and i really do get why its game of the year between tight controls and just the craziest gameplay ever (possibly) and getting through levels and no longer knowing which way was up it made for one awesome ride. So for those who played it what did you think could be improved in the game? Also if you didnt like it why not?

Actually to totally "beat" the game one has to get all the stars with mario and luigi. I got them all with mario and now am working on it with luigi. 242 stars total and that's in no way "simple".

How can you say SMG was the same? It radically evolved from any previous Mario and any previous 3D platformer. Did you even play the game?

I mean, are you expecting the game to make you dinner or something?

the gaming industry strongly disagrees. man, you cant really enjoy any game, i feel sorry for you. if you think SMG is same old, then you wont really like 99% of all games out there that are just same old, you certainly wont enjoy any FPS games so stay away from that genre. in fact, stay away from everything, because its all just the same.

No "tedious" is playing through ten fps's that are basically the same game over and over again. ;)

I actually agree with you, to me it seemed like any other platformer. I mean really what does this game do that is so different to others?

Bright Colours - done before.
Jumping - done before.
Spinning - done before.
enemies - done before.
collectables - done before.
Small Planets - NOT DONE BEFORE, but heres the thing though, im pretty sure that Mario Sunshine was the first with a character using a talking water spray, people are making it seem like this planet thing is so great, but it is actually how the entire game was made that makes it so good. Not just the fact that you can go upside down.

So, it might be the same, but it is still 1 heck of a game, btw im on 102 stars :)

please, oh please do not talk about games youve never played fanboys.

super mario galaxy has the same concept as every other game. but how the game re applies the concept makes it excellent. the level design, the gravity effects, the controls, and the look off the game is just really really great. call me a fanboy, but hey its the truth

SMG is easily the best game I've played in the past couple years. It definitely deserved GOTY; it boggles my mind that some people try to deny the greatness of this game.

Did you gets all 120 stars and unlock the second ending along with unlocking playable Luigi? Then try beating the game with Luigi. It is a pain mostly because Luigi controlls so awkwardly compared to Mario. Though you will eventually get used to it. Atleast it gives more replay value to the game and gives you more of a challenge.

As some people have already mentioned it already, i may not need the tags...

---------------SPOILER-----------------

The game truly shines from the get-go till about 80-90 stars in. After reaching the 60 star mark, that incentive to 'fully complete' dies down quite a lot especially once you beat Bowser. From then (80-90) on till 120, the difficulty ramps up, and having to revisit some old galaxies will start to feel tired-out. Although the game overall is not too hard, there are one or two challenges which will start to eat your lives away.

After, unlocking Luigi, it was a let-down to be honest. Challenges are repeated again with very few changes (mostly from title, dialog - Luigi meeting Luigi was funny though) and the big difference ws the handling of the characters. Luigi slides like butter on a hot knife, but runs a little faster (i think, that's what it feels like anyway). After repeating every challenge once again you unlock 2 more and 2 'photos' which were very nice. But after that, i was expecting more for a reward. :( Luigi's Galaxy should have been changed in colour pallette, different enemy behaviours or different enemies. The bosses should have been made harder and slightly different (patterns) for Luigi. and the music could have been slightly remixed.

i thought it was all too simple and easy. i never really felt challenged. i enjoyed it, but that kept it from being greatcliff122316

I felt like this up until the Purple Coins which added enough difficulty to keep me happy. And I heard its even hard with SPOILERS Luigi

How did people find this hard? It was just run around in one big circle. Keep moving and it's grand. Mario Sunshine was infinitely harder.

It didn't give me the same feeling i had when playing Mario 64 but it's an amazing game. I could easily play this again and again, and not many games make me feel like doing that.

Yeah I figured that out after a while, and I don't use guides or internet help. You're also right about Sunshine I couldn't beat that game.

I thought it was a memorable gaming experience. For the people who say its too easy, I can understand why, I mean it took me only about 8 hours to beat the storyline. I'm still working on getting all 120 stars though (some of the purple coin ones are tough!).
