Instead of the hub world of the last game, Galaxy 2 will include a map system similar to those in Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

/thread :eek:

Not much talk or hype for this game which was arguably the best game of 2007..... and maybe the best Mario game ever made.

Anyone still got their Wii's out ready to play with Mario and Yoshi?


Plot

At the start of the story, Princess Peach invites Mario to watch the Star Festival, a time when stars are showering over Mushroom Kingdom. When Mario comes to the castle, he sees Bowser, super-sized from harnessing the power of the stars, attacking and capturing Peach. As Bowser escapes, Mario launches into outer space in pursuit.

Gameplay

Gameplay will be similar to that of the first Super Mario Galaxy, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets (referred to collectively as galaxies) with varying sizes and landscapes. The planets will also be smaller allowing the player to jump from planet to planet. The protagonist Mario will be able to ride the bipedal dinosaur Yoshi, who can use his tongue to swing across gaps, as well as eat different fruits that give him different powers, such as speed boosts, the ability to inflate like a balloon, or the power to reveal secret paths. While the player retains the ability to collect Star Bits with the blue Star Pointer from the first game, the Star Pointer is replaced by a red dot when riding Yoshi, which allows the player to aim and control his tongue. This can be used for swinging off objects, pulling levers or, as in previous games, swallowing enemies and spitting them out.

Not sure that first picture is real. I'd be surprised if they kept the U R MR GAY stars
 
Except from Wii Sports Resort this is probably the last game I played on my Wii and the sole reason I still have one. Can. Not. Wait.
 
This is the reason I keep the wii, games like this come along every now and again, loved the first one. It'll get dusted down in preparation for this, the girlfriend might actually remember about the wii fit board I got her as well :p

Marvel at the pieces, but appreciate the whole. This isn’t a game that redefines the genre: this is one that rolls it up and locks it away. We’ve come so far, from stepping on mushrooms to drop-kicking meteors into the heart of the sun; Galaxy 2 offers a new understanding of where we’ve been, a new sense of wonder at where we’ll go next.

Pity I'm going to have to wait for the UK release of this game as the pound is tanking against the dollar :(
 
Plenty of brilliant games out there than you can get for under 20 if not under 10 after 3 or 4 years. I might try looking on ebay, cheapest I've seen is £25 new.

Surprisingly it's actually only 2 1/2 years old, but even so...

According to some sources it's the best rated video game evar, so that's got to count for something.
