Forums - Nintendo - What will the official VGChartz review rate Super Mario Galaxy 2?

do the decimals really matter? i think it'll be rated *slightly* higher than galaxy1, which seems fair. i'm assuming this from the impressions of the users here who played it + from the descriptions that IGN, gamspot, edge and gametrailers said about the game (i've heard/seen someone speak so highly of a game in my life!)

but try not to take TOO long Signalstar, i'm so curious about the score now after entering this thread ;)

Just one game has recieved 9.6 (Super Mario Galaxy)

3 games have recieved 9.5 (Mass Effect 2, World of Goo, Metal Gear Solid)

3 games have recieved 9.4 (God of War III, Valkyria Chronicles, Shadow of the Collosus)

VGChartz quite simply doesn't rate as highly as other sites. Saying "anything under 9.5 would be a disappointment" is rather strange. 9.4 would still put it among the highest 7 reviewed games of the generation.

Yes, but we're working under the assumption that MG2 is better than all of those games(according to nearly every review I've read), and without even playing it, I can guarntee you that it's better than most of them(nearly every professional reviewer has gone out of their way to say it's better than the original). World of Goo was great, but come on bro....

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It better be higher than 8.5



9,9

It's the rarer of scores! And the coolest!

9.6 

Well that was anticlimactic... 



 

9.6
it's ok, lower than expected

vgchartz the new harsh reviewers confirmed?



I mentioned this in the actual review but...

In the second to last paragraph it mentions things that "impede Super Mario Galaxy's 2's march to perfection." and then in the same paragraph it mentions "We still do not have true multiplayer...".. Is the review saying that SignalStar docked a point or two off because the game has no "true multiplayer"?

No. I do not knock points off a game for missing features unless it overtly makes the game worse. Still I think it was worth mentioning.

LOL

Lower than expected?, ugh.

Go check out every other review on this site, it has the highest score we've ever given.

We don't dish out 10's like candy, we simply don't use that system.
