Galaxy could have used a story. Super Paper Mario had a decent one and good comedy. Galaxy also has poor multiplayer, no online, poor graphics because it's on Wii (my opinion, I played it right after Ratchet on PS3). It's still a great game, and Mr. Barlog said that. Just because a game is great doesn't mean it does everythnig well.

Nintendo could try some voice acting as well.

See I hate voice acting.  I've never seen one game that's had even halfway decent voiceacting.

Unless it's quirky or comicly bad i turn off the sound at voice acting scenes. 

Same here.  One of Mario's charms is that it's an old style video game with not much story, not much rationality, nothing just good fun gameplay.  I certainly don't want every game to be like that, KotOR and the Zeldas are my favorite games, but it is nice every now and then to have a video game that doesn't shove some long unnecessary story or force some realistic rational world on you (that is unless you're like some jaded gamers).

That being said I found the story a bit too close to Heaven's Gate's beliefs (what with the UFO following a comet around the universe and bringing goodies).  I suppose few gamers or people these days would be aware of that but oh well.
