Did you read the whole review or just that excerpt

Because the guy goes far, FAR out of his way to explain how SMG2 is not the same as the first game

I read the whole thing. But they can't say this and expect us to take any of their reviews with a grain of salt. If they want to grind games for not redefining. Then fine stick with it. But do not give games free passes just because.

It's bull.

They don't grind on games for not redefining, they grind on games for being STAAAAAAAAAALE.

AND OLD

AND BORING

That's their whole thing! They only care about fresh experiences which tickle one's sensitivities and make you appreciate the meidum in new ways. Mario Galaxy 2, according to this review, does exaclty that: it makes you look at the entire platforming genre, as if the hwole thing has been exemplified and condensed into this package, infused wit new ideas and then condensed into liquid form and injected directly into your eyeballs!

The point here is that the review says SMG2 is not stale, and does not suffer from sequelitis.

Wanting them to deduct points from the game for those reasons when it dosn't have those flaws is silly.
