I'm sorry, but some people need to come back to reality. Saying that this game is as good graphicly as the best looking PS3/360 game is plain stupid. Mario Galaxy is, in my opinion, game of the year. Mario Galaxy is an amazing looking game that is sure to play as good as it looks. However, saying that the game is just as good graphicly as the best looking PS3/360 game is going overboard, which really takes away from the rest of the article. Games like Call of Duty 4, for example, look way better then this game. Also, there are quite a few other games that look better then this game; for instence Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, Unreal Tornement, ect. Sure, Mario Galaxy looks great, but to say that it looks as good as the PS3/360's best efforts it insane.

Why?

There's more to a game than making realistic looking people. For instance, I thought Wind Waker looked much better than Twilight Princess, despite the latter being more realistic.

Art style is much more important than the number of polygons and I think that Mario Galaxy looks better than many Xbox360/PS3 games.
