The "not redefining the genre" doesn't really apply here.
Mario is THE ONLY big player in the platformer genre. We have seen ONE other game like Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Galaxy 1.
There are tons of games like God of War, tons of games like Final Fantasy TONS of FPS. So when you get one that's just like all the others (FF 13, GoW 3, etc) it leaves you unimpressed.
The Galaxy formula hasn't been worn out like the other games you guys have mentioned, it is still extremely fresh and still has tons of interesting gameplay mechanics despite being a sequel.
THAT is why it didn't factor in here.
