Super Mario Galaxy is taking over my life. D:

Java · September 05, 2008, 08:00:16 PM

I got Super Mario Galaxy back in December and I loved it for the first month.

I had 30 stars and I really loved the game.
However, for some reason, I just stopped playing.

I played a tiny bit over all these months, but never sitting down to play for an extended time.

I picked up the game a few weeks ago at around 40-something stars, and I've been playing it whenever I get a chance.

I have no idea how or why I stopped playing this game.
It's absolutely amazing.

At this point, I have 61 or 62 stars and I'm going to try to finish getting all the power stars in the Garden (not including hidden or comet stars) before going to the "center of the universe."

This leads me to my topic:
What did you think of Super Mario Galaxy.

It's easily one of my favorite Mario games, and probably one of my favorite games of all time.

good. period.

It was cool. But imo, not very much replay value.

it was fun, but like JrDude said not a lot of replay value

It was good, but not great.
Too linear, easy as all hell (100% completed Mario AND Luigi in three days...).
Better than Sunshine, but not as good as 64...
That's my official stance XD

It was good, but too easy. The music and graphics were kickass, but the Difficulty was meh. The hardest boss was Bouldergeist! (Daredevil Run.)

This sure beats Sunshine, which is one of the crappiest games I've ever played.

Sunshine wasn't THAT bad, but yea this game was WAY too freakin easy.
Only hard parts:
Bouldergeist Daredevil (like you said, even then all you had to do was stay directly in front of him)
and Dreadnaught 100 coins....only because if you miss 1 you're screwed.

How long would it take you to get a star on an average mission?

Just one of those average missions.

Bored me to hell; there wasn't really a story that was remotely good, it was ridiculously off balanced in terms of difficulty, with some parts (most) being very easy, with some randomly placed hard segments, and it just lacked in pretty much everything, sans the Sound department. It was, and likely still is, over-hyped, and overpraised. It is good, but that's about it. So, ya, my thoughts.

I suppose you're going to say that Sunshine was actually good?

Tupin · September 06, 2008, 11:52:34 AM

It was good, but it had difficulty balancing issues and was linear.

It's better than Sunshine, but only by a little. I LOVED that game and beat it like 4 times. I beat Galaxy once with Mario and never touched it again.

No, Sunshine had me bored within ten minutes, Galaxy took about 15. I did prefer some aspects of Sunshine, but Galaxy is better than it...not that it takes much at all.
