Very fun game. I saved the Princess after collecting 64 stars. Not too difficult. Question...have any of you die hards collected all 120? How hard is it to do?
I got the game the other day but haven't played it. A few of my friends have played it and beaten it by getting all 120 stars, they said the game is the same as Mario 64 in how hard it is so I'm guessing probably not.
I've been playing the game, off and on, for the last month or so. I'm up to 104 stars, they do get more difficult as you get deeper into the game, particularly the green star galaxies. Probably my favorite Mario game since SMB 3 ... it's that good of a game.
There are actually either 241 or 242 stars in the game. You get the initial 120, then you unlock a second playthrough with another 120 stars. After that, there's a sort of bonus world. I don't know if the bonus world appears after playing through each time, or only one time, thus I don't know if there are 241 or 242 stars.
Isnt that second playthrough basically collecting the same stars, but with Luigi? And Luigi is faster and can jump higher and all.
did you do it? i may have to revisit this game...ready for something new. i think you sold me on uncharted. i prefer games take 5-10 hours to complete, play it, enjoy it, and move on to another interesting adventure. Is Mass Effect really awesome though?
Plan on getting the Wii soon. I got a XBOX360 at the moment. Just waiting for the release of Super Smash Bros.
I haven't had time. I've beaten the game, but I only have something like 72 stars. Uncharted is worth your while, and Mass Effect really is that awesome. If you enjoyed Knights of the Old Republic or Jade Empire, you'll love Mass Effect.
thanks bro. i guess i may have to get both. i dont think anything big is coming out anytime soon, is there? GTA4 keeps getting delayed.
and on another note...Wii games amaze me. Sure the graphics are't quite up to date, but the games are HUGE. Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy are pretty enormous. I returned metroid prime, i just didnt have the 40 hours.
GTA4 should come out around April. I wouldn't let it influence whatever you want to buy right now. Devil May Cry 4 and Brothers in Arms 3 come out in February, but those are the only big name games I can think of. Well, Metal Gear Solid 4, too, but that doesn't have a firm release date yet.
Honestly, I think the best games on the Wii are available on the Virtual Console. And even then the VC doesn't have the truly great games from the past.
Are you kidding me? I have been playing punchout, techmo bowl, and donkey kong, jr. I kick as in Mario Galaxy..just haven't had enough time to get the first 120 stars yet. I am about 20 stars away though. Great game. I sometimes feel vertigo playing it though...lol
Agree. There isn't a whole lot there unless you love TurboGraphix games. Galaxy is a great game. For some reason it didn't do it for me.
I got serious vertigo playing zelda: twilight princess, and a couple migraines(once vomiting)...no joke. but hey no guts no glory.
Let me know when they put up Lufia II, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG, and start translating games that hadn't been released during the SNES' lifetime here in the US, like Dragon Quest 5 and Seiken Densetsu 3.
I finally beat Mario Galaxy last night. Was very cool. Thought the Bowser battle was alot less memorable than the Mario64 and Mario3 last boss fights. I think it was a better game over all than Mario64.... but not Mario3.
