Super Mario Galaxy
I got this game yesterday and I've clocked around nine hours on it at the moment. To say this game is awesome is an understatement. This game is, simply put, one of the best games of all time and this shows in the reviews.
Every single second of the game is different and unique and you'll never put the game down (unless you come onto a forum to tell people how good a certain game is).
So - who's getting it? Got it? Thoughts?

That's likely to happen... never.
I'm not a big fan of Nintendo as a business, but their games are usually second to none, and this is no exception. I've clocked up about 6 hours on it today, and I've only got around 21 Stars.
Massive improvement on Sunshine, especially in terms of variety. The graphics are amazing, definitely comparable with anything on the PS3 or 360. I wish it had a more interesting level hub with more secrets, like Mario 64's, but the actual levels more than make up for it.
I need to get a life...
We need more games like Maz-Gal (that's my nickname for Mario Galaxy, seeing as I've confused everyone on MSN by calling it that). Games that try to be fun over anything else.
I'm sick of shooting terrorists in grey urban settings, and blowing up alien grunts in large plain fields, and I don't want to have to go home at the end of the day, and play a video game about the same thing :P
Maz-Gal's fun, imaginative, has more variety in one level then most games do in their entirety, and isn't afraid to be colourful and childish. Anyone who could turn their nose up at the game for being too "kiddy" for them is either at that age where they're still a kid themselves but is trying too hard to be grown-up, or just doesn't have a heart.
I agree. Though Zack & Wiki is too cartoony and animey in my opinion. Mario Galaxy is just about right.
(I don't suggest uncovering the final spoiler box if you've kept your ears shut from spoilers - it's a big one!)
This. I'm under the impression most people who hate brilliant games for being too childish are themselves between the ages of twelve and fifteen, screaming at their mothers for blocking the Halo 2 screen with the vacuum cleaner.
I think buying a console one game is pointless. Check out the Wii's games and see what you like - if there is enough enticing stuff there, go for it.
I bought a 360 for Dead Rising :P Good thing I made sure it had a good library of non-Dead Rising games, since it turned out to be slightly disappointing. (Still a great game, just waaaaay too difficult.)
Speaking of difficulty, that's the one thing that'd keep me from Mario Galaxy if I had a Wii. I absolutely fail at platforming. Always have, always will. But it definitely looks quite fun and original.
If you're going to use the phrase "just a super mario game," you probably shouldnt buy a system just to play it.
it's not like i don't find mario stuff entertaining, especially the old 2D games, but i've read comments like "best game ever" about galaxy. since i missed a lot of the newer games, maybe i should get sunshine for the cube first.
Actually, in that case Mario Galaxy is definitely your game. It's a perfect fit for platforming novices.
Sunshine's definitely nowhere near as good as Galaxy or 64. It's still a good game in its own right, but it doesn't hold a candle to the other two.
And i didn't like Mario 64 either.. You have to search alot in that game.
But i bought Mario Galaxy and it's one of the best games i played this year! (Ok, next to HL2: Orangebox, bioshock and Sam and Max ofcourse). Great gameplay, it feels like a much more like an oldschool 2d mario. I will give it a 10 out of 10.. there is totally nothing wrong with this game!
Really? Nice. I guess it looks harder than it really is. (Like Space Giraffe)
If I ever fall down the Wii Well, I'll have to pick it up.
It does get quite tough in the last levels though...
But you only need 60 stars to finish the game, and it never gets *that* hard.
