It is an opinion ya know...

Maybe she is just sick of the same old. (Which is what Mario Galaxy 2 is).   Alot of people I would wager feel the same way.  Perhaps by cartoony she meant...Unchanged....practically identical to every Mario iteration since Mario 64.  On that sense I would totally agree.

It's actually my biggest gripe of Nintendo in general with a good amount of their games.  They run them stale into the ground for years until they finally do something that people wished they had done years prior.  (Metroid for Gamecube was a wonderful welcomed edition....but it only took them how long?).  Games like Super Smash Brothers are practically the same damn game as the one for Gamecube.  Mario hasn't really looked different since Mario  64.  Zelda, I suppose they did have the Windwaker which was a deviation but then back to the same old, same old with Twilight Princess. 

I mean don't get me wrong, still quality games but it does get rather stale, IMHO.

Uh huh, so are you going to apply that same criticism to:

 

Killzone

Halo

GTA

MGS

Gears of War

Uncharted

Tomb Raider

Call of Duty

Guitar Hero

 

 

Of course you won't. 

The same criticism doesn't apply to practically ANY of those games.  Mario 64 (Released in 96') even being remotely comparable to a game (Released in 2010) is what we are talking about.  Several same gameplay mechanics still exist like the 'Mario jump' and all that other stuff.  

The proof is in the pudding. Over a 14 year span this is the difference to the user.  And you're telling me it's just crazy that people might be sick of the 'same old, same old' ?

This is a 14 year time span.  And the most compelling argument is...Well well they added GRAVITY!!
