Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Wii Game Review

posted by sacah on Sep 9, 2010 wii, review,

My first rented game from GetGaming Australia was Super Mario Galaxy 2, I was quite eager to play it as all the reviews were quite positive.

It was an impressive game, did an excellent job of the platform to 3D conversion that hasn't been done successfully many times before. The controls initially are fairly easy to get a handle on, there is lots of new skills to learn and things to collect and each level is well designed and thought out to keep increasing the difficulty.

Played it for about 5hours before sending it back, like so many Wii games I just can't get a handle on the camera angle and at times you can't change it at all, which as levels got harder left me frustrated at falling off edges that I couldn't see coming because of the angle of the camera.

As a casual gamer, and not having forked out $99 for this game, this was enough frustration to cause me to stop playing, and until it's on the bargain bin I won't be buying it.
