Reviews really don't mean anything. GTA IV is also one of the highest rated games in video game history, remember?
I can't say I know too much about why 2D Mario fans don't buy 3D, though I am skeptical you can "fix" its problems simply by making the gameplay closer to its 2D counterpart.
Honestly, one of the major things that bug me about Galaxy is the environments. I don't like traveling between small planets in space, or playing around in what looks like gameplay testing grounds, I want large worlds to explore. Or, if not a large world, at least have us explore a small section of what seems like one. I can't get immersed or imagine myself being in most of SMG1's worlds, which is kinda important for a single player game...
I know the planet / galaxy theme was necessary for the whole gravity thing, but I wouldn't exactly miss that either. I'm sure they could come up with enough fun ideas without the need for such gimmicks (gravity manipulation / water suit). This alone would make the games a lot more accessible (I think?).
