Why doesn't anybody ever criticize the Super Mario Galaxy games?

I don't either, but I just wanna know... is there NO flaw in the SMG series? You bash Nintendo, Wii and Mario, but not Galaxy. It's kinda confusing :?

I have never seen Mario bashed.

It's because they're Great Games.

And It's Also Because System Wars can't even give two bits about the Wii.

mario is the godfather of plattforming

Its not hollywood and action-y enough with big and loud guns with on-rail sequences, voice overs, and a really *****y dialogue system that everyone likes for some reason.*

And it has no online multiplayer.*

*=obvious troll statements. Can't criticize cause theres nothing to criticize. 10s a 10, but I thought 1 was better than 2 for the central hub.

There are very few moments in both games where the camera is not perfect for the task at hand. Still very good, but could be better..... and then the trash clean up stuff in SMG1 seemed like a waste of time. Not really fun at all. Luckily that only accounts for an insignificant portion of an otherwise brilliant game.

I guess there is also the lack of an "awesome hub" that I've seen people complain about, but it doesnt bother me at all. I love the way it is in SMG2. In and out of levels quickly, never breaking up the fun.

The games are amazing and really tough to criticize. The one criticism that I see most on SW is that "its the same old gameplay for 20 years", or "its a rehash with no creativity" :lol:but anyone who has spent as much as ten minutes playing a Galaxy game would know that is complete BS.

Biggest issue for me is that the games end.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="Jynxzor"] I felt a classic control scheme would have been far better than the half-hearted waggle controls especially when I needed to attack and my damn remote wouldn't register the swing.Jynxzor

There is nothing wrong with them. There are no apparent flaws within them.

While i'm sure it's a brilliant game for most I just couldn't bring myself to finish the first one and never even bothered with the second.

It did what it did really well. I suppose the only critisism I could level at it would be a sometimes dodgey camera angle and some tacked on waggle features that didn't add to the gameplay.

Because even fanboys can't deny the superbness that is Mario Galaxy/2

When it comes to 3D platformers, they are in a league far above anything else.

The only noteworthy complaints I can think of for either game is the way they increased the lifespan. In SMG1, you had to beat the game twice (once as Mario, once as Luigi) in order to unlock the last level, and in SMG2 you had to do a whole series of Green Star missions that just weren't as good as the original Yellow Star quests.

There are flaws and there was a bit of criticism. Mainly about the controls inverting and the camera. But it's not a game that you want to criticize.

I thought the first one was too linear. Haven't finished the first one and I haven't played the second one and I probably never will. Not really a fan of platformers anymore

cuz its a wii title no1 cares lolBladex2k

Neither SMG makes use of WM+ and as such both feature controls that are a little sluggush IMHO.

Also, the "story"/"plot" is real weak. Not in the sense that i'ts not fleshed out, Demon's Soul and ICO make do wihout lengthy cuscenes and dialogue for example, in SMG it's almost cringeworthy.

Yeah, Mario is'nt about storyelling but it's there and makes enough of a presence to feel intrusive so I'm judging it.

Let's see.. I guess I could also critize SMG 1 and 2 for being the exact same game but that's being a little too harsh.

Also, while not doing anyhing particularly wrong is admirable, that'll often fetch a game an automatic 7-8 in my book, what's more important is to do some things exceedingly right IMO.

That's why MGS4 (pretty much an iconic example) manages to be an amazing game while featureing scenes I'm literally embarrased to show my (now X)wife. You owe me a new woman Kojima! Erh, suppose I should'nt joke about that :?

Oh, and not loving SMG can be dangerous.

Personally, I give them 7.5. Before I receive any deaththreats, that's supposed to be in the context that I find a lot of official AAA+ scores rather generous.

SMG and SMG2 don't need story. A lot of story segments for SMG2 were actually scrapped by Miyamoto, as he felt that the logic dictated by a plot would limit the creativity of the designers in terms of level layout and design. The lacking plot is exactly why both SMG1 and 2 are so creative and fresh: their abstractness doesn't have to abide to a central plot of any kind.

Umm you really can't bash games with near perfect scores. Especially the Galaxy games those are thee most innovative and fun Mario's to date, those and the New Super Mario Bros.

I love those games, and they are among my favorite games of all-time, but of course they have some flaws.

I, for one, am not a fan of the motion control specific levels.

Also, the camera, at times, can be a bit frustrating.

To me, some of the purple coin levels in Galaxy 1 feel like a core.

Personally, I think they did right by Galaxy 2 in making the hub world more streamline.

Otherwise, while I agree the story is cliched as hell, this is Mario, not Metal Gear. The story does not really matter.

I guess you could complain about the lack of any story.

Why would you want a story in a Mario game though? It's not gonna be some super indepth mature story-it can't be. I suppose they could go the Paper Mario route, but I don't think it would fit the style too much and it would be a little overbearing.

I'ts really difficult to find bugs that may be criticized in that saga.
