I have only recently returned to consoles, tempted by my wife's Wii this Christmas. In the past NINTENDO has made a number of bad decisions yet the company always manages to land on its feet for nothing else but for a single reason: it never forgets that gamers want first to have fun. And SUPER MARIO GALAXY II is an excellent example.

The Wii console may have been made such a huge success story by applications such as Wii-FIT, but it will be remembered for the fun it offers with games such as this one. SUPER MARIO GALAXY II makes the Wii shine at its best.

Princess Peach cannot seem to stay ...un-kidnapped more than a week, so her faithful plumber has to move heaven and earth to save her - yet again...But do we really need an excuse to dive in this galaxy of magic mushrooms, star-bits and coins, secret levels and surprising solutions to, apparently, insurmountable obstacles?

The levels blend beautifully 2D and 3D environments and the controls work superbly. I hadn't touched a console since my University years and had to get used to the controls of ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS - yet found the controls of SUPER MARIO GALAXY II to fit like a glove from the very first moment.

This installment is not one you can breeze through, there are challenging moments. If you get stuck in a level you can ask for a mini-tutorial - but keep in mind that there is no free lunch in this galaxy: your need for assistance will be marked. Then again, retrying a level was never more fun.

There is invincible Rainbow-Mario, Rock-Mario, Spring-Mario and Cloud-Mario. And then there are Lumas and Yoshi. Every world has been imaginatively designed and gorgeously drawn. It is like a supernova of creativity exploding again and again. I believe this to be the best looking game on the Wii.

And it is THE BEST PLATFORM GAME EVER!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

If you played the original Super Mario Galaxy, then you likely won't need any convincing in trying this sequel. If you haven't, don't worry about missing out on some sort of background story--it's a Mario game, the story is one sentence long--Bowser kidnapped the princess, and it's Mario to the rescue (sorry for the spoiler). But boy is the game-play fun; my first play session with this game was 1 hour and 24 minutes long; it felt like a breeze, and I only stopped because I had to. The controls are as spot on as ever; if you haven't played the original, it might take you some time to get used to them; but if you put in the time you will be rewarded with the best platforming game, bar none; and if you did play the first Mario Galaxy, within minutes you will feel as comfortable with the controls as you've ever been. The levels are completely original, not recycled material, the galaxy map is streamlined, easier to navigate than the world-hub in the original. I've just finished the first world (sort of, there's some secret stuff I'm missing); I'll update this review as I proceed; I didn't quit on the original until I got 120 stars with both Mario and Luigi. I'll do the same with this. Whether you are a youngster or an adult gamer, you should try and play this excellent game (BTW, it's metacritic average review score is 98%, making it the second best reviewed game after Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (available as a downloadable game on the Wii, and bettering the now third place spot for the original Super Mario Galaxy). Thank you Nintendo!

Les graphiques sont superbes. Le niveau de difficulté du jeux est assez élevé pour apporter un certain challenge sans être trop difficile pour nous décourager. Le jeux est en 2 volets (la collecte des étoiles dorées et des étoiles vertes) ce qui rallonge le temps de jeux de façon considérable (nous en avons pour notre argent). Ceux qui ont aimé Super Mario Galaxy 1, seront agréablement surpris par le deuxième jeux.

I kind of liked the storyline better on the first Galaxy game but I love the second. All the abilities you can get and the yoshi's make this game awesome. I like the layout of the entire thing much better since you can access all the levels in one area.
Unfortunately the multiplayer is still pretty much the same except I think player 2 can now stun as well, but I would like to see an actual multiplayer mode. But still definitely worth it!

Overall 5/5 stars, much more fun than the first!

Vous trouverez des heures de plaisir seul ou en groupe à jouer ce jeu! Excellent pour créer un esprit de famille!

It was enjoyed by all 7 of my nieces and nephews. It is an added bonus of 2 players at once.

finding out whether or not to buy this game is simple:

ask yourself:

1)do you like mario?

2)do you have a Wii?

if you answered yes to both of them you should go ahead and make the purchase, you wont regret it.

What can i say this game is really hard, people who say its easy or the ones that struggled a bit are experience and expert gamers, this game frustrated me a lot more then i had fun playing with it.

Rent the game and see before buying because the later levels are really hard. This game is not worth the rating its getting believe me.
