They are both Mario Platformers.... I think its fair to compair them.

That is like comparing all race car games, or all FPS.

They play in VASTLY different ways. Their goals are vastly different. More players, different characters. "levels" instead of vast worlds.

It is a 2D mario game that just happened to be in 3D.

The hate seems more aimed at "it wasn't Mario Galaxy 3" than at the actual game.

Exactly.  It was never advertised as Mario Galaxy 3, and therefore undeserving of the hate piled on it by people who placed unnecessary expectations on it.  The people who understood it as a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land, which is the only thing it claimed to be in the first place, enjoyed it very much for it was.  Myself included.
