Video Games Reviews

Great gameplay, but needs story.
Lets get this out of the way-’Galaxy’ is the best platformer in years and I wholeheartedly recommend it for great family fun. ‘Galaxy’ has consistently fun and fresh game play that getting the stars will be a pleasure. The only problem here however, unlike the awesome Zelda, theres not much in terms of story. The peeps at Nintendo seem to have only focused on game play and just threw in some quick story accessible from the game’s “reading room”. Ten, twenty years ago this was fine because games weren’t art, but today’s great video games need more than pitch perfect game play which is what ‘Galaxy’ has at the very least.

Awesome game play, but forced ‘add-on’ story is not acceptable today in video games. ‘Galaxy’ is great fun, but thats it- no hilarious dialogue or much in the way for story. Nintendo has to focus more on story if they want to get the sales numbers it deserves(Halo).

Buy ‘Galaxy’ because its fun. If you want something more like a story you simply wont find it here which in this new day and age of video games is simply not enough. Step it up Nintendo!

Players experience perspective shifts as they run upside down through alien worlds.

Control Mario with the Wii Remote and use the Nunchuk to perform his special moves. A special co-op function allows a second player to collect star bits for Mario or take care of enemies in his way. This title also includes opportunities to change Mario into a Boo or a bee.
