Sunshine almost made me vomit. But the gameplay was so amazingly awesome (do you remember sliding on the water, or squirting water while running?) that it made me forgive it. But still I have a bad feel when I think of the god-aweful cutscenes and voice acting. That is the direction I highly discourage and want to stay away from as much as possible.
About Galaxy, here is my PoV. In contrast with Sunshine, the atmosphere was acceptable from a kiddy perspective. It was very kiddy, but for some reason the star theme was much more acceptable than the lame "Delphino Plaza" theme we had in sunshine. I really can't explaine this one to you.
And though Rosalina's story was kind of kiddy, you knew it was all pre-meditated to look story-like and childlike (a bit like le petit prince)
And plus, Galaxy's gameplay was so revolutionary, so unique, the music so Vibrant, I did not even have the time to be upset. I don't see the same thing happening here though honestly. I can almost hear the cash-cow mooing.
