Nintendo - SMG2 > SMG - View Post

The second one was designed with the assumption that players had already played Galaxy 1. As such, the developers were free to jump right in without having to worry about ramping up the difficulty too quickly, or easing players into the game. It was meant to be more difficult, because players had already mastered the basics in SMG 1.

Going from SMG2 to 1 is going to lead to a pretty sharp decrease in difficulty because of the order, so it's kind of a bad order to do things in. Plus, for you, SMG2 is going to seem more original and novel because it was the first one you played. For most people, it's the opposite.

Both great games. I like SMG1 better simply because it was so fresh and new when I played it. Galaxy 2 was great as well, but it couldn't recapture that magic. If I played the games in the reverse order, there is a good chance I'd agree with you though.
