Super Mario Galaxy 2

How do Nintendo do it Super Mario Galaxy is still one of the best games on the Wii and along comes Super Mario Galaxy 2 which improves on it in every way. This is the first 3D Mario game to give us a map like in New Super Mario Bros Wii and was first used in Super Mario Bros 3 on the good old NES. We can ride Yoshi at last in a 3D Mario and it's fantastic fun with his long tongue gripping onto stuff as you jump or fly your way around the levels. The graphics look stunning and the Wii controls are just a great as the first game. Mario has some new moves such as being a drill where you can mine straight through any soft surface. Cloud Mario and Rock Mario are two more great costumes for our plumber hero. It doesn't have the same impact as the first Mario Galaxy and it's a bit harder too but, then again it was Super Mario 64 that had the biggest impact out of the 3D Marios because it did it first. For me this is the best Mario game yet and it's hard to see how Nintendo can do anything… more »

For me this is the best Mario game yet and it's hard to see how Nintendo can do anything better but I expect they will because they always find new fresh ways to keep Mario the king of platformers.

When so many people have sang its praises? But I will just in case you havn't got the message yet so there. Astoundingly amazing, this game manages to be even better than it predecessor. A new ability or twist is introduced in almost every level from start to finish its just jam packed with new features. It looks pretty much the same, with the same storyline and goal as the first so my only negative comment would be that it doesnt have quite the same impact as the first. But when the first game was so close to perfection they couldnt do much more to perfect it, but of course Nintendo managed it. If you are wondering which game to get, get both, really they are that essential and you can find the first one for a bargain, often about a tenner.

They have also improved on the co-op mode so whilst player 2 is not actually a proper character they can kill enemies and collect coins as well as starbits. Even the fact that player 2's cursor has a cute little orange star running after it makes player 2 feel more immersed and involved, great for the little 'uns who wont be able to play it properly. The game also features hint tvs and a cosmic guide to help younger players or inexperienced gamers along, a real Nintendo motto at the minute making games more accessible to everyone which I love. Enough blathering, get on with it and order a copy!
