I would complain about the 9.5 score, since it was better than Prime 1, but I saw legitimate reasons to lower the score. Up to 10 second load time at times. A boring fetch quest at the end-takes away from the whole mojo. An easier than expected final showdown-really?
I would have given it a 9.6 with these problems. 9.5 seems fine to me.
I will agree with Rol, though, that the controls themselves do merit, to an extent, the same level of evolution in the game as the original Prime.
Off Topic: I believe Super Mario Galaxy will end up scoring higher than Mario 64. Reading the hands-on comments, the evolution seems to be there.
