I don't know about Mario Galaxy yet. I do intend to buy it, but I can't reserve a judgement today about it because as visually stunning as it looks, I'm worried about the gameplay branching too far away from classic Mario. We'll see though when it's released. :D
To me this gravity-bending gameplay makes *more* sense than the previous 3D Mario games, where the camera and controls seemed way to complex for the relatively strait-forward level design. I didn't understand what going to full-3D really added to the game/gameplay, which is why I never liked the 3D Marios before.
With this game they seem to have finally justified the complex controls/mechanics with equally complex level design.
