Overall, I think this game is not nearly as most of the people who've reviewed it have made it out to be. I certainly don't think it defines any new ground in terms of platformers. 9.7, IGN? I think not.
Don't get me wrong - it's fun, about an 8-8.5. But motion is really awkward - particularly when you can't see yourself, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a 3-D Mario game has camera issues....
When they talked about "galaxies" in the game I thought they were talking about worlds, not little pieces of poop of which Mario is about 1% of the mass of the whole rock. No wonder the ground shakes when he does a stomp.
The Wii's motion-sensitive controller only goes so far - it's really too bad that there aren't really specific motions. Just "shake" and "point." Though, it certainly feels more natural that Super Paper Mario.
Seriously, I think Miyamoto has been taking estrogen. His games have become more and more childish over the years. WTF?
Super Mario 64 was good.

Super Mario 64 was good.
Other then a few camera issues, that game had a lot of content. I've beaten both the N64 and the DS version. It plays pretty well on the DS, too, and the extra content is a bonus. :)
As my friends put it, it's really fun when you're not playing it, and when you are playing it it's frustrating and you don't want to play.

I remember spending hours and hours on that game when I was younger :)
You have a Wii? Scumbag.
The game sounded fun as hell. :(
