Super Mario Galaxy closed the gap a bit, but the Xbox360 is still better.

Having played halway through SMG, I have a very hard time calling it the best game of all time. It's only a low AAA or high AA to me.

The Gamecube had Metroid Prime, but that didn't put it over the PS2 and Xbox last-gen.

Same thing applies...

thats an opinion that smg is the best game, because the best game ever cant be decided.  one thing can be decided though.  maverick is the biggest sheep ever.  as for mario, its fun for a while, but once you beat it, theres nothing left to do.  no multiplayer.  no replay value.  its a good game, but definitely not best game ever.  i seriously doubt a platformer will ever be the best game.

GR guys, GR. It is not the best in my opinion, but since soooooooo many people complain about user scores and stuff I am going by the critic, and since the critics have it as the highest, the it is the best.

SMG will get old the 8 millionth time you play through it. I prefer theconstant flood of 360 games coming out. Hell id get a PS3 before Wii any day. Lets not forget 12 360 AAA'sto 4 Wii AAA's. BTW 12 is a bigger number than 4

97.8% is the BIGGEST number of all time, and the Wii has sold the BIGGEST out of this gen consoles, and the 360 has been out LONGER than the Wii, sooooooooo, go fig.

it takes more than one game to catch up...even if it's the highest rated game of all time. the wii still has a ways to go.

It's not the greatest game of all time. 1. There have only been 30 reviews. It will probably end up somewhere in the top 5 when all is said and done. 2. Do you honestly believe that a single game is going to catapult to Wii to some new height? No. It's akin to Zelda as far as the level of hype and anticipation goes. It's a great Nintendo exclusive that will be bought by Nintendo fans. No more. No less.

SMG is a fantastic game, and certainly the best the wii has to offer to this point. It's not the greatest thing I'VE ever played (that honor still goes to my first play through OoT), but still an outstanding piece of work. I still find myself playing the 360 more right now though, I have yet to finish Bioshock, not bored of Halo 3 just yet, I'm switching back and forth between AC and SMG at the moment, oh and Mass Effect comes out next week. To be perfectly honest, I'm enjoying AC and SMG pretty equally too. They're both high quality.

Frankly speaking it's not an adult game. But what's stopping everyone from enjoying it even if it isn't a mature game?

PS2 won last generation in a landslide, but Prime was the best game of last generation, and reason enough for me to get a GC, and quit my snobbish Hermit ways.

Statistically and on paper yes, SMG is the currently the best game ever. But the world isn't played on paper.

In essense the best team on paper isn't nessecarily the best team out there. But theoretically and statisically yes htey are.

GR is more like a rule of thumb. You can't use it for ownage, and you certainly can't use it to claim the greatest game of all time.

You know this because you own it and have played the game? Oh yeah, you don't, and haven't.

While I don't think it's the greatest game of all time (tetris) it is a GREAT and certainly not kiddy. Just because the game has more colors than turd brown, and sh*t green, and the main charectar smiles instead of killing aliens does not make it kiddy in the real world.

No, it's not. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves got a 9.1 out of 10 on GameSpot. Maybe you should research your facts before you make silly statements like that.

GR guys, GR. It is not the best in my opinion, but since soooooooo many people complain about user scores and stuff I am going by the critic, and since the critics have it as the highest, the it is the best.maverick_41

So critics tell us the best game now, eh?

By that standard, I should love a movie like "Casablanca." One of the highest rated movies of all time. But guess what? I hate that movie.

By YOUR standards Chrono trigger is the greatest game OF ALL TIME. I agree. Half life 1 is better than SMG. I agree.

I could go on and on with the infinite number of flaws you've left in your argument.

There is a difference between quality and personal preference.

For instance, Casablanca IS a better movie then Evil Dead.. but i like Evil Dead a helluva lot more.

To use a game; I like Twilight Princess more then any other game, but i don't think it's the "best", or highest quality, game(though i do think it's up there).

Granted, when it comes to "art" there is always some subjectivity. Which is why its very difficult to say any game is THEE best ever. There is usually a way to divide the ok from the good and that from the great, but it's VERY difficult to divide the great from the other great ones. The real trick is that you have to justify your opinions, if you are going to treat them as anymore then your own personal taste.

still, you have to show some respect for the fact that the most critically appraised gameof all time is on theWii, the 2nd on N64 and the 3rd on gamecube. granted they may not have been chock full of the blockbuster titles you can expect on other formats, but i prefer quality over quantity anyday

we cant really base the best game ever by reviews on gamerankings cause they dont have snes, genesis, nes, and other stuff from before 1995 (or something like that) because there would probably be some other games in the top 10 i.e. super mario bros 3, super mario world etc

One of the best games of this generation, that´s for sure.

One of the greatest gameS ever? that´s arguable, but the possibility it´s there.

Its definitly up there. Top 5 easy. This game just has so many "WOW" moments it's unbelievable.
