Most games that get a perfect 10 don't deserve it.

and also GTA4 is not a 9.8/10 game either. But hey at least they didn't copy and paste EVERYTHING from the previous games.

This is the same person who wrote the blog entry entitled "I still care... somewhat! Top uses for my Wii nowadays" where he said he used his Wii as a paperweight. (He also used it for SSBB, Bomberman 93, GC games, and saying he owned one).

Thus I say to this "consider the source."

I was expecting better reasons than this - if that's all you've got to say, I don't understand why it doesn't deserve a 10... no offence.

I didn't know any differences, plus 90% fo levels in SMG2 are new so it's hardly copying and pasting, if they copied and pasts, how come it took about 2 years to do it?

Well I do for the most part agree it probably doesn't deserve 10s, because I really don't think many games at all don't deserve 10s. But these kind of complaints for a sequel is seriously something you could use for almost any sequel ever created outside of ones that aren't your direct sequel kinda things. I mean I could look at almost any sequel and say "ah you have the same main character in there" or "the same guns and a similar environment to where the first one took place" or "similar mechanics". I mean that is really being nitpicky.

I'm not going to say with a sequel you shouldn't have things new. That's the point of having a sequel. Not just to continue a story, but to improve and innovate the formula you have created. But I think Nintendo did that exceptionally well with Galaxy 2, better than most do with sequels. I've played a lot of sequels this generation, and Galaxy 2 doesn't feel like the usual sequel. Easily could be a game in its own right and that's the point. I don't like how critics do things nowadays, but I can see why they like it enough to get 10s even though I rarely think any should get 10s.

As for this guy who writes this, I think it is pretty apparent he has to make a lot of stretches to get a lot points against Galaxy 2 which is why he doesn't come off too strong and why he doesn't make any truth claims in there. So it's a pretty decent article that is fair.

I suggest you go back and play the first game. Then play the second DIRECTLY after. Then you will see how damn lazy they are.

The graphics are a HUGE improvement though. So kudos to them for that.

If they were lazy then SMG2 wouldn't have gotten higher than 60% on meta or they wouldn't have bothered making a sequel at all.

OP provides invalid point because he doesn't own a Wii.

NIntendo is Lazy. I mean look at the wii it is two gamecubes duct taped together. :P

Seriously, it is popular to write articles about popular games being overrated, just ignore it and move on.

Edit: Also guy above me, this isn't the opinion of G-Value, this is an opinion of some site. Also the site wants hits, so it would write such a piece.
