Its close........1% away. You can not deny the possibility that SMG is really close. SO far many reviewers, even harsh and unjust ones, have been praising this game. Is it possible? How would you guys feel that, after almost a decade of Zelda: OoT dominance, it falls to SMG? I'm sure many of you will still consider Zelda: OoT the best game ever....but, eventually, gamerankings might have to disagree w/ you

I would feel really happy to get a game that I'll probably enjoy even more, making my next purchase (a nintendo wii) worth it just because of this game (:

I love OoT to death, but both are incredible games.

Ecstatic. Honestly the industry is in trouble if it can't top a game thats 9 years old. I guess for it's time though OoT was perfect so it is understandable why it's held that spot for so long.

I wouldn't care, because the combined opinions of the general gaming media doesn't change my personal experience with any game.

I don't really care since I'm a Nintendo fan, even though Legend of Zelda is my favorite franchise Super Mario Bros. for the NES is where it all started for me I might not be gaming if it wasn't for Super Mario Bros.

When I first got Super Mario Galaxy, I didn't understand the amazing reviews. The game was great... but not revolutionary mostly because of difficulty.

Now that I am on my 80th star... I am amazed! Congradulations Nintendo. You = God! ^__^

If any game deserves to do it, SMG does.

Though honestly, I think Metroid Prime belongs at #1.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it... but Galaxy isn't the best Mario game ever made. It's awesome, amazing, nearly perfect... but it's a top 5 game, not #1 in my book. SMB3 and Mario 64 are slightly better, in my opinion. Plus, OoT is the closest thing to perfection when it comes to gaming.

If it's going to stay at number one, more than half the reviewers will have to give it a 10, and I really don't see that happening, especially with the amount of reviews that it should expect to be getting.

My #1 will always be Mario64

then Windwaker

then Bioshock

then Halo 3 (for some reason it was just so amazing to me, no clue why, I always found Halo 2 boring)

Majora's Mask was an awesome game but it wasn't as good as OoT IMO.

i really hope so as Zelda has gotten so stale by this point, i dont want them to keep basing the games off the success of their greatest, they need to take some risks. Also galaxy is the funnest game ive ever played.

If it would dethrone my favorite game ever I'd welcome it. I wish every game scored higher then OOT. That would mean I'd be in Video game Paradise.

I think it has a good chance to dethrown OoT. Both are superb games either way. I just wish the zelda series will get out of this hole they're in.

I really couldn't care less. I'm a huge OoT fan, but even I know that if there were any reviewing publications around when SMB3 was released, it would have had a higher rating that OoT. There is simply NOTHING to complain about with that game.

If SMG gets it, then I definitely think it deserves it, with all the cynics out there that there are.

I would be insanely ANGRY.

And it wouldn't change the fact that OoT IS the best game ever.

EVER.

Miyamoto said that Twilight Princess would be the "last console Zelda as you know it" which means it will have a big change in the next game.

Wow, I can't believe I overlooked that quote. Hopefully the next zelda will breathe new life into the series.

SMG only has about 20 reviews so far, about 40 more will come, and it is bound to go down, many publications might give it 4/5 or 9/10 which will really lower the score, but it will probably stay in the top 10.

I only have 20 stars in Mario and have beaten Zelda OOT a few times and still think nothing can beat it at this time so now it should not.

And OoT dethroned? NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

SMG is amazing, but the only game that deserves to dethron zelda is another zelda game.

sorry zelda OoT was perfect. even the scores were perfect. SMG is an excellent game but it didnt receive the same critical praise zelda did. deserves to be right next to zelda. seriously though OoT is untouchable until i dunno when

Eh, I'd say it'd be about time. OoT was a great game, but I think it could've been better if the difficulty was increased personally. Beating the game without dying on my first playthrough was pretty surprising.

Zelda Fans = Mario Fans

But to answer your question I would think it's cool because the game is amazing. I don't think it's going to happen though becasue scores tend to go down over time instead of up.

well actually we're not. I loved OoT when I first played it. I never even knew it was as popular as it was/is until i got the internet (a long time after I clocked it)

Galaxy is good, but Oot was revolutionary. it rewrote the rules fr gaming as we know it. Galax definitely has not.

If SMG overtakes Oot I wil not care, as I now OoT is a much better game, and one organisations rating can't change that, EVER.

zelda is my fav franchise, but i wouldn't be crushed if it was dethroned. Afterall, it's been there for ages and would still be considered among the best games ever, most importantly by myself(afterall, why should i be so bent out of shape by what everyone else thinks). As amazing as SMG is, OOT was all of that at its time plus it was even more revolutionary and new(though SMG is amazingly fresh, dont' get me wrong.. just that OoT was pretty much unmatched)

Anyways, review standards change with time among other things. Even if SMG was ahead of OOT, it doesn't mean it truelly is a better game(just like OOT being at the top right now doesn' tmean it is truelly the best game ever... though it is widely regarded as such, that's beside the point :D)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that i'm only part way into galaxy, so i can't say that it is better or worse then oot. Though i will say i have been blown away by this game, it is the most fun i've had in awhile!

it wont happen. NO game will dethrone it on gamerankings or metacritic.

IT released when there were far few critics. and when it released many of its functions had not become standard.

We might not see a revolution like OOT ever again. I mean plain and simple not one game will ever get that wow factor.

Yes Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Zack and Wikki, and even Mario Galaxy have the whole fresh feel here and there.

Halo 3 is loaded with features and content.

Orange Box is a great price value.

Games like Call of Duty 4, Crysis, and Gears of War all make you go wow graphically.

But never on the level of OOT did at its time.

The game is still amazing to this day, maybe it has been surpassed when compared to modern games. But for its time it was in a league of its own.
