Super Mario Galaxy 2!

Well I just got my copy of this game two days ago on launch day here in Australia, but at least it was worth the wait. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is amazing and constantly delights and enchants anyone within the vicinity of the warm glow it emits. At this stage (I am about 70 stars into it at them moment) it is at least equal with it's predecessor, if not slightly better, because it has more variation with a LOT more galaxies to explore. The two player co-op mode has also been given an upgrade and they have significantly more influence over the game, now they can pick up coins (even purple coins of which 100 gets you a star) as well as being able to kill some enemies. This is a game that is very easy to get lost in, when I bought it I played it for about 3 hours without even noticing how long I had been playing for, the game just sucks you in with a good balance between challenging and simply satisfying levels. It is so easy to play for hours because Nintendo have somehow squeezed every last bit out of the Wii to make it look really great and certainly good enough for this generation of video games. Writing about it just makes me want to play more, time to go get me some more stars!
