i played super mario galaxy .....sorry people but......

i recently got my hands on super mario galaxy. i was really hyped, being as i grew up with mario and played every single mario title up to mario sunshine, including the mario rpg's.

anyhow....

i have to say, its a good game, a solid game...but im sorry people but im not buying into the hype this game is getting. GOTY? not by far.

i mean the graphics are great, the gameplay is fun..its a definite 7-8 out of 10. but for most sites and their reviewers to keep rewarding this game perfect 10's just goes to show that either someone at nintendo is handing out some x-mas gifts early, or their drinking the kool-aid.

i think we gamers, reviewers just assume this game deserves the highest score due to its pedigree. but i ask this, if this game featured blinx or sonic or crash....would this game have enjoyed the endless adulation and praise it has gotten?

i just didnt think it was perfect. good? sure? but perfect? not close.

Strangely enough, I had SMG and Fire Emblem: RD to chose from yesterday, and I chose fire emblem. Forget the review, this game is great. Awsome.

What ever floats your boat. Unless its the sinking cow one.

People thought Metroid and Zelda had a "guaranteed"pedigree.

Both flopped.

Mario deserves its score.

5 minutes in gamestop was all I needed to learn that.

I still want to play the game. I mean, it is still a Mario game.

But I haven't felt the same about them since they hit 3D. I never got a lot of time playing Super Mario World, so SMB3 is still my favorite.

Ive gone ahead and thought that months ago, this game will be rated high because its Mario 64 again. I wont be the slightest bit suprized when I pick it up and think "its alright...."

Are you sure you weren't playing Ratchet and Clank by mistake?Jandurin

I'm sure people said the same thing about Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double Dash, Starfox Adventures, Metroid Prime 3, and Twilight Princess.

People thought Metroid and Zelda had a "guaranteed"pedigree.

Both flopped.

Mario deserves its score.

Bread_or_Decide

I can't say anything about Metroid, since I've never played one. But Zelda... I know it flopped, but its still Zelda. I know our opinions don't count like the GS scores do, but between Mario and Zelda, I think the latter translated to 3D better.

I have yet to play Twilight Princess or Mario Galaxy yet though, so my opinion can still be changed lol

97.5% on GameRankings.

9.5 on GameSpot.

ive played it a total of 8 hours.

the comment about ratchet and clank..:roll: you can try to turn this into system wars...but what does that acheive?

what ever happenned to peoples critical eye? what is it about mario that just makes people turn of their radar and accept what ever their told to accept. this wouldnt be the cas ewith any other game. i mean even halo3 had its detractors.

like i said its a really good game. but perfect? no

I'm far from a huge Wii fan (system just doesn't have enough good games,) but I too have been playing Galaxy and if you think the game only deserves a "7 or 8" you're either really, really high or you have terrible taste.

The 9.5 rating is spot on in my opinion (if they weren't using the .5 system I think it could've easily been a little higher, too,) and it's most definitely a contender for GOTY. Everything about it is so polished, so refined, and so perfectly implemented. As platformers go - this game not only got everything 100% right, it exceeded every standard set by the best of the genre in years past.

Get over it.

Second of all, how do I turn something into what it is?

Thirdly, SMG > Halo3. Even though they can't be compared and they got the same score.

Well at least you think it's better than Bioshock, to which you gave a 1.0.....:roll:

So I gues we can safely assume R&C was a 10 and Galaxy would have been an 11 if it were a Sony game...

I believe it was a game meatwad was playing in an episode of aqua teen hunger force.

*edit* the adult swim water mark in the lower right hand corner made it a little easy.

What if...under the mask Master Chief is actually Mario?

Escobahr

Again, you gave Bioshock a 1.0. Critical eye? No. Fanboy? Yes.

yah well the sad part anymore is that you cant say anything other than praise about a game, or it gets immediately locked by a mod. Escobahr

Maybe they'll get M. Night Shyamalan to direct the Halo movie with that kind of a twist.

When anyone clicks on your name, the first thing that pops up is 'Recent Reader Reviews'. Bam. Right there, you gave Bioshock a 1.0.

Busted.

I'm sure he didn't mean to put the point between the 1 and 0. In fact its actually a TEN.

It better be a ten....

..

well as far as the bioshock thing goes...ive never rated a game on this website ...ever im not sure why it shows bioshock as a 1.0...u got me on that one. i played bioshock alot and would have esily given it an 8. but hey way to take an obvious glitch and try to make it into a point.

you know people call 360 owners lemms and PS3 owners cows, accuse them of defending their games or consoles with a legendary wrath, but ill say this there is no more harder fanboys than nintendo owners.

i mean god forbid you think the new mario game is just good or really good. you have to think its a work of masterpiece that could never be second guessed.

I dont like Mario as a whole either... but our opinions mean nothingtherealmcc0y

Are you forgetting about Mario Sunshine? Why didnt it get 95%+ on most reviews? Peope hold Mario to a high standard and review accordingly
