I've played both quite a bit recently, but I find Mario Galaxy 2 to be a more solid game with A LOT more variety; actually more variety than any game I can remember ever playing. Though, I would like to hear your thoughts as well. |
Well, Galaxy 2 is a great game, don't get me wrong. But for one, I felt like it was a lot like Galaxy 1, just bigger in scope. There were some neat additions like Yoshi, but overall it seemed a lot to me like Galaxy 1.5, which is not necessarilly a bad thing, just not GOTY worthy. Also, I felt the game was too structured. In order to beat a level, you HAD to beat it a certain way. Each level had its own weird gimmick to it in which you were forced to take part in, some of which were a lot of fun, but some were not so much. I still think Mario 64 is the superior 3D Mario game.
DKCR is more a straight up platformer, and I much prefer 2D siderscrollers as there is more freedom in the actual gameplay, and the game relies more on your raw gaming skills and fast reaction time. Just more my type of game. Also, the multiplayer is far superior, and is half the fun and charm of the game. There's just not many games like this these days, which I find odd, because they are one of the best genres. To each his own I guess..
