Famitsu <3s Super Mario Galaxy



This is so unsurprising it almost doesn't qualify as news, but as it may influence, ooh, the three of you who weren't going to pick the game up, we'll press on. Basically, Famitsu has just reviewed Super Mario Galaxy, and awarded it a quite stonking 38/40. The score consists of two 10s and two 9s from Famitsu editors, and exactly matches the grade dished out to Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess last year.

In particular, the Famitsu bunch were happy to talk up the game's difficulty curve and level design, while also reserving praise for the boss fights and the ways in which the Wiimote is put to use. In a nutshell, then: Galaxy is drool-inducingly ace. Big surprise, eh?
