I Like Super Mario Galaxy

I know. I'm a few years late.

With Skyward Sword being outside the range of possibility in any form until I know how much I need to spend on schooling (applications, primarily), I had to decide on a new game to really break my Wii in with. Then, a thought came to me. "Super Mario Galaxy, of course!" After checking out size and all, I decided to go for it.

This, to me, is a great example of how easily motion controls can be interlaced with standard controller game play. This game is pretty much everything good about the controls of the system, rolled into one. The game looks nice, plays well, and is fun to go through. My one complaint is that the controller makes far too much noise when I'm playing at three in the morning.

I loooove this game.

Personally, I didn't really like the Super Mario Galaxy games, and this is coming from someone who has played every platformer Nintendo has made featuring the famed Italian plumber. There were just far too many nuances about the game that irked me, especially the way it's designed so heavily around the formula of Super Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine, collect stars, save Peach = profit. I think after having played through that style of game for what, 13 years or so, it feels very OCD friendly. That isn't to say it's a bad game, it's just not really up my alley. I could go for a more traditional platformer which is why I really enjoyed Super Mario 3D Land, it's more like the old games, which I guess us adult gamers still love.
 
You can turn the controller volume down by pressing home and then pressing the wii remote settings thing.
 
Maybe I should have read the manual. Good to know.

@DSGamer64: I get what you're saying. I haven't played too much Mario throughout my life overall, so the game is pretty fun to me. I can really get into the whole gravity deal they use, too. It's pretty interesting.

Never played Galaxy nor Galaxy 2 either.
