so it does nothing to redefine the genre but it still got a ten if this was a ps3 game it would get two points deducted for that?? I am sorry but Edge really have lost it they really are not very consistant with their reviews...

Even after all these years , there still hasnt been a platformer even close to Mario's quality........the reign still continues.

N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

I must say I am rather looking forward to this game. A well written review that makes me excited for the game simply due to the exuberance and enthusiasm with which it was written rather than being a mere checklist of features, the 10 is just the cherry.

Lol. This magazine is so crooked. Seriously who reviews these games? Monkeys?

(Not that SMG2 doesn't deserve it. It is just that their review system just sucks.)

Also they are hypocritical as hell. They grunt and rant about other games not redefining the genre and deduct MAJOR points for it. But because this is Mario it is all of a sudden alright?

...My answer is that they are a shit magazine who shall not be trusted.

I know! It only scored twice as high as FFXIII. How insulting to SMG 2! Curse the ten point scale!

I'm not saying that the game doesn't deserve it. Because it may.

But the way they review is BULL.
