I mean I have to find words to describe what I played.

Endlessly imaginative. Brilliantly vibrant; Mario played as if on speed and acid; each planetoid designed with the creativity of entire levels of other Mario games. I mean! This is the REAL FUCKING DEAL. The short period I played, alone, is better than Super Mario Sunshine and I LOVED Super Mario Sunshine.

Genius; people said Twilight Princess was the return of "old Nintendo"... I loved Zelda. I thought that was the last fireworks of a dying Nintendo. I was wrong. THIS is undeniably The TRUE return to form for Nintendo; a harbinger of things to come if this is the talent they have in saddle. This is, in essence, the real "Return of the King"... Mario Galaxy is the diamond gem crown which EAD places upon its mighty head.

I have so much to say. But dinner is still cooking! Soon, friends!

god it's the type of game when you play, you want to wake people up just to tell them you did because it's revelatory. It's like you can FEEL the paradigm shifting under your feet when you play this, as if all Iwata's claims were proved true in an instant and the sound of a million doubters fell silent.

I am guys, you know, a HUGE Nintendo critic lately. I don't like the direction they've taken for various reasons, and I let myself be known on this issue. Everywhere. And I can say, in genuine, from the hour or so I kept coming back to the demo, that this was worth the price of Wii. I would pay $399.99 to play this.

It is almost like... jesus... it's like all those non-games were just tons and tons of crumbling rock plugging up some mighty volcano, and it all came undone with Mario Galaxy. The giant moved and swayed, melting faces in its wake. I am prone to hyperbole. I can assure you, nothing I can say will prepare.

My words may sounds hollow to some. Some more technical features: I thought wiimote would be at best a side step, as opposed to a step forward. It is comfortable, it works wonders, you do not need camera control at any moment (guys, they've designed a 3D platformer which requires NO CAMERA CONTROL EVER. Do you know what that alone indicates with the talent?). Mario's momentum is just so perfectly honed that every little movement feels rewarding. You don't even have to do anything, you can just spin Mario around and around and you'll feel as giddy as a fucking schoolchild.

This game? It LOOKS like a 360 game, save resolution. Yes, they actually did do it. Anybody tries to post LAUGHING SMILIES at this proposition, poke them in the eye with your dick. They're laughing out of fear. They've actually done it here. ANYONE on GAF that denies the visual pleasure unfolding here is a bullshit artist and a troll. Yes, 360 can obviously do better but here is a Wii game that looks as good, and you won't even once remotely think 'oh hey if only that goomba had bump maping.'

God the design. The fucking LEVEL design. I played much of what we've seen in early videos of this game, and even KNOWING what to expect did not truly explain what the experience is like. Here is a product that essentially shits on all other developers from the top of some unreachable mountain top. I love Ratchet, I love Sunshine. I love platformers. So why is it that this game seems to open a door that makes me almost embarrassed to have ever lauded them? FROM AN HOUR OF PLAY.

Oh God I think I'm turning back into a Nintendo fanboy... but it's such pure joy, really encapsulate the very reason I began to play games. I feel like a new gamer.

I've always said 'man, 3d games without camera control is pretty much a failure!'

I guess it's unfair to say it is purely the wiimote that did it, because it's not, but it's because they designed the game around the limitations of wiimote that this masterstroke really came: you're playing a blindingly fast, tap-dancingly gorgeous, elaborately designed platformer without the need for camera control, and it functions perfectly. The remote seems like from day one to have been made for Galaxy: like I said, it's comfortable, the button layout is perfect and there's never a moment i meant to do one thing but did another. But I guess if I can highlight one thing - it's that moving away from any real NEED to control the camera just creates this dynamic where you feel the game is working with you, as if it's giggling alongside your flights of fancy and psychadelic day trips, instead of being another facet of gameplay you need to master. It's better.
