"BEST EVER"
5 stars"

This game has to be the BEST wii game ever released. The graphics are stunning and the music is wonderful :)

Just as I thought that this would be a un-entertaining sequel to the now 2nd best Wii game ever, It completely blew me away.

And to answer some of your guys questions, Yes it definately is worth buying and you will love it forever and NEVER get sick of it.

The epitomy of gaming. A Must Have For All Wii Owners :)

"Best Wii Game Ever."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is amazing. Games just don't get any better than this. If you enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy 1, you will LOVE this game. I only just started it but I'm already hooked. If you call yourself a wii owner you simply can't walk past this game!!!

"Astronomical Awesomeness"
5 stars"

Becasue everyone has already mentioned why this game is the best game on Wii and perhaps one of the top games of all time, Ill firstly start off with the ‘downs’

It's not quite perfect 5, but 4 would be too low. The reason is that the controls can sometimes be a point of frustration. Example: Getting spring Mario to jump at maximum needs the A button pressed at the right time and it's hard to judge. 1/2 an hour later I managed to get through. Also, controlling yoshi while on chilly pepper took me ages to get used too, again stuck for over an hour on one level. Lastly, using the Wii-mote to fly Mario is also frustratingly annoying. That brings me onto the other aspect, it's not as easy as it looks. I'm no games novice. Sometimes I wished it was easier.

This game is trully fantastic in every way imaginable, It is. The game play gets your heart racing and holding your breath in. Its addictive and the challange (albeit difficult at times) is unique and very rewarding. Graphics, creativity, art, and the fully orchestrated music by the Mario Galaxy Orchestra are worth the game alone. The overall quality that has been but into creating this is unprecedented.

It's a steal at this price.

If you're 9 or 29 you must play this game.

"Addictive!!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

How amazing to have a sequel to a great game be even more enjoyable!! The graphics are excellent and has improved from the first. The levels and gameplay have enough puzzles and challenges to keep everyone addicted for a while. The inclusion of Rosalina, who can help you finish a level if stuck, means that younger ones can still have a go and complete a level, making it a much more more inclusive family game. Player two also has more abilities to help out, collecting coins and killing baddies, and it is great bonding and team work, helping each other out. Highly recommended!!

"Great but… "

I loved the first SMG and loved every moment of this also but I would have liked to have seen just a little more work from the developers in certain areas. Loading screens, menus, menu music etc etc etc – All unchanged from the first SMG. You just feel a little ripped off when so much of the game has been carried from the first one and the price is still the same. The story line (what there is of it) is new but in many games SMG 2 felt like an expansion.

Nevertheless it truly is a great game. Clean GFX and most importantly great gameplay. If you enjoyed the first SMG then get this – it is more of the same but with Yoshi! That is one addition that makes any other qualms go away immediately. If you didnt play SMG (why oh why!!!) then grab this game (and its predecessor) immediately. If you own a wii you owe it to yourself.

"Still good but more of the same."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Whilst it doesn't quite give the same awesome feeling as the original because it is a sequel, it still manages to impress. At first the controls feel a bit sluggish but that may have been because I haven't played the first in over a year or so.

Clever level ideas and humorous use of popular memes add a level of charm, I'm still undecided as to whether the levels and ideas are fresh enough though.

Difficulty feels like it has stepped up a smidgeon but it can also be a bit frustrating to hit something that would normally only take a hit point off to be flung into an abyss.

"Superb!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have only played this game once but so far it has exceeded my expectations. It is evident that the graphics, story-line, sound effects and controls have been well thought out and integrated to form a delightful package suited for all ages. Only a few moments playing this game will cause you to see that a tremendous amount of effort has been applied by the developers and producers. There are very few games like this in our day and age (e.g. Without swearing and excessive violence). It is certainly a game that would complement any Wii game collection and bring a smile to your face.

"Best game ever on Wii"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was immediately addictive, all though its challenging, its easy to understand the story line and once you get the hang of all the moves and jumps you become really involved in the game. I found that it also helped teach you valuable moves for other wii games and helped new players become skillful on the wii remote. The graphics are also of high quality and each new planet in the game is different and interesting. Overall it is the best game i've ever played on the wii and suitable for any age and gender.

"One of the best Wii games to date!"

"Highly Imaginitive Layouts"

This absaloutly is a must have. There is so much skill that is needed to complete the entire game. Honestly and I thought 242 stars was going to be an easy job to collect.

"Good addition"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This feels pretty much the same as the first Galaxy game with the most awated Yoshy addition, he plays brilliantly and we have arsenal of a few new moves too. The addtion of giving the second player a actual character is awesome too, makes the game a bit easy but great fun for parent and child to enjoy the game together.

"Simply Amazing"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The orignal Super Mario Galaxy was one the finest gaming Achivements in gaming history when I heard that a sequel was coming I thought the orignal Super Mario Galaxy was just too hard to beat, but boy was I wrong, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not only superior but received numerous perfect scores from critics and if that isn't enough the average score is 97/100 according to Metacritc. The game has stunning gameplay,phenomenal graphics and plenty of levels to keep you playing.

"Pure platform fun that twists the rules of gravity and physics"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is awesome. That pretty much sums up this game. Why is it so awesome? Well the graphics are some of the most polished I've ever seen on any Wii game, The soundtrack is fully orchestrated and sounds great (and is presented in Dolby Pro-Logic 2) but what really puts this game in the stratosphere is the game play. A lot of thought has been put into every ounce of gaming here and no level is wasted. Divided into themed universes there's heaps of variety from a ghost themed world to a candy land world to an oversized world. The basic idea is to get from the start of a level to the end winning yourself a “star” in the process. To get there you will have to endure mind altering gravity fluxes and disappearing ghost worlds. Along the way you will find power up suits such as a bee Mario suit, a ghost Mario suit and a cloud Mario suit and also Yoshi is there to help you out. All in all the huge variety and thought put in to game play and the highly polished visuals and audio are what make this awesome. Highly recommended addition to your Wii library.

"Have a Wii? Buy this game."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It really is that simple, if you own a Wii, or want an excuse to buy one – this is the game to get. Amazing level design, quirky and interesting boss fights, great music and sound effects and gorgeous visuals (even for the Wii!) It is a true game – story and narrative go by the wayside to make way for the fantastic gameplay. So far I have collected 90 stars and defeated the final boss, but I am going back in for more to unlock the extra worlds and try my skill at all the extra stars. Loved every minute of it.

if you are like me and couldnt get enough of the first super mario galaxy(SMG) then this is a MUST buy. there are more characters and once you collect a certain amount of stars you get to play as luigi on some stages,theres awesome suits like the drill and rock suit the cloud flower just to name a few. yoshi is so cute and easy to control. in ways this game reminds me of the super mario brothers DS game as you go along to different worlds and alot of characters from that game too are in this one. all round tho this game is so much fun, i love it and if you dont own the 1st “SMG” then get it, play it and then get this one..you'll be addicted in no time :-)
