It is an amazing, sexy, fabulous little game. But, Mr.
Murphy Law is clearly spitting pus shards at my face; I have
a lot of university work, suddenly, just as this arrives in
the post. Before, when this fabulous game was not in my
hands (or any fabulous game for that matter), I had little
work.

I want to drink Baileys and play this all day, damnit.

. I think the mariokart games is the most fun i have ever
had gaming and i wasn't even stoned.

I always defended Nintendo's decision to stick with old
school midi-based music in their recent Mario/Zelda/Metroid
games, but the orchestrated soundtrack in SMG delivahs the
goods.

it's like the game is constantly saying 'hey guys, remember
when games were fun? no? well here's a reminder.' it has
more magic and mystery and beauty and charm and pure
fun
in one little asteroid than can be found in the last
ten years of videogame history. it's just so, so . . .

You should have played the N64 version then, also GoldenEye
on multiplayer back then was the bomb diggity.

21 stars: stopping for the night: it's like Super Mario 64
with lush rendering, plus the best bits of Mario Sunshine,
plus that added Wii-mote loveliness and crazily creative
worlds & game-play.

It is helping me fail my course.

It is beautiful, crazy, polished, abstract and
hyper-imaginative. I haven't been blown away by a game like
this in years. I'm only like seven stars in, but in those
seven stars I've seen more imaginative gameplay twists and
turns than most games have in their entirety.
It's like the more bizarre elements of the 2D marios mixed
with Mario 64, but better. This makes a Wii worth buying.

Oh yeah, I love all the old-school references! The
first time I went down a pipe and it played that old 8-bit
sound, and the old-schoolish rooms some of those pipes lead
to... awesomeness.

the first shitty-ness of the game is encountered at the

flashbacks. hope they make up for it with an ice-galaxy.

Maybe I've become crap at games, but I don't find it all
that easy. It's not that hard, either; it's perfectly
balanced. I did find the last two Gamecube/Wii games piss
easy, and that was to their detriment. This luckily doesn't
suffer from the same fate, though of course it's not nearly
as tough as the older NES/SNES Mario titles. But I can't
complete them any more, so that doesn't bother.

The second Bowser Jr level is a right fucking annoyance: the
one where you got to make your way to a flying ship and then
fire shells at his one whilst he's firing cannons and those
shark-bullets at you. I'm sorry, I can't remember the
technical names any more). Took me about fifteen minutes to
complete that level, and about 5 lives.

Also, some of the comet levels are a right pain in the neck.
Still, I love the old-school elements--especially when it
becomes almost pure S.M.B. platforming with fucked-up
gravity. Genius.

Yeah, you're right about the old-school elements. I often
suddenly feeling like I'm playing one of the old 2D Mario
games during a "level" in this, and it is a fine moment.

The only disappointing thing about this game is how well
it's selling. I've heard that it has underperformed quite
badly in Japan and in North America. What is wrong with
these people? Maybe if Mario shot lead instead of cute
crystals into marine troopers instead of strange abstract
creatures, and if the soundtrack was rock, and if Princess
Peach was a HOT XXX Chick, it'd do a bit better in the West.
Don't know why the Japanese aren't buying it, though;
they're probably too busy on their portables.

yeah, and if people aren't buying it then it means nintendo
will be more hesitant to make creative games like this in
the future. which would be a true shame, since this is
the greatest game ever.

agreed!
the 64 version was alright, but the snes version was (and
still is) good fun.
i think this is my second post in this thread bad mouthing
the 64, so i'm gonna say goldeneye was GOOD and the zelda
games were quite possible at their peak with ocarina of time

[Wii] Super Mario Galaxy Becomes #1 Ranked Game of All-Time
Posted by Ramon Aranda on 11.19.2007

Someone actually beat Link.

For years and years, "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"
(N64) stood alone as the #1 ranked game of all- time
according to Gamerankings.com. It was thought as an
impossible feat for someone to come along and knock it off
it's perch. To the surprise of many, "Super Mario Galaxy"
has now become the highest ranked game of all-time.

Galaxy which now sits pretty at an average rating of 97.8%
tops Ocarina of Time by only .2% which is now #2 at 97.6%.
Of course it can still change as reviews for Galaxy continue
to arise but for the time being, we have a new champion.
Congratulations Mario!

Stay tuned for 411mania's review of Galaxy in the upcoming
week.

i never rated mario 64 that highly, and sunshine was a tad
shit. i wonder if i'll like this... i'm a huge 2d mario fan,
but 3d marios never really gripped me. well, mario 64 did at
first, but that game got sort of annoying in the later
levels. they weren't so much fun as fucking annoying pieces
of shit, really.

i'm probably picking this up though, if only to actually
make the wii purchase worth it, cause twilight priness
certainly wasn't (and that makes me very, very sad as a
zelda fan).

If you didn't like Mario 64, then you probably won't like
this, despite the many old-school references.... there
probably aren't enough to counter-balance your disliking of
Mario 64 (and Mario Sunshine!)

nonsense, this completely refines the experience and makes
it more unique to boot. you'll never play another game like
this.

now play it and weep with joy like the rest of us.
