The Lumas help out again as you travel through space to retrieve stars that provide power to your new “faceship,” yes that’s a spaceship shaped like Mario’s face. Once again, you have to rescue the kidnapped Princess Peach from Bowser, but this time he’s been made giant-sized by an infusion of cosmic power from stars he has stolen. Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn’t muck around much with extra story, it sticks with the tried and true Mario game premise. But is that what Super Mario Galaxy 2 simply amounts to – an expansion pack? Or is S uper Mario Galaxy 2 a step towards 3D platforming game perfection? Pick up your Fire Flower and let’s burn through this to find out. New levels, new power ups, 242 more stars to collect and the return of Yoshi are all here to achieve that expanded gameplay experience. And based on what I’ve played so far this month, I have every reason to believe that the payoff will be big.What wasn’t so old is new again as Super Mario Galaxy 2 sets out to expand on what we saw in the original Galaxy game. It’s critical that a few of these games score big for the game industry. But it’s nice to have so many choices this month for new video games. You get to ride around on horses, complete missions as a ranch hand, and deal with the bad guys using a gun and Dead Eye, which slows down time and lets you draw a bead on multiple enemies at once.Īlan Wake may not be faring as well, since critics have given it a lower average review score of 83 ( whereas I called it a work of art and gave it 95 out of 100). The New York Times’ Seth Schiesel called it a “tour de force,” and so far I have to agree.
I’m playing the game and share the view that this vast open world set in the Wild West is truly addictive and fresh (think Grand Theft Auto as a Western). But the reviews turned out phenomenal at 95 out of 100 on average. Red Dead Redemption, which cost an estimated $100 million to create at Rockstar’s San Diego studio, took years to make (its predecessor game debuted in 2004). Last week, the big launches included Rockstar’s epic Western game Red Dead Redemption, Remedy’s psychological thriller Alan Wake, Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Disney’s racing game Split/Second.

But there is also serious competition from free games on the web, such as Zynga’s FarmVille, and cheap 99 cent iPhone titles. That may explain Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2’s record sales of multiplayer map packs, and that would mean gamers don’t have time for the new titles. Pachter said it may be possible that gamers are playing existing games for a longer time. Last month, titles such as BioShock 2, a hit in March, failed to continue selling in April. It’s just too bad that Nintendo delayed Metroid Other M, its other big upcoming title, until August. This game could single-handedly turn things around, since it’s a Wii exclusive and Wii sales so far are as big as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sales combined. The big draw of this one is the twist in the game play introduced by a drill, which allows a gravity-defying Mario to burrow through planets to solve puzzles and defeat monsters, as well as the ability to fly with a Yoshi mount. I’ve played some of the game and enjoyed its typical Mario cuteness. Early reviews of Super Mario Galaxy 2 are coming in extremely strong, with an average review score of 98 out of 100 on Metacritic, which aggregates review scores.
