How the feck do you save?

Re: Mario Galaxy
 

Yes, TRU sucks.

I called, lady on phone says "we are guarnteed to get our shipment in at 5"

Get there, no shipment, still none by 6. Employees don't know how things work, pissed lots of people off in the line, etc....

Got mine at Gamestop today, 3 stars in, the whole planet thing is a little weird and disorienting at first but I'm getting more used to it. This will be pretty -EV for poker I think. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, I'm fairly sure the commemorative coin I got as a result of pre-ordering at Gamestop is going to make an awesome card protector when playing live. I used to use the Oblivion collector's edition coin, and it was super rad, but then I lost it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Looks like it just asks if you want to save after each star you get.

I'm 6 stars in and like the game a lot so far. About as good as Mario 64 but without the camera problems.

yeah... it prompts you to save. but if you're not in a galaxy, just push + and you can save.

I'm loving this game so far. I've gotten 6 stars... it's really fun to me... It was hard to get used to running upside down and stuff at first but now it's getting a lot better. There isn't a whole lot to figure out yet, but I'm sure it will get harder as the game goes.

Re: Mario Galaxy
 

I've got 11 stars so far and the hardest things I've done are the surfing gal and the candy gal.

Re: Mario Galaxy: 97 on Metacritic
 

I'm just 6 stars in, but I think it has a lot of potential. So far things have varied between easy and disorientating, but that should change as I get farther in. This is the first game I've played in a long long time that has recaptured some of that excitement you get when you know you're playing an epic game.

Re: Mario Galaxy: 97 on Metacritic
 

Last night, I got some bonus stars from the "cosmic orbit" or whatever. It lets you replay levels but you have to do it in a certain time limit or race a shadow Mario. You have to look at the map to see where the special star is. It was really really fun.
And yeah, that candy galaxy is tough... I lost like ten lives trying to do it. I still haven't gotten through it.

Re: Mario Galaxy: 97 on Metacritic
 

I got up to about 16 stars and wow this is fun. My only complaint is that the organization of galaxies into planets means it kinda feels like you're performing a bunch of small tasks in succession (getting off each planet and moving to the next) as opposed to Mario 64, where you had these huge expansive worlds to run around in; each "mission" felt more cohesive.

It is early in the game though so future galaxies may address this complaint. That's really all I have to bitch about so far though, this game is sweeeeet and makes me feel like I'm a little kid again.

That's the problem I originally had with the previews way back when - the lack of big open worlds. The reviews do say that they are there though...
