super mario galaxy does disappoint hardcore players in terms of exploration. it's pretty linear, that's the only part of the game that sucked for me. that, and the first 60 stars are extremely easy to get.
other than that, though, it's a great game, and playing it made me really badly want a wii, lol
Ok i know everyone including me hates mario but common give it a chance at first super mario galaxy is childish and shitty but after the first stage i gonna say that is the most fun game i ever played !!! correct decision!!
8.0 ? it got a 9 and even more than that the gameplay boring play the game ull see cod4 bioshock mario galaxy doenst apeal to me crysis you need to have a mega computer to play that unchatrted is goty theres no comparison its the best
uncharted was amazing...i'm still playing it, you can't say it sucks if you haven't played it, it combines platforming and third person shooting with a great story in one!!! it's awesome!!!! i've beat it 6 times!!!
wii sucks, and xbox 360 and xbox are better than wii, its like saying crap is better than xbox. orange box rules and only 5 or 6 or 7 year olds buy wii
XBOX 360 users are the lowest form of life known to man. They are stupid dumb-fucks who buy what Microshaft says its kewll and laugh at their own farts!!! SMGalaxy is to good for them, they dont even deserve to be allowed to play it, its like dressing pig with a tuxedo...a waste!!! Did i reach your level of fanboyism?!?
Woah there are way to many 360 fanboys here. I am sorry guys but Super Mario Galaxy did fantastic, I loved it and so did others. It deserved game of they year 2007. To Waffle Boy, I can name 6 gateways, the Fountain, the Bedroom, the Kitchen, the Garden, the Engine Room and the Terrace. Super Mario Galaxy pawns Halo 3, Bioshock and all those noob Xbox 360 games and by the time Xbox 360 starts it's good games people all have Wii. OWNED!!
thats what you think,i have played on super mario bros,and on super mario 64,and i dont hate super mario,but i hate wii console,and i think halo3 and bioshock is way better than super mario.Have you ever played halo3 or bioschock?
well I know im host but yeah I played those games. smg is way better but halo3 is my 2nd place fav game. you may get bored of it when you beat the game but its till a fun game.
nice vid , but i think the orange box should have won, honestly 5 games for 50 bucks and new game realeases cost 50 for one copy each also the orange box games are fun
Good news for Nintendo and Nintendo fans like me! Its games like this which makes us (some of us) come back for more. It hasnt got a short life span its easy to learn the controls. At first I was amazed by the graphics but the controls was the most natural thing about it. A very enjoyable game that doesn't lack anything in my opinion.
I find it odd that SMG gets so much praise in the States, but is mysteriously less popular in its home country, Japan. Around the time of its release, PS3 sales in Japan exceeded sales of the Wii. What is even more odd is that Japan doesn't have the same problem with Wii shortages that the States do.
I haven't heard anything about sales since I found that out, however. Do a search on google and see for yourself.
I didn't say that it wasn't doing well. It is doing well. It's Nintendo, I don't think they'll ever do horrible in Japan, compare the gamecube to here and Japan and you'll see what I mean. I did say, however, that's become seemingly less popular in Japan recently. That doesn't mean it's not doing well, just not as well as usual.
a mario game??? Nintendo beats a dead horse and wins this GOTY award?? I guess the Halo, Bioshock, Crysis and COD4 people should have thought more about making it "easy to play for everyone"! c'mon!
how did nintendo beat a dead horse> they added gravity and spherical worlds, what no other game ha ever done. they revived a genre that was dead for he past 6 years. try PLAYING mario galaxy first, and you will see that it truly deeserves. only the people that WANT to hate it will find it boring
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fair enough but I watched this game in action for about an hour and didn't see much different from the last few mario games (like Sunshine or the other 3D styles). The gravity thing is a gimmick that's been used by a ton of games before and much more fun in Prey. Spherical worlds is just another way to do 3D scrolling except..WOW, you're on a ball! Big deal. I'm not really impressed by any of these Mario updates in galaxy.
lol. list 2 games that use gravitational pull. it is not a gimmick in any way. ask the big guys like gametrailers and ign that review it. the game has incredible art, incredible graphics, perfect controls, and it provides a marriage of old and classic, with new and innovative. once again, try actually playing it. and not comparing it to other games by what you see on youtube. remember, find 2 other games that use gravity
Oh sorry for the double post but don't get me wrong MSG is a great game I'm just knocking Gamespot for being retarded.I honestly believed that Bioshock would win.Thats why I only trust XPlay and Reviews on the Run now.Gamespot can suck my balls
Gamespot has really been weird over the past years.They gave good games like Mass Effect,Kane and Lynch bad scores for what they should have gotten.They gave Kane and Lynch 6.5 and everywhere else 9 and I think its around a ten.they are making a movie based on that game.Must be good to make it a movie right?Mass Effect got only 8.5 but critics and reviewers gave it 9 and 10
Holy shit I wrote that over a year ago. It was just me venting about Gamespot. They still suck at giving scores they should just say if its good or not, like Yahtzee. I still believe Bioshock or COD4 should have won. Maybe they just wanted people to stop buying mini games on the Wii
This was quite a surprise to me. I hoped Galaxy would have won, but I didn't expect it. That's because Gamespot (nowadays) usually prefers mature/shooter games, rather than cheery platformers etc.
But anyways, great thing it won. I've played Galaxy alot, and I personally think that it might be the best platform game ever made. So funny, bizarre and atmospheric.
in all honesty, i don't think there's much replay value on mario games. have you guys even tried call of duty 4 multiplayer, blah, i was hoping for call of duty 4 to win though.
Cool, but fuck Nintendo could have re-released Super Mario 64 with Galaxy graphics and updated physics and they would have had a sure seller GOTY on their hands. Nintendo revolutionized and defined the Platformer again, they revolutionized games agian.
alright mario galaxy I was hoping for that game to win so I can show all the halo nerds I know that halo 3 won almost nothing. No one will ever stop nintendo and I think nintendo might win next year for Super Smash Bros Brawl.
on gamespot it flopped, but nowhere else....the fact that it got 8.0 is a joke, should have been at LEAST 9...it is definately one of MY nominees for goty, and THAT is what matters to me.
also, gz to SMG, it shows that in a year filled with amazing FPSs, a family game can come out and shine brighter than any other
SMG saved alot of dying gaming aspects. The Wii had yet to come out with an awesome game that could compete with other game platforms. The platform genre was continuing to struggle to stay alive. And the Mario franchise had yet to create a game that could match Mario 64, with other Nintendo franchises on the Wii showing some dissapointment like Link and Metroid. SMG was the savior to all three of these things.
LINK AND METROID DISSAPONTING?!??! wtf! prime 3 is considered by everyone to be the best of the series. 9.6 ign, 9.6 GT. game of the year nominee for 2007 by GT. that game is incredible? have you played it?
Owning many games on the nominated list, I am actually glad Galaxy won GOTY. Bioshock, COD4, even halo 3 were great games, but Galaxy proved that games other than FPS are amazing too and in a world leaning toward mature titles, Galaxy proved fun is meant for everyone!
