Look. Reasons aside …
Look. Reasons aside, people hate this game, people think this game is okay, and people think this game is awesome. I’m proud to be in the latter. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is without a doubt an amazingly entertaining game. I actually played the game again a day after I got all 242 stars. SOMETHING I DID NOT DO WITH THE FIRST MARIO GALAXY. So even if you (want to) hate this game, at least this is the one Wii game that every gamer knows about. Casual, retro and hardcore.
exactly how i feel!

I agree, I own a PS3 and a Wii, but it still gets me all off when I see other PS3/360 owners bashing this game cause its not a shooter. You aren’t a gamer, full stop, if you dislike a game simply on the basis of there being no guns and gore! Oh well, they’re the ones missing out on a phenomenal game, right? Shooters are satisfying but Mario is definitely the king of pure fun!
No disrespect to …
No disrespect to any of my fellows gamers but, it seems like you all are pretty jaded. I cant stand niegh sayers that have something bad to say about everything no matter how good or bad it is. I just bought smg2 yesterday for my son (and me) and we love it and my wife does as well. Instead of being a negative nelly why dont you just enjoy the product especially since you shelled 50 bucks on it.
@Treyworld yes, …
@Treyworld yes, again its all about the integration of it into the gameplay. also i guess theres no way to really whittle it down to an exact problem, its mainly on a case by case basis. but the ones who REALLY get it right, those are the classics, those are the ones that really stick out. but getting back to SMG2 i think that its really overrated, and that people are making way to big of a deal about a game that all in all, isnt THAT amazing.
I think we’re on …
I think we’re on the same page about that. And don’t get me wrong. I love great storylines and plot twists in games as much as the next person but they don’t have nearly as much of an impact if you’ve already beaten the game. It kind of slows down the gameplay because you already know what happens. Which is why I hate it when games don’t allow you to skip cutscenes that you’ve already seen.
@Treyworld …
@Treyworld absolutely! level design, music, and easy to grasp yet hard to master controls ruled. honestly i find myself running through games like mw2 the first time and being amazed, but when i run back through, i find myself not wanting to play a lot of areas because some of the pacing and level designs me off. its very cinamatic, but once the effect wears off it loses a lot of its luster yknow? same here, for me its all about how the game plays, and how well the story compliments it 2.
I completely agree. …
I completely agree. But I think the story is really important for this gaming generation. Back then, games didn’t really need much of a plot. They just needed an appealing design (different from graphics), a great tune here and there, a fair learning curve and fun bosses and/or challenges to be a great game. Most games nowadays have become somewhat like interactive movies. Whenever I see a game commercial I imagine playing it, not so much watching/reading it. But I guess that’s just me.
@vbhalo still would …
@vbhalo still would be good
@Treyworld point …
@Treyworld point taken, but thats not always the case. i find myself always going back to GOW 3 and trying to beat it on the tougher difficulties, its just so fun! same with FF7, and RE4. i mustve beaten RE4 over ten times, and the story mixed with gameplay still had me hooked enough for another go around! story is VERY important in a game, and your right while it CAN be a hinderance, if done correctly it doesnt have to, and can even enhance the replay value dramatically!
@nerad1994 exactly! …
@nerad1994 exactly! its a good game, but its definately not one of the best games of all time, and in my opinion it STILL doesnt top super mario 64.
Only Mario 64 and …
Only Mario 64 and Grand Theft Auto 4 (xbox 360) are perfect games…Mario 64 for its fun, gameplay and originality, and GTA 4 because…well, If you have played it, you will understand. The third would be Turok 1 and 2
@theSneakySasquatch …
@theSneakySasquatch i know there are way better games then this that didnt get a 10…whatever. this game is like an 8.5
You know, I LOOOVE …
You know, I LOOOVE God of War III. But I think the reason why Super Mario Galaxy 2 was rated higher than it was because storyline not only (slightly) hinders gameplay, but it also (slightly) hinders the replay value. SMG 2 has barely any story so it’s just all gameplay. Thus equaling more fun and replay value.
Wow, i didn’t …
Wow, i didn’t realize that so many PS3/Xbox 360 fans were so petty. This comment section is hilarious.
xbox 360 games re …
xbox 360 games re way overratted and what makes 360 better than wii besides graphics??
is just testament …
is just testament to the biased nature that seems to develop more and more in this business. it just seems to get more and more apparent every year, but no one gives a shit, because theyre divided up into their own loyal fanbases. maybe im wrong about a couple of things, maybe im just being too picky. but in my opinion something seems to be wrong with people giving this more praise than GOW 3, because frankly im not even a big fan of that franchise, but i gotta say that was beyond amazing.
also am i the only …
also am i the only one that finds myself a liitle miffed at the physics system in this game? momentum seems to be next to non existant when you want to use it for finesse purposes, but its just influential enough to you up on a delicate, platform sequence. also why are these reviewers such suckups to nintendo? they did the same thing with LOZ TP, its like they dont dare say anything negative lest they upset the fanbase of nintendo. the fact that this got straight 10s, and GOW 3 didnt…
damn this game is …
this game is overrated! im not saying that this isnt a great title, because it really is, its just that straight tens for a game, that feels so much like just a really suped up version of the original, isnt enough to get me to say that its one of the greatest games ive ever played. imo it stays way to close to the first one, with essentially unchanged graphics, animations, sounds, and to a certain degree even gameplay. albeit much better gameplay than the first, its still VERY similar…
