Super Mario Galaxy 2 is out in the US now and so far, the reviews for the Nintendo Wii sequel have been nothing short of breath-taking.

At this moment in time Super Mario Galaxy 2 is sitting on a phenomenal 98% average on Metacritic and could very well end up being one of their best rated games ever.

Here are some quotes from some of the video game websites that have so far reviewed the game.

Up first are industry giants IGN.com who said…

Consider me “wowed.” Again. Yes, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is more of what made the original so amazingly good: brilliant gravity platfoming. Incredibly tight and responsive controls. Fantastic musical score. But it’s not a “me too” experience — a significant majority of this sequel is brand new.

Edge Magazine was equally complimentary…

This isn’t a game that redefines the genre: this is one that rolls it up and locks it away.

While 1Up.com seemed genuinely blown away by the game’s quality…

Takes everything its predecessor did and maintains that urgent sense of wonder and discovery, creating a world that copies its past self, yet keeps the freshness that made it so exciting when the first game debuted two years ago.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 hits the UK retail shelves on June 11th.
