Mario Galaxy reviews are starting to come in

Heads up guys, a few reviews of Mario Galaxy are coming in.

Gamepro gave it 5/5, which isn't saying much since it's gamepro

1up gave it a 9.5 and it came from one of the vew decent reviewers on that site. For reference the same guy gave Halo 3 a 9.0

At this rate it looks like this game should get a 9.0 on Gamespot. It definately seems AAA quality, we'll have to wait and see

They'll give it an 8.8 just to be funny.Uncle_Uzi

that would actually be funny

I don't think they'll give ita 10. I think they'll find fault with the ease of the game and with the occasional blip of the camera.

However, I wouldn't be all that surprised if they actually did give it a 10. My guess is 9.5. There just doesn't seem to be much wrong with the game at all. You would have to search hard to find something that you didn't like.

And yes, I think an 8.8 would be hilarious. Especially if Jeff gets the review. Do we know whose it is yet?

Fixed. Gamespot doesn't give out 8.8's anymore. I highly doubt it will get below 9.0 on here, though.

They will make an exception and give SMG an 8.8. You'll see.

if he's the guy whose going to review it....

RIP SMG.

Im really hoping for a 9.0.

I don't want 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 threads about another major game flopping for awhile.

I was under the impression that Galaxy eventually became quite difficult. The devs were actually complaining about how challenging Miyamoto wanted to make it...

I just noticed now. Difficult, and challenging have two very different meanings.

I played it yesterday at Gamestop, the game is amazing. Best controls maybe in forever.Spartan070

And some people claim that the government is controlled by aliens.

Agreed. The gamespot demo was amazing

I would laugh. Unless they change it to 8.5 right afterwards.

Things are looking great for SMG I just can't wait til the GameTrailers review arrives- they always give great reviews in my opinion.Popadophalis

They are the best source for reviews... period.

Gamespot doesn't give out 8.8's anymore.

That's why it would be so funny.

Agreed, They give a perfect review of everything pro and con about a game. Question- is gameinformer credible too??

Well, it's already been established that GS now review games based purely on whether or not they will appeal to haters. So unless Mario Galazy will appeal to people who don't already like and play platformers, Mario or Nitendo games...it will get a 7.

But I did have to laugh at posting the Gamepro review. They give everything 5/5. Basically they are saying that Mario Galazy is as good as The Getaway!

I trust 1up.

I hope the game doesn't have too much variety or else it will be docked ten points. Definitely going to pick it up regardless. kniveshurt18

Oh uh. It has tons of different worlds, themes, powers, and outfits! It's DOOMED!

if he's the guy whose going to review it....

RIP SMG.

Thats because he doesnt like video games, he has never given anything 9.0 or above. the highest thing that I could find was CoD3 with an 8.8, which is a junk review because that game sucked in comparison to CoD2. he needs keep to sports games and licenced game reviews where he belongs.

if he's the guy whose going to review it....

RIP SMG.

kingfire11

AAA material.

ugh, people do NOT know how to take a joke.

We realize it can't get an 8.8, thus why it being funny.

GET IT?!?!?!?

knowing gamespot, 8.0. Why? Not on 360.dream431ca

get over it.

yup, challenging can be something you need to play a few times over, make sure you get it right. think before you do it, and use some skill and strategy to complete what ever it is.

Difficult can be something like, I need to jump over there...but it is impossible for me to jump that far.

For example.

so...

gamesTM: 9/10
GamePro Germany: 94%
Famitsu: 38/40
1up: 9.5
ONMuk: 97%
Deeko: 10/10
GamePro: 5/5

nicestart!

at the end of the day it's just an opinion. If a reviewer doesn't like it it'll get a bad score. it's not a reviewers job to give games high scores, it is the game's job to convince the reviewer that it is deserving of a high scorethe_h_bomb

Good post. I agree.

Yes, if Aaron or Jeff reviews it then RIP.

You'll see some grand hypocrisy if this game gets and 8.5.

Every other site will score it above 9 and Cows will say No scores but GS count. While sheep will be too busy playing SMG to even be on System wars

Nah, Jeff or Aaron would give this game a 9.

Currently it's 96% on gamerankings.com.

Looks like a GOTY contender.

Good post. I agree.

And yet GS reviews are always the ones that have the most fuss about them. Ironically, many of them I disagree with or are poorly justified.
