Nintendo Wii

 Well on first impressions, Nintendo have done it again, with a beautifully realised game world, consisting imaginatively of various small planets / galaxies that have u controlling the iconic Plummer and defying gravity in a new spin on a well-worn formula.

Although surprisingly easy on first inspection, the game’s depth comes from the superb replayability and wealth of secrets just waiting to be discovered – and the game play is both clever and familiar, with impressive use of the Wii’s motion sensitivity throughout. 

Definitely the sharpest, most impressive Wii game to date, both visually and sonically, with memorable music, great sound effects and a wonderful attention to detail in every pixel.

Whether this can compare to epic Mario of yesteryear, such as Super Mario World or especially Mario 64, only time will tell – but after several days, this is fiendishly inventive, addictive and above all else – great fun.
