When I saw the package, the namby pamby looking characters almost put me off. But reading literally dozens of reviews citing innovative gameplay won me over.
And those reviews were right.
Keeping in mind, this is technically a kids' game, it's easy to immerse one's self into the Mario Galaxy universe to complete the tasks. And if you think that sounds simple, it isn't.
The game's innovations come through the third dimension - literally. Walking up and down areas from a visual perspective that doesn't follow suit, this game excels at transforming the lore it started in 1985 -- and, at first, it comes across as jarring to be fighting nasties from a sideways or even upside down perspective, but that's part of the fun - and lasting value as I've never come across anything like this before. In short, mobility rocks.
If I were to have a gripe, maybe it is too cute-looking, and Nintendo did not need to superglue in the Mario lore for 'marketing and product identification' or whatever the money making term is -- this game is an innovative and creative adventure of its own accord. The Mario aspect is merely icing on a cake so rich it wouldn't have been necessary to include these old trademarks to garner interest.
As usual, Nintendo ups the ante with game focus and niche audiences, which is why the Wii became - and will remain - successful.
And, yeah, it's worth $50. :)
