How many of you guys played super mario galaxy? 1 or 2. I feel like even if you dont really like platformers or nintendo smg is a must play game of the generation.

your thoughts?

I think most people have. Certainly one of the generation's "must plays".

I´ve played Galaxy 2,and while I can see it´s a good game(great if you like platformers),I wasn´t very fond of it.

Played the first. Great challenging game (to get all 120). Platformers aren't close to my favorite genre unless they are wrapped into a big adventure form like DK64 or Banjo Kazooie. It was just a simple game filled with genious gameplay mechanics that was just always fun. Must play? Yeah, if you like platformers. Must play for those who don't play platformers? Probably, because it's one platforming game that you will probably think is fun.

Still waiting on getting a cheap SMG2.

Am I the only person on Earth who was bored by Mario Galaxy 1 and 2? Don't get me wrong its not a bad game, but I failed to see how it was considered one of the best games of this gen.

I still haven't played through SMG2 entirely, but SMG was very, very good. I'm not even a platformer guy myself, and I still enjoyed it.

I played both of them and enjoyed both, but Galaxy 2 is my personal favorite. I was able to play the Galaxy games much better (especially learning how to swim properly) by playing Galaxy 2.

Both great games. Especially number 2.. I remember playing Galaxy before Galaxy 2 came out thinking "this can't get much better", then Nintendo smacked me in the face with Galaxy 2, thus resulting in me questioning everything I believe in life.

I played both. I have SMG1. It's a great game, but it's not my style. And the second one was not needed. One Galaxy was enough.

lol same here. And I decided to play a bit of SMG2 yesterday and was again thinking "how the hell is Ninty gonna top this game?" Hopefully they can put me in my place again, cause I am really lost as to how they could possibly make a better 3d platformer.

Makes no sense. Good games with better sequels aren't needed?

I would agree had it not been for the fact that SMG2 is so much greater than SMG. If they can somehow make another jump that big then I wouldn't mind an SMG3.

Great games, but personally im not a huge fan. They took what made 3d platforming different from 2d platforming and tried to remove that. Galaxy 2 is about as close to a 2d platfmormer as a 3d platformer is going to get. But thats the problem I love 3d platformers vastly over 2d.

I disagree entirely. I could go back to SM64 and play it again forever, I can't really see myself ever going back to SMG. SM64 was pretty much flawless for me, but things like aiming at stars and shaking to spin kind of bothered me in SMG. Felt like Wii-gimmicks were added just because it was on the Wii, not for the benefit of the game.

Lol, SMG could have abused use of the wii controller so much instead they implemented it in a way that wasn't so overwhelming. I thought they made the controls perfect and DEFINITELY not just add as a wii gimmick. The sections where the Wii controller was used for movement was limited.

Just platformers in general, or specifically Wii ones?
