Mario Sunshine is garbage. There are literally dozen and dozens of 3D platformers that I'd rank far ahead of Mario Sunshine. It's hard to see where they went so wrong after Mario 64. Meh. I'd rather have Mario in 2D anyways. Where's a sequel to New Super Mario Bros?

Reviewers would disagree with you.  While it scored lower then Mario 64.  Mario Sunshine is still one of the highest rated platfromers out their with a Metacritic average of 92. (Amusingly it's the first game i've seen with a User average lower then the review average.)

Which coincedentally is higher then every R&C game released aside from Tools of Destruction, which currently also has a 92.

I've never played Mario Sunshine, but based on the 92 Metacritic average i'd guess that's it's actually a very good platformer and just gets so much grief because people expect more from Mario.


@ Deviation 59

I agree wholeheartedly

@ Kasz216

Therein lies your problem.  Play the game and find out what garbage it is.  That game just slapped the Mario model into a game and made you waste fifty bucks.  There was no fun in that game.  I played a great deal of it 7-10 hours, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it.


Nah, I never played Mario Sunshine because I knew i wouldn't like it from the previews.  However that doesn't mean that it's a bad game.  That just means it's not my kind of game.  I can't see how a game that has no fun at all. (Which is like... what, a 6 rating) could get an average rating of 9.2 no matter who is on the game.

Heck I didn't even really care for Mario 64, it was a pretty decent game but it didn't set my toes tapping.  However I could see how it was rated that way, and would of given it a similarly high ranking than it got.  Higher then games I've actually had a lot more fun with.

Personal expeirence  =/= review in my opinion.

For example, Snakes on a Plane vs Schindlers List.   Snakes on a Plane or some other similarly campy movie is going to be a heck of a lot more entertaining and fun then Schndilers list... yet there is no way it should be rated higher.

Because more people overall are going to enjoy Schindlers list, as opposed to a campy movie which I will enjoy more by laughing at it.
