For me a non wii owner, the game does not bring anything new to this type of game, but it is very good at what it does. You don't need something totally different with each game aslong as it increase the greatness of this type of game in general. The different outfits, the sphere worlds have all been done before. But this game does them pretty much better then anyone else.

I rly want Mario Galaxy!!!
Can it be game of the year?

well I have only played a few minutes of it b/c I don't own a gamecube, so I am just going on what I have heard. Galaxy looks really good, though, and I plan to get it when I pick up a Wii. Not sure when that will be.

There's some interesting spoilers of Mario Galaxy floating around pertaining to the reward of collecting 120 stars, can a mod start a spoiler thread somewhere?

Edit: Sorry, forget to block that line out... though I don't think it's really spoiler 

10/10s are given too lightly these days, I said it in the Ratchet and Clank threads and I'll say it here. i don't like reviews that aren't out of 100% really, and I hate how light reviews have become. I can't even think of a reason as to why this is happening. Although I haven't played it yet, I think it will not be a 100% game, it will be great yes and I'll love it, but not 100%.

And I liked Sunshine, I think it's become "cool" to dislike it. I reckon people think it makes them seem like a Mario elitist or something when they say they hate it.

Wow - wasn't it you that said the same things in another thread, only to be proven quite wrong?

"game does not bring anything new to this type of game"

So much about the game is not only new, but has *never* been done before in any game - that is why we are so excited. The gravity effects, multiple spheroids, instant camera controls (you have *no* control over the camera - and don't need it!), two player (simulatanous) control, the way you "collect" particles and can fire them off - while playing.

There has never been a platformer like this - ever. Its to the platforming genre, what Super Mario 64 was - a real revolution.

Go ahead and prove yourself if you want to make statements like this. 

 You or someone else are free to start a spoiler thread as long as it says SPOILERS in the title and obviously doesn't spoil anything in the title itself...

NightStalker, what is wrong with your time? Shouldn't we all have the same time on this website, or the posts be chronological in a practical sense? o_O

Until it's 00:32, all posts will appear to be posted before yours, when you posted that awhile ago..

I played the demo today, and it seems pretty fucking epic. I did the manta ray race, and some level with moving platforms that was pretty rad. The kid before me fought that one boss with all the bullets at the beginning from the early trailers. Soooooo good. So amazing. I can't describe how much pleasure I derived from simply walking up walls and around planets. That concept alone makes it the best platformer ever. Everything else is icing on the cake.

P.S. Cake joke.

Obligatory: The cake is a lie

On-Topic: Anyone seen my suggestion yet?
