About the story you actually need not say much, the Princess has been kidnapped, Dia of Bowser and the hardworking plumber makes itself naturally on the way to salvation. One roams many different dimensions and thereby collects stars. And here comes my first "complaint": in that you have to collect on each planet in the universe in the 'average 3 stars / can, and this indeed always offer new routes, but the flair of course, is always the same, makes me slow boredom wide ... some stars are super easy (for the little ones among us), some are real crisp. Dadruch the game dynamics is brought sensitive off balance, which as 100% player a little annoying me - in addition to the monotony.
The graphics are lovely, lots of funny details, but again - not much new - Mario in 3D. The innovation I'm missing here somehow (and only the fly from planet to planet is a bit too thin ^^).
Gameplay: Unfortunately the game itself displaced by 1 place. The innovations that should make the game truly unique (eg gravity, if you walk upside down) is ruined by an annoying camera work and a clunky and imprecise control. Not infrequently the camera pans and if you're not super fast "on" and press the joystick in the other direction, then you walk back and stop the camera pans again. Also one remains the one time or another depend (eg when you walk across the water, you hang before a one or another obstacle and falls into the water)
Otherwise, the game easy and who does not just want to have all the stars who has determined the odd hour really enjoy it. Also for the little ones a recommendation, even if dialogues must be read (but this is typical Mario ^^). Real pain I feel the musical countdown, if you have ideas - people, because we become tame when the tooting is getting faster and faster and louder ^^
On the whole a nice game that you can quite time "treat" - but is by no means ran to Mario Paper!
