1up is a genius for finding this out.

Don't forget to click the blatant advertising of Halo 3 in the first paragraph.

This is why people call Halo overrated, overexposed, and overhyped.

Halo must have copied Wolfenstein 3D. In Wolf 3D, you fought enemies. And then you walked around for a while. And then you fought more enemies.

1up keeps showing how desperate it is to grab the attention of possible subscribers lol. I guess a "going out of business" company desperately tries to get everyone's attention... This isn't 1up's first time too... they do it like every week. How sad for a company.

He doesn't need to add "imo," obviously you noticed it was opinion as did everyone else (well, atleast those with a 9th grade education).

It's especially disappointing, because 1UP's previews are usually excellent, some of the best out there. Don't know what they were thinking here. It's the most absurd comparison I've ever seen.

What? You mean Super Mario Galaxy is copying Halo 3's idea of avoiding enemies by jumping on mini-planets? Another site to cross off the "sites I trust" list.

I actually read the entire preview, and I'm satisfied with the information.

I suggest for you all to actually read this. You may find something that you didn't know before.

I'm not too sure, but they revealed some stuff that I didn't know before.

Other than the "trickster comets" there's nothing new.

But, after the idiotic Halo comparison, I don't blame anyone for not reading past the first sentence.

Halo invented that. Didn't ya know?

Halo invented the FPS genre. And lighting, as well as sound FX.

I'm pretty sure games didn't have graphics before Halo either.

There weren't any games before Halo, period.

You made a new account to post that??

:lol:

He doesn't need to say "imo" because he said "people call Halo overrated", so it's not even his opinion he's expressing. Furthermore, even if it was his opinion, everything he says is his opinion. Do you want him to say IMO after every statement he makes?

Haziqonfire

You could relate any game in any wierd, unimaginable, and unneccessary way. Are you implying that every preview should relate Super Mario Galaxy to Halo 3, to Heavenly Sword, to Lair, to Metroid, to Zelda, to Viva Pinata, and to Bioshock? I could probably find something similar in all those games.

While it is annoying to once again hear Halo 3 being mentioned when talking about another game, the whole article is nothing but praises after praises, so I'm happy! All that matters is that Galaxy sounds absolutely fantastic! :)

Actually I think you made a error, halo is overrated not Mario. Halo is for gamers who started playing when xbox 1 came out and halo is ok but it really isn't that great.

i hope this is a joke thread based on a really crappy preview
