Super mario galaxy 2 is definitely 1 of my favorite games to play and replay and for good reasons. Mario 64 set the standards for 3D platformers however the Galaxy games went far beyond, redefining what a good 3D platformer should be. Does it live up to those standards? I'll come back to that question later but for now, into the review.

Graphics: 9
The Wii didn't have the greatest of graphics since it had to focus on other areas such as motion controls. Therefore it isn't in HD but that isn't a problem because that won't stop games from looking beautiful. Especially for the Wii. This proves that you don't have to be HD to look good, just bright and colourful.

Sound 9:
The music for this is gorgeous, which isn't a surprise, Nintendo have many well composed music tracks. Take the remix for Thwomp fortress or the bowser boss stages, the intro music. everything just fits well with the place.

Addictiveness: 10
This game is so addictive(even if you suck like me and die a lot) that it was hard not to binge play this game, the gameplay has been refined, the motion controlled ball sections are fun(plus if you go fast you roll like sonic), the stages are fun, the powerups are good, Yoshi is in it with Super Mario world like power ups(EG: Flying)and the glitches are hilarious.

Story: 7
Take the usual"Bowser steals Peach, Mario rescues her" and place it in space. Add Bowsers universe domination plan, put a crew of Lumas helping Mario stop Bowser, put in a young Luma lost that gives Mario a spin power and you get a good story in Mario standards. The story is, Bowser steals all Grand stars and Power stars in the universe with Bowser JR and his minions, kidnap Peach on a festival as a giant and then Mario sets out on and out of this world adventure... I'm sorry.

Depth: 8
In this game, you can collect 242 stars, 7 worlds, 49 galaxies, 3 Yoshi powerups, 8 powerups for Mario(time limited, infinite and drill, which I count) and even more.

Difficulty:8
It's not actually too difficult, yes it has got difficult stages but it isn't that hard. I just suck at games.

The review was short, but it was surprisingly detailed. You give enough information about the metrics to give a good idea of what they are like. The only thing you now need to make great reviews is details. Lots, and lots of details. But you are getting there!
