Number 6: Mario Galaxy (Wii)
This game was a Mario game. Great platforming, cools powerups, variety of worlds, and BOWSER, messing your shit up.
This game is a solid edition to Nintendo’s titles on it’s counsel. The story is the same as every other Mario platforming game. Bowser’s kidnapped the princess again (silly bitch), and you have to rescue her. You’re off in space thanks to some convenient plot device (I don’t remember) and away you go.
Everything about this game artistically works. There worlds are colorful, cartoon, and vibrant. Goombas squish properly to make you satisfied, surfing on shells are cool, and flying around is just neat. The level well varied, are short.
This is one of the few 3d platformers that camera does a good job. The controls are also great, allowing you to use the Nunchuck for movement and buttons for auctions. There is some gimmick thrown in there, but nothing that ruines the game. I’ll mention another platformer that isn’t on the Top 10 (Nights: A Journy of Dreams) for good controls, which confuses me because a certain blue hedgehog can’t see to get the controls right (I can’t even blame Sonic Team as they made Nights).
They make the levels repayable due to Luigi and having to find hidden stars. Every time you visit a level it is different enough you don’t feel stuck doing the same things over (ie getting to the top of the hill again).
I didn’t bother playing the collect all the purple whateverthefucktheywere levels, because that isn’t why I purchased a Mario game. Luckily (or possibly by design) they are not ‘necessary’ until after the game. Nintendo, making 8 red coins to give you a star, fun. Redo a level so you need to collect 100 purple things, not fun.
My biggest issue with the game is that Bowser was too easy. I just destroyed him 1st go. I never destroy Bowser 1st go. It was sad. I mean the buildup was good, and his different ‘froms’ for lack of a better term, were all unique and good, but it was so ‘meh’ in difficulty.
Overall still a great game, you need to play it if you have a Wii, and it is one for the family. Nintendo knows how to deal with it’s plumber.
