More of the same. That’s what I was expecting out of Super Mario Galaxy 2, but man was I wrong. Sure the game does still use the same engine from the first game but yet the experience still feels fresh. From countless new ideas and level designs to the amazing, and expected, addition of Yoshi, this game is constantly improving on the foundation the first one created. The camera, which was some times a problem in original was fixed, so no more dying because it somehow got stuck on the wrong side of a planet or wall. The controls are even tighter than before and controlling Mario seems so much simpler this time around. Everything move you try and do just flows so naturally and you never get that feeling that the game is flawed and that’s why you couldn’t make that last jump. The difficulty this time around has also been turned up, but is a very welcome addition. The game does give you a lot of hints if you’re having trouble though and it also includes the “auto play” feature so that if you really are at your wits end on how to beat a level then you can just agree to let it play and move on to the next level. The level select has also been redone. Instead of exploring to find were you need to go to get your next star, the levels are set up in a more traditional Mario style, very much like Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World. The game is truly fantastic and a must play for any Mario fans, especially if you loved the first one. I definitely recommend picking this gem of a game up, you won’t regret it.
