Forums - Gaming Discussion - why are some people mad that super mario galaxy 2 got a 10 in some reviews?

You can never say anything but good things about well recieved exclusives here without being a troll.

God of War 3 was another, a good game but except for a few tiny things was no different from GOW2, in both you die at the beginning, lose all your stuff, have to escape hell again (which has been done 4 times), go to search for a artifact to defeat someone, both stories are pratically the same he wants revenge on Zeus and kills everyone in his way.

It would be stupid to give a game a lower score just because it's "pretty much the same"... If it's pretty much the same, give it the same score, is it a bit better, give it a better score... Remakes like Metal Gear Solid: Substance get even higher scores while they are identical, and fans agree with it. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has tons of new stuff, it's not an Add-On like Super Street Fighter 4, it deserves every 10 it gets!

What the fuck do you want from sequels?

SEQUELS!

They maintain the same concepts and gameplay!

Metal Gear Solid substance games arnt remakes, it IS an add on like Super SF4, its added content to release the game and get more money. Galaxy 2 is a full fledged sequel.

Why would anyone keep buying the same thing, GTA3 got perfect reviews so then they shouldnt have bothered adding all the extra stuff?

Call of Dutys another one thats just becoming the same, COD4s single player was leagues better than MW2s.

"troll"They maintain the same concepts and gameplay!"

MGS4 was different to MGS3 it was a sequel, most games get away with it because while theyre mostly the same they have a new different story, so your playing to uncover what happens.

With Mario games they cant even change the story even a little, its story is paper thin anyway how hard can it possibly be to have something different in a kids game, how many times do you have to keep fighting Bowser at the end. Some people were disappointed Zeus was the last boss in GOW3 for the second time. Bowser has been the last boss in damn near everyone.

Bioshock 2 had many reviews claiming it was more of the same and got lower scores, Galaxy 2 is more of the same yet gets perfect reviews.

I've played it and I love it, but to be honest, games like God of War 3 get smashed for being "the same ol', same ol'" when they do try to improve on the basis they are known for.

SMG 2 is also basing itself on the previous one and improves here and there (and is an utterly enjoyable game all around), but with SMG 2 it's considered good that it's more of the same with touches here and there.

With God of War 3 (and other games), that usually means (or meant) they would be tackled because of "more of the same".

That's the only somewhat logical anger I can get with SMG 2 scores (not that it doesn't deserve a high score)

Maybe because the developers claimed that GoWIII was innovative (along with other sequels with good reviews), while Miyamoto never said the second game would be innovative in relation to the first, I think. To be honest, I didn't expect SMG2 would be interesting, but perhaps the lack of perspective from the reviewers made them be surprised with the sequel, thus earning them higher scores.

Because it's not a HD-game

GTA4 got the same amount (if not more) hate for getting perfect 10's and its HD.

You're actually downplaying a Mario game for story.

You gotta be kidding.

"You're actually downplaying a Mario game for story.You gotta be kidding."

Yes actually, fair enough Martio games for for small kids and need a simple plot but it doesn't have to be the same exact story 20 years later. Youd think by now they could create a new villain.
