That's because you are comparing to Galaxy 2, which is inferior to the original SMG ;)


No, is not

Galaxy's hub, Rosalina story and soundtrack are superiors to Galaxy's 2 counterparts. The Mario ship is boring compared to the comet, the 2-3 cutscenes in first one are good and epic, while Galaxy 2 doesn't have any one interesting.

Final boss is better in the first one. There's only two thigns galaxy 2 is superior: difficulty and post game (green stars vs luigi). Nothing else.

I too fall on the side of "SMG1 was better".

Besides being more groundbreaking and "wow" for its time, I found its music and visuals and the resulting atmosphere more compelling.

Its celestial backdrops and some of its lonelier tracks evoked a really haunting beauty that Galaxy 2 with its blue skies and more sugary music didn't match.

Galaxy 2 is still easily the #2 game of the gen, but Galaxy 1 is better.
