My first impressions are far better for graphic wise (for SMG)
The graphics are fantastic the game looks AWSOME, its so danm colorful i love it.
9.5/10 i just love it, a game with this art direction deserves praise
Sound-5/5 of course danm i love it
Story 2/5 heh the story is always crap in mario, but who cares.
Design 9/10 like you said
game controls 13.5/15 game controls are alot better then i thought, i have some trouble with the shaking and star gathering but the controls are really qutie good.
Value- 9/10 Like you said
overall
43/50 HOWEVER games by me are not average and who cares about story in SMG
this game needs a fun factor and that fun factor makes this game AT LEAST a 47/50 IMO
With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.
Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
