If you loved the first Super Mario Galaxy, you will adore the sequel.
This isn't a game that redefines the genre: this is one that rolls it up and locks it away.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 throws something new at you nearly every single level - and with over 240 stars to collect, that's no small feat. [Issue#206, p.94]

This game was an upgrade from the first but they added small grinding by collecting specific amount for stars from galaxy to progress further although it was also in the 1st one but it's not that polished in this game

Levels are really good but lacks some of the magic of the firsy Opus. Unfortunately the observatory disappeared

Galaxy 2 is a genre defining piece of software and one that is, as the title suggests: out of this world.

10 out of 10, simply perfect and infallible. Nothing else to add, nothing was nmissing, period.

It's confounding how this simple world can evoke feelings of curiosity, wonder, and dread all at once.

This isn't just the best Mario game on the Wii, it's arguably the best Mario game on any platform. A ton of fan service, served up with multiple slices of newly minted Mario gameplay take Galaxy 2 beyond a level that I think anyone could have expected.

If you loved Galaxy you'll adore this. Yet another dazzling high-water mark in Mario's career. [June 2010, p.75]

It is the truest sequel Nintendo has produced in over a decade.

Simultaneously more and less than its predecessor. It expands and elaborates on the gameplay in unpredictable ways, but the last one felt like a bigger, more complete adventure. That said, better core gameplay with less window dressing is infinitely preferable to the reverse.

RamRam: I rate it a 10 because it is my favorite Mario game of all time. I like everything from the difficulty, music, levels, and nostalgia I have from the game.

A disappointing sequel to one of the best games ever made. The comet amazing observatory is replaced by a boring and small Mario Head (literally...), the worlds are organised in a Super Mario Bros style instead of a sandbox, which is definitely not the best approach for a 3D Mario. Rosalina, one of my favorite characters from the Mario franchise, has been replaced by a fat, ugly, purple luma (at least I think it's a luma...). The boss fights are boring, which is a huge letdown compared to the first game. The only thing that has been added is Yoshi, but you can only use him for 5 levels and it's even that fun. And what's more you can't redo the game as Luigi, what's the point of unlocking him once you've already finished the game?

SummarySuper Mario Galaxy 2, the sequel to the galaxy-hopping original game, includes the gravity-defying, physics-based exploration from the first game, but is loaded with entirely new galaxies and features to challenge players. On some stages, Mario can pair up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi and use his tongue to grab items and spit them back ... Read More
