Is super mario galaxy 2 over rated?

For me it was quite the contrary, the first part of the game was fun but nothing special, the latter levels were the ones that shock me, it is overrated? yes, i think it shouldn't be a 10, IMO it is a 9.5, because some levels were plain frustrating like the ones with the bird.

I wouldn't say its overrated though i will say a few nitpicky things keep it from being perfect.

I think it is right where it needs to be. Neither overrated, or underrated.

It didn't seem to lack originality in my opinion, and I played the first Super Mario Galaxy. My only problem for me was how linear it was.

10's seem so easy to achieve this generation for some reason.:roll:

Because having three titles with a 10/10 score is a large number...?

No the game is not overrated. If getting 10 out of 10 on every major reviewing site is overrated then Grand Theft Auto 4 must be overrated as well.

SMG2 is not overrated. If this game doesn't deserve 10/10, no game does.

but after a couple of days I just left the game and played BFBC2. The game seems to lack originality in gameplay.Rickystickyman

I think it´s not overated

didn't play the first one, as for the second one, its not bad so far

I think that it deserves the reviews it's getting. It's definately the best 3D platformer I have ever played: a spot that was previously owned by Rayman 2 back in 1999

I can't say that it's overrated. In fact, it was quite an improvement from the first one, just what sequels are supposed to do.

I'm also getting annoyed how people claim the game is a "rehash" of the first game, and from what I could see, there are way too many differences between the two games (including level structure) to be considered a "carbon copy". "I know! Let's rehash Sonic the Hedgehog by making Sonic the Hedgehog 2!"

have not played it yet, but if its as good as Super Mario 64 then it deserves a 10 :).

I agree that it is a good game. Is it a 10? By no means. It was sort of rehashed in some areas like identical boss fights, same graphics, same enemies, and like all mario games same storyline.Rickystickyman

Yes.

Nope. It's the best 3D platformer I've played so far and I put in a lot more hours in it then the first one.

After getting all 242 stars today, I can say that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not overrated. The whole experience was fun and memorable, I really don't have anything negative to say about the game.

I disagree. I believe the game is worthy of a 10. Maybe a 9.8, honestly. EVerything was great about the game to the last green star, but i didnt like a few things. Really just the enemy killing minigames and the fact that you have to get 9999 star bits to unlock the final star. But i found the game to be everything mario galaxy was and more, which was the point of the game, to be a sequel. I think alot of people are hating on the hype because some of it was hard, well whats hard to you, is not to some people. Its not hard to me, i completly beat the game without much problems. And the amount of time to spend playing this game could vary but i spent a good while playing. I feel like if i spend money on a game, i play it to the very end. Meaning every star. People say there is hardly any replay value due to lack of real multplayer interface. Wii was never a big gunner for online play to begin with, so thats really not to be expected. And minigames is your second option, which really woudent add much, You buy Mario Party for minigames, not a full mario adventure game. And teo players on the same screen?? could you imagine the serious camera angle problems trying to follow two characters. I think they went above and beyond with this game and it deserves a high rating. People overlook the good too often to stare at the things that are not there they wanted. If they dont have what you want, it dosent diminish the great elements the game already has. With what the game has, not whati want it to have, they did exeptional with creating yet another amazing Mario game.

to each its own i guess [QUOTE="Rickystickyman"]but after a couple of days I just left the game and played BFBC2. The game seems to lack originality in gameplay.JuarN18

I don't know whats worse, the seven billionth "Which is the worst Zelda" topic of the 700 zillionth {insert game here] overrated? topic. There is NO SUCH THING as overrated and the overrated topics are overdone. Sepewrath

I, for one, though the whole Mario franchise is a slight bit overrated (although fun). If you look at the facts on IGN and even GameSpot, the users gave Galaxy 2 generally lower scores such as 8.4 and 9.1. The truth? Yes, gamers do think Galaxy 2 is overrated.

That's the sad truth about giving people the ability to vote for a game without giving a review. Console fanboys will abuse the voting system to death and give the games 1 or 2's if they never played it. I wish there was a way we can see how user's without writing a review individually gave the game.

This game didn't deserve a 10/10. It wasn't THAT good.
