The game is sitting at a 98/100.

Oh how the review system has fallen.

This is msnbc's review of Super Mario Galaxy 2: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30501433/vp/37255165#37255165
They gave Super Mario Galaxy 2 a score of 8/10, which is atrocious in my opinion.

I thought the msnbc review was fair. Should have been longer but fair.


how convenient that you picked NOW to point out that the "review system" has fallen... and why is the 8/10 fair when the game has been getting 10's almost unanimously from most reviewers (even the 'harsh' ones), am i supposed to beleive that these 'msnbc' people know more about games than ALL those other reviewers? i don't see how THAT makes sense now

what's your problem? coming into the official thread and implying that the game doesn't deserve good scores... leave us alone so we can party!

This is coming from someone who has finished SMG2 as well as the first one now. The game recycles to much for it to deserve a 10. I don't understand why alot of you people don't see that. and it is also funny that just because someone gives the game a 8/10 that it is the end of the world. and that person is unfair towards Mario/Nintendo.

 

Friend of mine also beat the game today and said that the game in his opinion was 7/10. He just must be a blatant Sony/MSFT fanboy too.

Ok, let me set it clear: a 8/10 is good, though the game deserves IMO a 10, but it isn't count in Metacritic so we actually don't care. It's a thread of joy and we are here to share advices and tips. We don't need a flame war if Galaxy 2 deserves whether or not a complete 10. Do you actually mind it got so many 10?

Oh and, the opposite is also real. My cousin told me he likes more Galaxy 2 than 1 and, when you play the first, you realize it's obsolete compared to its sequel.

I'm not trying to start a flame war. I'm just saying that reviewers obviously don't know how to review if they are giving it a 10.

For 1, no game is perfect. 2 the game recycles so much from the first and from previous Mario games. and finally it just doesn't have the leap that the first SMG had.

But does it really matter? A sequel would not be a sequel if everything was changed. Yes, no game are perfect, but you don't need to dampen the excitment around here by coming on the thread to claim your disappointment.

Well that's not the problem. The game is not a dissappointment. It is actually a good sequel. But it just doesn't deserve the praise it is getting.

That still remains your own opinion, which I'm sure isn't shared by everyone. For me, it's a perfect art and visual achivement for a Mario game, and it still has the excellent gameplay that makes the serie so famous.

55 stars and kickin' some Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine.
