Maybe I'm biased cause I don't play a lot of Mario games, but I swear there's almost no Mario games coming close to this one. I haven't played Super Mario Odyssey since I've never even TOUCHED a Nintendo Switch, but it looks good. I also briefly played the sequel to this but lost it. Mario Galaxy was on the Wii which was a weak (but amazing) console, yet still it pulls off being amazing. The setting is different, instead of the Mushroom Kingdom and we go to Bowser or Peach's castle like most Mario games, Bowser instead takes us into Space exploring different galaxies and planets, all of which having a different setting and feel. The Wii's motion controls are integrated perfectly in this game, the spin attack is pretty fun as well, knocking over a goomba then kicking them into Star Bits is satisfying, as well as it allowing us to jump higher and correct our movements. If utilized correctly this move can be pretty useful. The soundtrack is, oh my just so amazing. Sometimes even when I just go to the mission select when going to a galaxy, I just sit there for minutes just listening to the music. The visuals too are pretty good for a Wii game in 480i quality. There's also so many galaxies and missions to do, it takes a while to finish and that's a good thing. If a game has lots of content that takes time to 100% that's a big plus in my book. Something modern games struggle to do *cough* halo infinite. I'm not the best at summing up why some games are good, but trust me if you like plenty of levels to beat, platforming, Nintendo and the Wii and it's motion controls, this is going to be one heck of a ride for you.

Now if I'm being honest, this game is really more an 8 or a 7, but because of nostalgia, and for me at least, the good outweighs the ugly, I give this a 10/10. It's not exact for everyone, some people say it's "Not a true RPG." And I can see where they're coming from, but if you're able to get past the lack of choices in the game, it's fun. But, I digress. So when I first got this game, I was just blown away by it. Just like when I first played Skyrim when I was just around 7 years old, and my dad was already a big Morrowind and Oblivion fan, Skyrim was awesome. And now with Fallout 3, I felt the same once I stepped out of the Vault the first time. Now I'm taking a while to get to the point cause I guess, it's hard for me to figure out what I should say about this game, and how to say it. But I'll get into the good things. First off, the Fallout franchise as a whole (until Fallout 76) is just awesome. The world pre war being that of a retro futuristic 50's America is awesome, and the call out to humanity's behavior and tendency to go to war, and our other mistakes such as overusing the Earths resources bringing humanity to the brink of extinction, and how greed is a major factor into that. Some of that is made more of a theme in Fallout New Vegas, which is even better than this game, I already made a review on that. The story while some people don't like it, I never thought that some 19 year old leaving the vault to find his/her dad is a bad story, not to mention what the story turns into. Eventually, it becomes a bigger picture besides just finding our dad, and into bringing clean water to the wasteland, something which we take for granted now, is almost impossible to find in the wasteland ruins of Washington DC, like the water crisis in third world countries. This game is also fun if you don't want to be left sandwiched into making a decision as to how a game ends and make it straightforward. I remember when I was really young, I didn't like Fallout New Vegas cause i thought it was boring, and confusing as to how to get a good ending, and side with certain factions. But in Fallout 3, if you like open world exploration and rpg elements, but want a linear storyline that's simple, that's good for you. There's also just a lot to explore, collect, and just do besides explore and loot, such as buying decorations for your house. Also random quests like making a survival guide for Wastelanders. Anyway onto the bad. Like I said with the story being linear, if you DON'T like linear stories and want to make decisions, then that's a negative for you. Gunplay is also pretty bad, I've gotten used to it so personally it's not a big issue for me, but it definitely could use some changes and be far better than it already is. Unique weapons look no different from each other, some people have shocking said before that the graphics are bad as well, which I don't think it's bad, maybe a little mediocre for a 2008 game sure, but I've seen way worse, and it's still playable. But i guess if some of you are sensitive about how your graphics look, that's a negative, but I rarely hear anyone complain about it and this really shouldn't be a negative, but I supposed I'd include it. Overall though this game is just plain great in my opinion and many others. It's one of those games I could go one for hours simping for, but I won't do that. Just know that if you are a fan of Open World RPGs, and like storylines then you'll enjoy this so long as you can get past lack of decision making, gunplay, and quote on quote "bad graphics."

Is it silly? Yes, but it's intended to be a silly more kid friendly Batman movie and it does that great, but people hate on it for being silly. Don't listen to those reviews its actually a pretty nice movie. Is it a masterpiece? Not really, but if you're okay with a more wacky, light hearted over exaggerated Batman with a silly tone, it should be okay. I haven't seen Batman and Robin yet at the time of me making this but when I do I'll make a review.
