Nintendo can always bank on Mario's inimitable blend of mass appeal and fundamentally excellent gameplay, and Super Mario Galaxy was its big Wii hit for the holidays.
-
Edge gave it the full 10/10, saying that it "pulls off stunts no one else has even thought of, and makes it look easy", while revolution gave it 9.6/10, praising the planet-hopping platforming for "allowing a huge variety of elements to be squeezed into each stage without ever feeling cluttered or overly confusing". Official Nintendo Magazine gave it 97% and games™ scored it 9/10. Also on the Wii, Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games saw the platforming rivals face off in multi-sports action, with scores of 9.0/10 in nRevolution, 90% in ONM and 8/10 in games™ proving the wisdom of the concept. Capcom's point-and-click puzzler Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros' Treasure also delighted, scoring 94% in ONM and 8/10 in Edge, the former literally imploring readers to buy it.
