Granted, that isn't a problem which immediately detracts from the quality of Galaxy, but it is a problem which will bother some of the grumpier gamers out there (like myself) and will probably be pointed out by some of the Xbox 360 and PS3 fanboys who populate the world.

I suppose this criticism comes down to my original bite-sized explanation of the game; that it is essentially just Super Mario 64 in space. That’s not bad, because both Mario 64 and Galaxy itself are great games, but it is illustrative of a wider issue. Shoving those wider issues aside for a moment though, Super Mario Galaxy is a game which belongs in the collection of any Wii gamer. It’s massive world is one which can be either fully explored, probed and completed, or skipped through when the difficulty curve gets too steep.

The new transformations and moves available to Mario are fun enough to keep the game feeling slightly fresh even if it isn’t really that much of a breakthrough and the levels themselves are complex and interesting enough to entertain anyone.
