Absolutely brilliant review in the latest issue of gamesTM (no. 63).

9/10

"How do you top the best game ever made? Easy, you just make one that's even better, in every conceivable way."

"More fun to play than Mario 64."

"A landmark videogame."

Out on 16th November.

Bright, bold, unrepentantly loony, Galaxy is everything you wanted it to be. It's beautiful and inventive. It's pure-blood Mario without being a retro indulgence. It's a stiff platforming challenge and a free-wheeling romp. It's the best thing on Wii, and the best traditional game Nintendo has made in a decade. The only thing about it which dulls your enjoyment is the memory of all the mediocre games you've had to play in the meantime.

10/10

Yes, You do

We traded Boogie! in for this. Bit of an upgrade!

Been playing this for a couple of hours. Just got to the ray surfing. Eurogamer were right in the correct balance of difficulty and fun.

I think the Wii is about to really start showing what it can do!

Another glowing review, this time in the latest EDGE magazine (EDGE & gamesTM are the only print mags I trust for reviews).

They gave it 10/10 (& they don't hand those out often at EDGE).

Ramrod · 05-01-2008, 20:18

Played this a bit with the kids...............quite impressive

Apart from this year! Halo 3, Mario and Orange box all got 10/10. All deserved IMO. Mario should easily be GOTY (and is according to EDGE) and one of the best games ever.
