Okay I have question, maybe someone answered it earlier in the thread but I didn't see it. Isn't her favorite game Ratchet & Clank? If so that makes her a huge hypocrite. R&C's art style has remained the same through out the entire series.

She basically said last year that Ratchet & Clank:ACiT was the best platformer in a long time.
The graphical advancements of the Ratchet & Clank franchise is great. In fact, I would go ahead and refer to the most recent R&C game as pixarlike quality (if not all of the PS3 versions of the series). The story had both happy and sad elements, which led to the game being very much story driven. The gameplay was varied and they completely changed the mechanic to Clank levels from previous games. Of course I'm sure that most people on here who are blasting the series haven't touched the game since the PS2 (if even then). That or they are just talking shit because of Morgan Webb and her "hypocrisy." Which I find stupid due to the fact that people don't seem to understand platformers are just like any other genre.
If people like Call of Duty, that does not mean they will like Battlefield. If people like God of War, that does not guarantee they will like Bayonetta. If people like Oblivion, it doesn't mean they'll like Fable. If people like Star Ocean, that doesn't mean they'll like Final Fantasy. Again, I repeat, it's about OPINION. e.e

Did watch her criticisms of SMG2? It was entirely about the cartoony graphical style. That's what makes her a hypocrite. You seem to have completely missed my point. R&C is a cartoony game. If she had been complaining about SMG2's gameplay and not it's graphical style then you'd have a point. For example, if I said I don't like Tekken 6 because it's a one on one fighter but listed another one on one fighter Super Street Fighter IV as my favorite fighting game I'd be hypocrite. That's essentially what she did.

You've pretty much nailed it there but I don't expect those who "agree with every word" to pay much attention to you. If she wants to dislike Mario Galaxy because she just flat out disliked the game then I say fair enough, but criticising it based entirely (yes, entirely) on the fact that the game is "too cartoony" whilst loving other games with a similar art style is incredibly childish. It's no different than somebody saying "I really hate Killzone 2 because it has guns, but Halo is my favourite game".
I'd also like to know from that those that do agree, what the hell she means by it "needed to be more 3D". It's a 3D platformer played a lot of the time on spherical worlds, you can't get much more 3D than that unless we're now expecting Wii games to come with 3D capabilities (as in like 3D movies) for some insanely stupid reason which would take goalpost shifting to the absolute extreme....
