Super Awesome Galaxy!!!
Violence(the little there is :P): You have a jump that can bop enemies, some enemies are quite well guarded yet still defeatable. One enemy of this choice is Hatted Goombas. They wear Hard hats. They only way to defeat them is too spin into them. Shake the Wiimote. Defeating bosses is quite neat, as the wave weak spots that you must hit. Some stick out like sore noses. Education:When things are tricky, you must find out what to do. Messages(Positive): Princess Peach has been stolen, and Mario must rescue her. Messages(Negative):Bowser is a greedy dinosaur, trying to take over the world. Lubba trys to rid you from the ship by telling you to take a break.

Ignoring the Monsters
People who loved the first Mario Galaxy, they will love this. There's nothing really bad to say about this game although there are monsters and creepy creatures throughout the game.

Very awesome!
I love Super Mario Galaxy 2 but the first one made me cry at the end after I defeated Bowser at the end. I don't have this one but one of my friends have it and I play it all the time whenever I visit him! I love it!

Go Mario 2!
Extremely fun. I absolutely love playing as Yoshi. I think it's great how easy to play it all is and how much pride they put in their work.

One of Mario's best adventures.
I admit I am a Nintendo fangirl, but I know a fun, easy to pick up, and downright amazing game when I see it.
Story: Princess Peach has been kidnapped yet again (surprise, surprise) by a "planet sized" Bowser (well, Nintendo tried to be a bit original.)
Controls: You play with the wiimote/nunchuk combination, and I've yet to encounter a problem. Press a to jump, b to shoot star bits, move Mario with the nunchuk. Yoshi is also controled with the nunchuk and you press b to have him eat things.
Graphics: For a wii game, this is outstanding. The colorful, cartoon-ish graphics are a Mario staple, and they are pulled off quite well here.
Gameplay: The whole gimick of the galaxy games is that gravity plays a roll in the game. Every planet has different gravity to keep the levels interesting. Also, there are powerups Mario uses throughout the levels (staples like the fireflower, bee suit, and new power ups such as cloud Mario). Yoshi also has powerups to use, but most were only used once, 3 times at the most.
Nostalgia: This game has 2 levels which hark back to the past 2 main games in the Mario series; Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. I don't know about you, but when I heard the redone bob-omb battlefield music, I smiled.
Note for parents: There is a 'cosmic guide' feature in the game. If your child continually fails the level, the cosmic guide will take over, showing how to get through the level, and the giving the player a bronze star. I haven't used it yet, but I'm only at 96 stars out of the 242.
The game's current price at 50$ is a bit steep, but the game is fantastic.

Easier and funner than the first!
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is less frustrating than the first and the graphics are brighter and so much better! The controls for the Wii remote are simple. A few buttons mastered and a couple flicks of the wrist and you pretty much got it covered. Here we have Mario fighting against Bowser to save Princess Peach, so nothing new in the storyline. There is some violence, but it's nothing new to any of the previous games. There's jumping, squashing, smacking, and all of that other cartoony violence. This is game is perfect for the family!

A classic that will dominate the console for countless hours.
In the world of videogaming, there are so many shining gems out there, it's hard to know which is best for your child - especially when you have no videogaming experience. No need to worry though, because Super Mario Galaxy 2 combines all of the essential elements needed for a masterpiece: beautiful graphics, easy gameplay, deep plot, long playability hours, and value for money. If you have a Wii and a big family or some friends, Galaxy 2 is not only perfect, but the only game that can both fulfill that amazing multiplayer experience and still keep an amazing solo quest. The Mario franchise has always been a critically acclaimed series (and, without a doubt, Nintendo's flagship series), but with the introduction of Galaxy in 2007 (I still own that game and have played through it five times), critics and consumers alike were astounded by the new innovative control system, colossal levels and the breakout from the traditional Mario platform layout. Since then, Galaxy has been a resounding success - both in criticism and in sales numbers - and is a definite must buy for any Wii user. Even hardcore gamers and completionists will get at least 20 hours of gameplay. There is nothing else to say; buy the game, and you will enjoy it.

Awesome game
This is my 2nd favorite video game ever! It is endlessly creative and never ever gets old. This game is extremely hard, especially to get all 242 stars, which is a lot. There are some "scary" moments with fireballs and bowser, but all in all this game is appropriate. I recommend this to everyone.

Critical response.
In 2007, Super Mario Galaxy was awarded game of the year by IGN. Rightfully so, the game was creative, challenging and excellent gameplay. Nearly three years later, no one had met the same success as the Galaxy team, until they created Super Mario Galaxy 2. SMG2 takes everything that made the original successful and added a ton of new features to it. SMG2 is everything it should be, because Nintendo felt that the original was uncaptured potential. This is not just a sequel. Nintendo threw the entire plot of the original out the window and started fresh. In terms of difficulty, it picks up where Galaxy left off. Defeating the final boss is now much harder than the past game, and that doesn't count the 120 other levels that can still be beaten after the final battle. There are a total of 242 stars to collect, outdoing the original's 121. Camera system was greatly updated since the original and Yoshi is now a playable character. I give the game a 9.4 out of 10. IGN awards it with a 10. Metacritic: 97. Nintendo Power: Game of the year.

Great, but hard. Good for all gamers.
The game plays really good the controls are spot-on, and the story is pretty good. The evels have very clever design, and the bosses are okay.
In some portions the game gets VERY frustrating, like when you have cosmic clones attacking you while you are trying to get a goldenchain chomp to the end of the room, ut it is a good challenge. Better than the first game.

Good.....for a Sequel
I am a very truthful person so I'm not going to lie, this game didn't live up to the popular rave. The graphics and music are great, 9/10 each, but the gameplay is terrible: 6/10. Only some levels are fun: Yoshi levels, boss levels and one level called "The Tall Tree's Big Slide". Levels: 7/10. Mario is a great role model, he saves the day on multiple occasions. Lubba and Yoshi also help Mario throughout his quest to save Princess Peach, therefore, they serve as great role models. The game relays several messages. One such message is to take a break from the game when Lubba tells you to take a break from adventuring. Another message that is relayed is friends help friends, like when Yoshi helps you in your quest to save the princess. The whole "save the damsel in distress" idea can be a positive message too. Kids will have to put their problem solving skills to the test to defeat the enemy AI (artificial intelligence). Kids will also have to navigate puzzling labyrinths. There is little violence in the game. Some scary creatures are seen and can frighten anyone under the age of six. As with past Mario games, you hop on foes and launch fireballs with a certain powerup. There is a new powerup where you turn into a boulder and roll over enemies. Overall, I give this game a 7.5/10. If you want a better game, go with the original Super Mario Galaxy. It's 30 dollars less and a way better game.
