I am avid and loyal fan base of Mario games since hey-days of Nintendo 8-bit console system in 1986, and it is nearly impossible for me to get bored with Mario game series in my lifetime. I purchased Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii on Tuesday, November 13rd.
My comment? What started as a slow and disorientating experience has quickly become one of my highly and favorite game released in more than a decade, or two. I have defeated the last stage of Bowser yesterday, my game play lasted 3 days or total of 15 hours, 40 minutes, from beginning to end with 61 stars.
I feel like a little kid with full of excitement, overload wow-factor and hyper blast-fun playing the game. The colorful artwork is all over Super Mario Bros 3 level atmosphere mixed with Super Mario 64 in 3D environment. The slick level design immediately makes me want to go back again to play. The main story formula is simply same in 20 years: Mario is on the way to rescue same Princess Peach, kidnapped by same evil Bowser in different place: space.
This game possibly become most influential in last 10 years from now, but I strongly believe Super Mario Galaxy to be top contender game of the year, 2007. If Mario is more recognize than President George W. Bush, the game [Galaxy] might be top-seller in seventh generation of video games.
Galaxy always makes me want to play more, to purse the completion of 120 stars. I feel very special myself playing with power.
