Zero Punctuation: Super Mario Galaxy
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I want to play this Mario Galaxy with the horrible camera angle. Mine seems perfect, and you may wanna take the lead weights of your Wiimote as waggle isn't exactly a taxing exercise.
Another interesting comment, is how you explain all the different spin-offs in to Mario franchise, that involve the characters off Go-Karting, playing tennis, ramming pills in peoples mouths, but then later on explain that Mario does nothing different.

I've only done the first two worlds so far but I'm enjoying it quite a bit more then the last two 3D Mario games.
Well for the first time I find myself disagreeing about a Yahtzee review, weird that...
I thought that the whole gravity thing was the best part of the game, it gave a greater sense of freedom than a normal 3D platformer does and its fun to see if you can long jump right around a planet, and the camera was pretty much the best one any game has had in a long time, it never got stuck and was almost always in the best place to see the action.
I wouldn't disagree that a few bits of it felt a bit gimmicky but then again that describes a hell of a lot of games anyway (and I don't just mean Wii games). And yes, the boss fights were almost all terrible, especially the Bowser last ones.
Anyway, that's my irrelevant opinion cast out into the murky waters of the internet.

Lol yeah I was wondering where a comment about that was.MrKeroChan said:
Oh well. It's still a great review. Haven't had a chance to play the game though.
At least it's not a game trying to sell itself purely on it's gimmicks (I'm looking at you timeshift...) core gameplay THEN Gimmicks is the order and that's the way Super Mario Galaxy seems to have taken it... a few updates on the old Mario sixtyfour system but with same formula that saw sixtyfour through two incarnations on the sixtyfour and the DS.
NO NUMBERS... WOO
NO NUMBERS... WOO
lol yahtzee sounds hungover
anyways good review, this game has had a lot of rave reviews... tempts me now.
For me the best bit was bowser getting some off peach/daisy at the end of the review, poor mario never really wins. See we have to all realise that a princess isn't gonna go for a plumber on mushrooms...
