What's the buzz?

BEE MARIO IS BACK. That was an exclamation of excitement. But not the good kind. The kind you get when you tense yourself up for terror or disappointment. Bee Mario has never been a honey to me; his slow, ungainly buzzing about and overall wonkiness never felt right and totally slows down the experience. I half feel that simply jumping would get you better height, not to mention tighter controls. Bee Mario allows you to slooowly figure your placing opposed to the typical acrobatics, and I suppose it's better at horizontal movements... but it's still wonky.

Super Mario Galaxy 2! Woo-hoo~!

Well, um. Uh. I basically already said everything I'd say about this game in the description I gave for the first Mario Galaxy series I recorded. You can read it in the description here:

Pretty much this is just... more! More galaxy romping. More goomba stomping! More Galaxy! Though it may feel a wee bit different in presentation. Nintendo (Shiggy?) decided to return back to the typical Mario overworld map for this, and dropped the central hub deal. Kinda. I mean, you can run around a weird faceship that the friends you meet along your travels congregate and stuff. And the backgrounds for the map areas are beautiful. But the central progression is very plain.

Oh, also they seem to have dropped all knowledge of the first game. This is like an alternate universe Mario Galaxy, which actually fits in the Galaxy continuum if you've seen the end of the first! It bears mention that Rosalina is NOT a central figure in this game, which is kinda disappointing. Instead you get a weird fat luma guy-thing. He's pretty chill. Yoshi's here too, which is kinda cool.

If you liked the first, this'll be your cup of tea! (Whee-hee~!)
