"True to the "Galaxy" moniker, Super Mario Galaxy 2's gameplay is largely founded on gravity, or rather, the manipulation of it. Depending on the size of a planet, Mario can jump far enough to break orbit, and in some case, use gravitational pulls to solve tricky puzzles. Super Mario Galaxy 2 also brings new power-ups to the familiar gameplay, including standouts like the Rock Mushroom and the Cloud Flower, just a couple mechanics that greatly expand the Mustachioed Marvel's natural talents. As if that wasn't enough of a change-up, Yoshi also tags along for the ride, packing his own bag of tricks. Even though the graphics look the same, all these elements and more make Super Mario Galaxy 2 a worthy sequel, if not an outright better title than the first, and definitely one of the best Wii games -- period." - GamePro
