Super Mario Galaxy 2

The joke is hard to see because IGN makes their logo transparent.

**Towowo** · 2010-05-22 21:22

Ah okay that makes sense now.

**vrumpt** · 2010-05-22 21:32

Graphics is different from art style, that said its not hard to max out Galaxy's art style on the Wii which i bet was what they meant. Still a Mario game though, so its pretty much a score with respect to what the game was trying to achieve, not in comparison to say.. FFXIII on the PS3.

More fuel for the fire:

If that doesn't tell you how pointless breaking down into categories is then I don't know what will. (Also I wonder what RDR did to get .1 more presentation. Since these guys got feelings down to a science should be easy to know, right?)

Also I noticed Gametrailers doesn't think the availability of 1ups(seems just as easy as SMG1) or having to find out where to go doesn't change the difficulty.

So Mario Galaxy 2 has no story and still gets a 10. I haven't played a Mario seriously since Super Mario World/ Super Mario RPG, and it seems I still have no reason to today, especially with this heavily biased and slanted reporting.

**Avé** · 2010-05-23 14:36

The poor quality of reviewers is no reason to avoid a good game.

Were you really expecting otherwise? I mean, did you play SMW for its story? I'm confused by this post.

**Kurokikaze** · 2010-05-23 14:52

While you say that... They gave ModNation racers a 7ish for story... You know cause we play Kart Racing games for stories.

**BRP** · 2010-05-23 14:58

Mario Galaxy certainly does have a story. Comparatively complicated one compared to some previous marios, lol.

**vrumpt** · 2010-05-23 16:15

pretty sure the overall message these reviews give is that core Mario games rock. Not so much the 50+ spin off sport games and minigame packs with Mario in the title.

**Khamsin** · 2010-05-23 16:22

So is it in stores today, or is today just when it ships to stores? Might stop by and pick up a copy today or tomorrow, depending on when it's actually in.

**Kaisha** · 2010-05-23 17:18

It's in stores. I visited Futureshop yesterday and they had a good 100 copies in plain view under the desk of one of the employee stations. >.>
(granted they all had that "Do not sell under so-and-so date" stickers on them

)

**Tymon** · 2010-05-23 23:15

Going to start playing it tomorrow but I listened to the final bosses music today and it might be the most unbelievable orchestration work I've ever heard in a video game

No spoilers in the video itself but don't listen if you want to be surprised at the music

**Kaylia** · 2010-05-23 23:23

The song is amazing...need more music like this in video game.

I played quite a bit today (50 stars). The review were saying stage design was better than the first Galaxy, but I don't really feel it. Most stages consist of a bunch of unmemorable little planetoids...I don't feel the same epicness the first one had to it. Well, I'm exagerating a little, but nothing is catching my attention this time around.

It's still a fun game, and totally worth getting if you liked the first Galaxy, I just wish the stage would be a little more memorable.

**BRP** · 2010-05-23 23:26

Off-topic, slightly. Does anyone feel music(along with scenario description) counts as spoilers? It is hard as hell to block off my temptations to open that youtube.

**Kiarax** · 2010-05-23 23:29

Depends on how you view the word spoiler I guess. It can definitely spoil the experience a bit, but most people seem to just consider the word spoilers as things that essentially ruin a plot. Definitely better not to listen, especially with stuff like final boss music or (in this anyway) the throw-back galaxy. Hearing that track when you get there would make it infinitely more awesome.

Just for reference, who/what is Vanille point to?

**Tymon** · 2010-05-23 23:32

She sees your penis

edit: you can also relate this to both my avatar and signature

Absolutely nothing.

Spoiler: show

**TacoTaru** · 2010-05-24 18:42

So I didn't realize this until someone pointed it out today but it's currently at a 98% out of 24 scores on metacritic right now. I can't wait for this fucking game. :D
