Games can be both, hard to believe I know. ..............It's called progress, games can look good and still bew great games, they are released all the time.

I think we look too differently at games to even argue about it. What I mean with new ideas, are gameplay ideas. The name GALAXY says it already. It does almost an unlimited new amount of gameplaymechanics with the use of gravity and jumping. That really is revolutionairy. Go look 1 video and the diversity in platforming with gravity and new power ups are just brilliantly done.

What I say is that you are in the minority when claiming Galaxy is boring and the same all over again. I don't say your opinion isn't true, it's your opinion. But if millions of other praise the game and you not, it means you think different then most people.

In your way of talking it is like you assume I don't like Sony... In fact I own a PS3 and have played many games on it. PS3 has many great games and overall more than Wii because Wii lacked third party support. Overall Nintendo exclusives are better in mine opinion and many others.

Well Nintendo games have consistently good metacritic despite not so good graphics comparatively to other systems exclusives. It is basically total gameplay that gave them good meta.

LOL Gravity and jumping has been done in so  many games too many to list............. Nothing else in the game is anywhere near revilutionary. it's just a really well done platformer, seems it's all nintendo can do these days.

Can you point out where I said Galaxy was boring and same all over? It however is nothing new it's the same simplistic design nintendo has stuck with since the earely ninties, it's the same reason they are being left behind.   Ps3 exclusives are better IMO, Demons Souls alone is better then anything on a nin tendo platform.

pls tell me ONE game where gravity was used so creativitly before galaxy. and it isn't even about the gravity alone. the level design was masterful. there wasn't one level that was similiar to another. the controls were perfect. THIS game pulled me back to nintendo after playing years on pc and xbox. that was 1,5 years ago. cause it showed me how fucking brilliant these guys still are. everything was so perfect. and the music, man, pure eargasm.

Half Life, Halif life's 2 gravity gun was more inventive then anything in galaxy, that changed shooters forever. Crysis to name 2 off my head. Not to mention dizens of indie games. A game in the 80's on Pc called alley cat and a bunch of other sused gravity please. The controls? That's your argument? Many games have perfect controls.  Many games have better music.....

Maybe you have not been gaming long but galaxy was just a polished platformer.

Dark Souls, demons souls have way better level design it's one fully connected massive world. Many games have better level design. It's another overrated nintendo relic. Ocarina of time was amazing, it deserves it's accolades, galaxy was massively overrated.

Minecraft is shit

lol you compare the gravity gun to the gravity from galaxy? seriously. pls go home. you compare the level design from dark souls to that from galaxy? these are totally different genres. when i say level design i mean how the levels are structured and the ideas that get involved in a level. not how they are connected. you are just plane hating on galaxy cause it has nintendo on it. btw crysis launched few days later then galaxy. how stupid people can be. blind hating doesn't get you anywhere. indie games weren't that popular at the time. you wanna know what the magic behind the gravity in galaxy is? they made it so that you don't get fucking confused when you run around several planet like structures. alone that is  amazin work. this was never done so good in a platformer before. you cans ay what you want lol

I don't think I ever said games can't do both. 

the gameplay legend worshipped by nintendonians is right now proven wrong by the same guys.
Nintendo fans.

they are buying lego city.
lego is and always will be lousy simple gameplay combined with license(s) and great humor.
take away the license and the humor and noone would buy the games with inferior gameplay combined with selvesolving dumb puzzles=a 50% game.

add license and humor and you' ll have lot of fun and games worth playing(80%)except first harry potter(boring)


take great graphics combined with great story ,graphics and humor but bad merchandising and you'll get low sales(sly coooper)
