Regardless of whatever console you favor, there is no denying that SMG is one of the best games ever created. But, for those who have played the game for a few days now, in your honest opinion, is it truly the best game ever made??

Im saying YES. And I've been gaming since the ColecoVision. Its just amazing in every aspect. Seriously, even if you dont like the Wii for whatever reason, this game is worth buying the console along with the game & then re-selling it all when you're done. Its THAT good.

I haven't played the game, but I think it's a safe bet that it is not the best game ever made.

I'm only 7 hours in, so take this with a grain of salt. As of now, I would put it in my top games of all time. I don't really have a favorite out of my tops, they're just too different to figure out which is better. If I wanna blow **** up, Vice City is the way to go. Retro, Mario 1 & 3. Adventure, Twilight Princess. 3D platformer, as of now, I would take Mario Galaxy. I have 5 games tied for my top spot because I really don't see a reason to make a decision, nor do I find one to be that much better than the other.

I mostly play RPG's, so this game is not good or bad to me, just indifferent, would never even by it or try it, so no it is definatly not the best game ever made so far for me, Mass Effect is that for my tastes

I need to continue playing it, but it's obviously up there. I tend to value storyline in a game more highly than other aspects (I love story driven games), however, even with a weak story this game has probably the best GAMEPLAY out of any game I've played.

NO WAY. Sure it's a great game, but when you says "EVER" you are comparing it to a LOT of games.

I have to say yes. The smile that this game has brought to me and my wife while playing it is pure joy. The gameplay is the most addicting aspect of it. I simply cant believe my eyes on how well this game plays and captures your imagination. I rank it right up there with the first time that I ever played the original super mario bros on my NES. If anyone ever played that game all the way back in 1985 then you know THAT FEELING. The newer generations simply cannot understand what the original SMB did for us gamers after the videogame crash. Galaxy brings back the memories by going back to the basics of pure,unfiltered, addictive plain and simple fun.

I agree. When I got that letter from the Princess like in Mario 3... oh yeah!

I wouldn't say best game, since it can't be compared to other genres. But it is the best platformer I've ever played and is ranked in my personal top ten.

Damn, I have to play this game and soon. Mario 64 might be my favorite game of all time so to hear such good things about this one makes me want to buy a Wii.

Funny how everyone placed their bets on Twilight Princess to take that crown. Mario Galaxy really came out of nowhere huh? I want a Wii just for this game :(.

I've got about 50 stars and at this point I would say 'Yes'. The game is increadible. It's so much fun to get on a small planet, long jump, and watch yourself orbit the planet.

I haven't played it yet and the suits looks fantastic but I will say it is one of the best 10 games of all time but Super Mario Bros 3 is mine but it will be a game I enjoy.

Let me start of by saying this. I've been playing and enjoying Gears Of War, Crysis and other games in that class and many times went WoW! This is fun.

With Mario Galaxy I went numb, it clearly stated that this game made gaming FUN again. It doesn't had the coolest explosions, the best anti hero, most weapons or whatnot but...let me tell you this...be open minded and enyone will enjoy this. Everything from the music score to the sound of mario walking around and jumping just fits, it's there! I actually had doubts on Mario when it comes to this game, but never again and it told me that yes, you are really going to have to get a Wii to be able to play this game along with SSBB.

Mario Galaxy is quite awesome! Its art design and creativity is unmatched(or nearly so), its musical score is one of the best around(and truelly an incredible leap for the mario games, it's now so epic!), and most importantly it is just pure fun.

*3rd Grand star, boss fight spoiler*

I just beat bowser for the 3rd grand star, and man was that incredible! Not only does bowser look and sound amazing, but the entire fight was gorgeous and fun. The music was amazingly epic and bowser felt threatening(due mostly to him looking and sounding more fierce then ever); despite it not actually being terribly hard.. though this made it very rewarding.

From what I've played so far, no. But then again, that is just my opinion.

I said no because if your comparing to every generation of games then I have played better games. Now as for this generation so far it's up there to being a great game and I'm really enjoying it.

It couldn't be for me, mostly because I don't care for platformers very much. Sounds like it's an excellent addition to the genre and perhaps the best platformer ever, but not game in general.
