The level design in Mario Galaxy is maybe the best in any game in years. Every level actually does something new and crazy. In Sunshine they were all derivative Mario 64 levels with added water gun use.

How far in Galaxy are you? Levels keep getting better and better. Try the Dark Matter Plant Bowser level or the Toy Galaxy you won't even believe the stuff they do.

Sunshine's levels had more depth. Like another member said, Galaxy is a bit linear. Also, the levels in Sunshine more alot more challenging, and that's very big for me. Plus, boss fights in Sunshine were alot better than Galaxy's. Right now I'm about 11 hours into the game. I have 47 stars, and I'm at The Garden. I just got done colleting those purple coins to get that red star. Ouside of graphics, Sunshine has this game beat.

It's disingenuous and intellectual fraud to properly compare the games when you haven't completed one of them.

 You certainly don't need to complete a game to tell whether it is good or bad.  All you need is to have spent a considerable amount of time on it.  As with flkusumot I have not yet completed Galaxy but it is already clear that it is a much better game than Sunshine.  Unless from star 47 onwards there was an amzingly sharp drop in quality in Galaxy collecting 47 stars would be more than enough gameplay for you to be able to tell if you prefer it to Sunshine or not even if you had collected 120 stars in Sunshine or collected only 47.
