First of all, happy 1st anniversary to ya Super Mario Galaxy 2!

Secondly, Super Mario Galaxy is my second favorite game of all time, only behind Sonic and Knuckles. How is it that this game could make me smile any more than the first Galaxy? I don't know how this game managed to do this, or how it managed to provide so many more wonderful pieces of gameplay bliss. But here we are at number 2 with Super Mario Galaxy 2... a game that provides just as much (and even more) heartfelt gaming magic than its predecessor.

I mean... the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard, the colors, characters, and worlds provide some amazing playgrounds for Mario to play in, Yoshi delivers some fantastic gameplay additions, and this sequel continues what I love about this genre. It's so diverse and so surprising at every turn. One moment your riding down a looping slide and the next your handing from a bird, gliding above a jungle. This game defies a box that gamers love to put games in, and because of that its a game that always surprises and never dulls.

What is gaming? What defines a video game? Why is this branch entertainment so special? What makes our hobby so unique compared to others? If you want those questions answered, I think sitting down and playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 is something that provides those answers, and with style.

Pros:

  • Goregeous visuals that aren't just great for the Wii, but are a fantastic visual representation of the video game medium.
  • In my opinion, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has the best soundtrack I've heard in gaming. Simply incredible stuff.
  • Gameplay is pitch perfect. Wonderful, simply wonderful.
  • The level design, while in 3D, is streamlined to make the most of the designers ideas. It's 2D level design mentality in a 3D world. It doesn't get better than this.
  • What else is there to say? Graphics are amazing, the music is jaw dropping, the gameplay and level design are simply incredible. This game is the complete package. *Swoon*

Cons:

  • Lubba is a bit talkative.

Score: 10/10 (And believe me, I wouldn't give a perfect score to any game... this is a huge game in my 22 gaming career.)

No epicly large review to make trasharmdsister12 rage?
