Super Mario Galaxy

Stuart Andrews

Wii £40. Age 3+

Our acrobatic Italian plumber is heading for the stars to rescue his princess. This is classic Mario but not quite as we know it. Our hero has to explore small systems of planets and avoid space debris rather than dive into pipes and collect mushrooms.


The motion-sensitive feature of the Wii remote is limited to a few levels so fans of the original won’t feel disappointed. Visually it’s bright and breezy, but it doesn’t quite feel like a Super Mario game: some of the magic seems lost. As you progress, though, you discover imaginatively thought-out levels, packed with that effervescent playfulness we know and love. The result is a truly innovative treat.

For Crysis you got it wrong, you discover Koreans then the story takes a twist and you fight Aliens.

Andrew, Tunbridge Wells, England
