Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Super Mario Galaxy 2 Ign Review

CDiablo on 21 May 2010

I find this score hard to swallow. I didnt think Mario Galaxy was all that great(I like sunshine better) and I feel this will most likely be a testament to the broken review system that will be pointed to for the rest of the gen(see GTA4). With that said I am a bit more excited knowing my copy is showing up soon.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

What!? 10!? Perfect Score?! IGN?! Nintendo game!? *Head Explodes*






..............................Wow, unexpected. Is this game really better than the original to earn a perfect score? from IGfreakingN at that.

If I could remember where I got the drivers for my PS Eye back before I upgraded to Windows 7, I'd be posting pictures of my copy of SMG2 right now to brag.

Ah well. Guess I'll just go play.

This is easily GOTY...well, actually, it may get competition from StarCraft II, lol. But great score either way!



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

It holds a current Metascore of 96 from 15 reviews, WOW!

Awesome.

I was expecting Mario Galaxy 2 to be... well... more of the same, and reviews to be lower due to the "been there, done that," factor. The fact that the review is higher tells me this game is improved in many ways.

Galaxy is one of my top 2 games of the past decade, so I'm psyched about getting this one.

Time to go play some Galaxy 1 so I can finish my remaining 20 or so stars and get pumped for this kick ass sequel!

Gabe from Penny Arcade said something that I think hits the nail right on the head.

"There is a feeling you get when you play a Mario game that is hard to describe. It's just very...pure. Like this is what video games are about. It just feels good to play them and Mario Galaxy 2 is no exception"

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
