GameSpot has their review for Super Mario Galaxy up and they have given it an astounding score of 9.5 out of 10. Giving praise to everything from the controls to the level design, they even call Super Mario Galaxy a true predecessor to Super Mario 64. This is something I’ve heard from many people that have played it and one of them have anything but fantastic things to say about the game. This is the game to own if you own a Nintendo Wii (along with a few others, but definitely this one).

Here’s a quote from the beginning of their review that seems to sum it up quite nicely:

Here is the game that Wii owners have been pining for, a game that has tons of appeal for both the less experienced player and the longtime gamer. A game that deftly combines accessibility and challenge, all wrapped up in a package that’s both deep and addictive. Super Mario Galaxy is all of this and more. It is simultaneously one of Mario’s best adventures and a game that doesn’t require fandom of the portly plumber’s previous engagements to appreciate. The sheer quality of Mario Galaxy’s wonderful level designs, tight controls, and brilliant presentation is the sort of thing that just about anyone who loves gaming should be able to appreciate, and that many will fall head-over-heels for.

I’ve got my copy on pre-order from GameStop and a gift card loaded with enough credits to pick it up when it’s ready and I can’t WAIT!
