Excellent review. I've never really felt like I've understood Super Mario Gakaxy before, but in your opening two paragraphs you set out clearly what to expect and how this game works. The rest of the review stands as a great example of how to describe platform gameplay in a way that is both easy to imagine and makes the game sound like a lot of fun. I also liked the way you analyse why the concept works rather than simply offering generic praise (this gave the review depth).

So yeah, I'm glad you wrote this. Definitely going to pick the game up this weekend.

Thanks! To answer the question you asked in my blog a while back, you can pick up SMG2 and not have to worry about catching up on much (as True did), but there's really no reason to skip the first one. It's just as brilliant.

You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

i'm replaying this game again after beating Mario Galaxy 2 and this review is fantastic.

you can't go wrong with both games, but i like the original a tad better just because its bit more epic and fighting Bowser is more fun and challenging.

I'll admit I was underwhelmed by Mario Galaxy 1, but you've really sold me on this.

Of course, you sold me on Alpha Protocol first, and I only have so much money...
