The same thing that makes GTAIV worth the top spot. Lots of hype and no reviews outside the honeymoon period.

[QUOTE="Zerostatic0"][QUOTE="SpinoRaptor"]Its one of the games that actually lived up to its Hype.Zerostatic0

Yup, as crazy as it sounds GTA IV didn't live up to the hype in some respects but Super Mario Galaxy lived up to everything I thought it would be.

smg wasn't hyped

I hope this was a joke

SMG WASNT HYPED i hope u understand now. next time, say u have problem reading small letters

It was hyped and lived up to it, haters don't change the hype for a game, you seem to have a problem.

ok perhaps it was a bit hyped but nowehere as near hyped as halo 3 and gta iv

Where do you get this crap? Super Mario Galaxy was a "bit" Hyped? Dude, it was one of the most anticipated games of last year. You must be like 15 or something. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario 64, and now Super Mario Galaxy are all on most peoples list of greatest games of all time. Only Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Sunshine are no that list and those are still very good games. You honestly think another entry in Nintendo's flagship franchise wasn't that hyped? I mean maybe you and your preteen little buddies didn't care about it, but any gamer with some sense of history or scope was waiting for it.

lool, one of the most anticpipated? ahaha, halo 3 was the most anticipated of last year, and is, together with GTA IV and Halo 2, the most ancicipated ever released, sorry but no nintendo title stands a chance against halo 3 in terms of hype. H A L O 3

Hey numbnuts, where did I say SMG had more hype Halo 3? What I said was that SMG was one of the most highly anticipated games of last year and anybody with half a brain knows that is true. Secondly, why do you keep on bringing up Halo 3 or GTA IV's hype up? I mean friggin' Madden and Pokemon get a lot of hype too, it doesn't matter to me. Why does it matter so much to you?

h3, cod4, assassin'c creed were all more hyped eveen crysis

Played through it twice (Mario and Luigi) back to back. Never got bored. Always had a great time! If you are a platforming fan, get it now!

If you're one of those people that likes to debate intangible qualities like "hype" on the Internet, maybe not...

The thing is, Mario games do not need to be overly hyped because we all know how well polished they will be.

It's arguably the best 3d platformer ever made.

I'd say it surpassed sm64 on many levels.

Nothing.

I bought it a week ago and while it's good, it's just another SM64 that could have easily been made on Gamecube, including gameplay.

There are some flaws though:

-The camera is always in the wrong place, forcing you to do some tricky diagonal jumps and sometimes making you fall when the camera is positioned to show Mario in 2D.

-Some levels are badly designed.

-Most levels are too easy,

-Surf and ball controlling levels remind me how much I hate the Wiimote.

Still a good game though, but SM64 beats it in everyway possible and SMW beats both.

I agree with you, for me Super Mario world is still the best Mario game ever made, tried to like the 3-D Mario games, and while they are ok I don't see what the fuss is all about, never improved or even equaled the SNES games for gameplay imo.

sneslover

You know you can control the camera with the D-pad and centere with C right?

-Surf and ball controlling levels remind me how much I hate the Wiimote.

sneslover

Those level are great, just need some practice methinks. Especially for when you get to the green star galaxy. I had a lot of fun playing through the ball stage. You can't fault the wiimote here; it's very well implemented on those stages.

I got bored of it after a few days...I don't get the hype for it honestly.killab2oo5

agreed. I think the only reason it got all the hype and good scores was because it was something different.

The commercials make it look like a generic yet colourful 3d platformer, but mo

tarzanell

Generic? No way.

Super Mario Galaxy introduces an awesome gravity system. Not only that but it's platforming perfection. Each level you go to is varied and there are so many environments and so much fun to be had. Plus, it's the best graphics for the system, and I would even say it looks next gen.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the boss fights (minus bowser). Funny you ask this, I'm playing the game right now.

Maybe not as hyped but GOTY nonetheless.
