Super Mario Galaxy - Platform Games are Back!

[Eric Clyde]

Platformers have went down quite a bit last generation or 2. Rayman, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon have went downhill as well as games like Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Psychonauts, Sonic the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong etc. Now with Super Mario Galaxy only a week from release and gaining a lot of attention from all the reviews it has been getting, hopefully the genre can come up again as Banjo-Kazooie 3 is also on its way.

Here is the reviews for Super Mario Galaxy.

GameSpot - 9.5/10 - 95.0%
IGN - 9.7/10 - 97.0%
Game Informer - 9.75/10 - 97.5%
PALGN AU - 10/10 - 100.0%
EuroGamer - 10/10 - 100.0%
GamesTM - 9/10 - 90.0%
GameTrailers - 9.8/10 - 98.0%
Computer & Video Games UK - 9.5/10 - 95.0%
UGO - A - 95.0%
1UP - 9.5/10 - 95.0%

Average ratio = 97%

Hopefully this game can resurrect a dying genre.

You can always rely on Mario games to be class, all other platform games fail in comparison.

And SMB3 on the Virtual Console to boot!

This is a great game it has to be said. So far I've got 22 stars; I don't get time to play games much so I'm going to make this last a while.

Can't really say as I haven't finished it yet, but I'll say about 96, because you can't ride Yoshi.
