the castle in Mario 64. I'm glad they're trying a new approach.

yeah I have a Wii back home and I'm really pumped to get this. I know what I want for christmas.

edit: like, holy shit it's beating Oot on gamerankings right now which is pretty ridiculous! That game has been number one for a long time now so I'm definitely down for getting any game that manages to beat it. I know it's still early so it could go down (I think Twilight Princess was beating it for like a day or two) but it has almost as many reviews so yeah I'm really pumped to get this.

I've not played it much (I only have about 17-20 stars), but so far, it's pretty good.
Like DS said though, it is a little easy.
The only part which I have had to go over more than once is the ray surfing, but that was mainly because I forgot to slow down on corners as the best time was 1:30.
Visually, galaxy is pretty good and it retains some styling from Mario 64 (though more detailed, obviously).
Yet again, Mario is out with another woman, but this one has been alone for a long time, so Mario is in for a fun time :P

So I completed the game with all 120 stars, and I must say I am speechless.

This game freaking delivers. Tons of variety with gameplay, abilities, and environments, as opposed to the tropical theme being beaten to death in Sunshine. The game's difficulty curve also stays at where it should be. The game starts mind-numblingly simple with basic tutorial missions and small bosses, then it picks up with more elaborate stages and missions, all leading up to the hair-ripping insanity of the purple coin missions around the end. My only gripe is that the stages seemed a tad linear as opposed to the large worlds you could openly explore in both 64 and Sunshine. Not a big deal, really.

Now then, for the juicy bits:

I am SO happy Nintendo listened to the x-amount of fans who wanted Luigi playable. I really feel like Luigi is a suitable reward for all the effort put into the game [along with the nifty cutscene involving Princess Rosalina and the Luma Mario kept safe in his cap]. Considering Luigi starts off on the Gate where Mario started, a whole new "alternate file" is given to you from the profile screen. Luigi is given the same task Mario was, to find all the Grand Stars and Power Stars, and rescue the princess. Luigi, in terms of control, is a lot tougher. Typical to Luigi tradition, he jumps really, REALLY high and has poor traction. The way Luigi walks on land, is the same way Mario would walk on ice, so I'm pretty much dreading the Freezeflame Galaxy.

Shit. My last class before Thanksgiving break is this Wednesday. I'm taking the 1:40 train home from Chicago, going to the nearest game store and buying a copy of SMG, grabbing my wii from my house, going to my girlfriends and playing it with her all day long (she loves Mario games).

I'm so excited.

Must be a lot of bias reviews. Because across the board reviews for Galaxy have been great.

Some site said it was shite 'cause it didn't have a good storyline, the Wiimote and nunchuck are too hard to use and it doesn't look as good as Ratchet and Clank. According to the comments left under the review, it was sponsored by Sony. Hah! Maybe they were just fanboys though. Either way, the review's a funny read.

Well actually, according to the advertisement immediately preceding the review.

Man, this is so hillarious and I feel sort of bad for the career of a journalist who is obviously writing bad reviews for an outfit that is paid by the competition.

As brilliant as “Super Mario Galaxy” is, in fact, it’s one of the worst two-player experiences ever seen in a videogame.

Haha, what? I played 2-player with my friend and it was pretty fun. Wasting all his stars and making him jump at the wrong moments; priceless. This guy is so biased it's not even funny. Or I guess, Sony is.

Man, this game is fucking awesome. I just got it yesterday and I only have 34 stars, but I am still blown away. I do think it is too easy though. The only level I had trouble with so far was Ray Surfing, but everything else has been easy.
But besides that, the game is pretty fun, and I'd say this is the best game for the Wii right now.

This game is fucking ridiculous. I have not had this much fun playing a game in at least three years.

This. This game is incredible. I'm having so much FUN playing this game. I love it.

Game of the year for me. Followed closely by Metroid.
