I’ve had Super Mario Galaxy for a little less than a week, and so far it’s been pretty much everything I hoped it would be. There are still times that I can’t get used to walking around on the bottom of planets, but that’s a small detail. In almost every respect it has been totally awesome. I’ve picked up about 35 stars so far, so I’m a little bit more than a quarter of the way through everything. Despite her reluctance, I even got Amber to help me a little bit with the co-star mode.

The game is one of the best looking I’ve seen on Wii. The art style is very well done and the game has an unrivaled level of polish. This just goes to show that those other developers releasing games that look like ass aren’t trying very hard. Perhaps they’re working too hard trying to figure out more ways to waggle the controller? It’s kind of sad.
