Mario Galaxy is incredibly great. You have to stick with it though because getting the first 10 stars or so can be boring. After that it's the best game on the Wii so far.

I actually liked Spring Mario... I thought Bee Mario and Boo Mario, although fun, were kind of annoying to control.

I like Spring Mario also. It is just a shame we don't see a few more levels with the Ice Flower power up and and Fireflower but overall a truly amazing game that will be remebered.

This thread is getting weird :shock:

JuarN18
as weird as this may sound, i actuslly want the wii pretty badly. SMG, MP3, and SSBB are huge draws to me. The problem is, those are literally the only draws, and i wont buy a console to play 3 games. Maybe when the get really cheap in the next year or two.

SMG has great graphics, great music and even better gameplay. Honestly the graphics are spectacular, their so smooth and colourful. SMG is pure awesomeness.

I ahve a similar viewpoint but i'm more interested in the third party stuff that's coming under the radar. Fatal Frame, Major Minor, Fragile and King's Story are far more interesting to me at this point then the usual Nintendo franchises

True, I bought my Wii for MP3/SMG/LOZTP & SSBB , but now things like Fatal Frame 4, Tales of Symphonia 2 , Mario kart ect have me more interested, and maybe no more heroes, I didnt like the look of it but its probably good.

I want more Wii games this year than 360 games lol, then again PC is my multiplat filler, so the 360 only has a few such as Fable 2 ................

oh great, another "you're not a true gamer if you dont buy smg"

Not really. I'm just saying that experiencing Galaxy is experiencing gaming at its finest.

Disagree. I really didn't think SMG was that great, even after beating it and getting a significant amount of stars. Sure there was a good amount of variety, but it wasn't a game that I would readily pay the amount I did for it. I simply have higher expectations from my games.

Man. What kind of expectations must you have, to have not enjoyed SMG; one of the best platformers to come along in years, and one which has literally revitalized the long dying genre?

That being said I realize its not perfect, but if you can't at least appreciate it for what it does (I hope you do), you might want to find another hobby that doesn't involve being disappointed in 95% of the games available on the market.

Edit; I read one of your responses, and now your point makes more sense. You expect more from presentation than Galaxy provides for you, which is understandable. Make no mistake however, that it still has some of the best gameplay on the market, especially of the platformer variety.

It was a really incredible game. God awful plot aside (and no I won't let it go just because it's Mario) it was a near flawless production...

... but it didn't stick in my mind for very long. It was fun and exciting, but that was it. It didn't feel like a real EXPERIENCE like a Metal Gear Solid title or BioShock. I remember it for being entertaining,nothing more. That to me is a bummer.

I liked the Spring Mario, sure it was difficult to control relative to everything else, but the animation and sheer novelty was hella fun.

I agree that SMG is a game every gamer should play though. If you have a Wii, this is an instant-buy.

Not interested in Zelda? I'd suggest mercury meltdown too, only $20. Good if you're a puzzle fan. Plus RE4, Super paper mario, and No More Heroes would all be good to pick up. Mario Kart is coming out this year too. There's more of course, but just naming a few. Or do none of those interest you?

After hours of stressful trial and error, I just got Luigi's Purple Coins star. That brings me to 103 in total. It left my nerves all frazzled but I'm very proud of myself. I hope that's as hard as it gets.

I completely agree. SMG has been one of the few games I have truly loved and enjoyed in the past...year or so. What, with nothing but Shooters as of late, SMG was like a breath of fresh air in the gaming world.

People complaining about the spring suit...you only need it for one level..."Bouncing Down Cake Lane" in Toy Time Galaxy. "Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser" level in Toy Time can easily be defeated without the spring suit. You can also defeat the boss in "Bouncing Down Cake Lane" without the spring suit.

That and Mario's annoying voice.

I seriously have to mute the volume when Mario yells out, "SUPER MARIO GALAXYYYYYYYYY!!!" in the beginning. Other than that, I'm good.

You're serious? :|

I thought that was epic. It really got you into the mood.

By far the best game i played last year, and the best game since Twiilight Princess. I really believe it's way beyond games like Bioshock or Call of Duty 4.

There was nothing i didn't like about this game. Every thing, including the spring suit, was brilliant and wonderfully executed. Even the little story book side story was charming and fun.

I've heard some people complain about the camera, but i thought it was one of the better non-fixed cameras in gaming. At some points i would have liked a little more control, but generally the camera positioned itself perfectly.

Kameo was great, but nowhere near the level of excellence of SMG. Also, the controls in Kameo were very awkward with some of the transformation playable characters.

Its lots of fun so far, I have about 45 stars I think. Great game but so far I do see why it recieved GOTY. IMO Bioshock and Mass Effect were both better games. It is the best platformer Ive played in a long time though, and ill save my final opinion until ive beaten the main story and get get a lot of more stars.

I had some issues with not being able to control the camera. Most of the time I'm used to having the camera behind Mario, so that took some getting used to, and it's just annoying when I have to swim into something.

The ones you've named had some pretty significant flaws. Mario Galaxy had flaws, too, but they were very, very minor.

I think it was a desereved game of the year because it didn't have the best graphics of a 360 or a PS3 game but it was awesome with level design and controls. The only flaw I would say it has was it was a little too easy.
