mcj metroid Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 one minor thing Why on earth did they bring back the spring mushroom lol. Even for just a short level it's no secret it controls badly.
tapedeck Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 oh. N-E review by me and Tphi http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=523
Ronnie Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Great review guys, thanks for that. Also good to see /10 scores are preferred on this site, rather than the ridiculous percentage scores which wind me up for some reason.
Eddage Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 oh. N-E review by me and Tphi http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=523 The artwork for that review is awesome... who did that then?
... Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Man, I'm getting really paranoid about spoilers. The only place I go and know that I wont see a massive spoiler is this place. So please, let's keep it this way. Mario dies in SMG2. But then you just use one of the 1-up shrooms and he's alive again.
welsh_gamer Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 1 week to go, for those of us who will hopefully get our copies on Thursday! Also, just saw this on the Official Nintendo Magazine website ;- Mario Galaxy 2 will be released in the UK next Friday and to celebrate, Nintendo is holding a special midnight launch event at Game in London's Oxford Street. The event kicks off at 11pm on Thursday 10 June and you're all invited to come along dressed as Mario. There's an incentive, too: The first 50 to attend the London launch dressed as Mario will get an exclusive Super Mario Galaxy 2 goody bag filled to the brim with exciting Mario treats. So get your dungarees on and get down to Oxford Street. Charles Martinet - the voice of Mario - will be jetting into London to attene the event where he will be signing copies of the game and Mario merchandise. No doubt he'll also say "woo hoo" on the stroke of midnight! If you don't live in London there are also launch events taking place across the country. Here are the details:- Friday 11th June - Sunday 13th June Birmingham: Gamestation, 138 New Street, B2 4NS. Leeds: Argos, Unit 2, The Gantry, 22-26 The Headrow, LS1 8EQ Glasgow: 235 Buchanan St, Glasgow, G1 2NG Dublin: Smyths, Unit 424, Blanchardstown Centre, Dublin 15 Those last few store events seem a bit random - just getting the goody bag when buying the game at those locations or something?
The Lillster Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 So basically: Mario Galaxy 2, World Cup and E3 all in the same month! If only Christmas was in June too.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 So basically: Mario Galaxy 2, World Cup and E3 all in the same month! If only Christmas was in June too. Haha, June kicks arse. I'm quite excited for E3 this year, more than last year. Good review for the site, TeeDee.
Munch Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Quick question: What world is the throwback galaxy in? I can't wait to play that one! I'm currently in world 3 with like 15 stars (import copy)
mcj metroid Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Quick question: What world is the throwback galaxy in? I can't wait to play that one! I'm currently in world 3 with like 15 stars (import copy) world 6 Im on that now. But I'm getting every single star on the way.
Mike Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 I've just reached World 5, and although I'm obviously really enjoying it, I've not been totally blown away by any of the new levels - I don't know if Galaxy 1's were better, or whether the concept was just fresher then.. But maybe I just haven't reached 2's best levels yet. I'm hoping there's going to be something like Space Junk or Battlerock/Dreadnought galaxies - a lot of the levels in 2 seem to be a bit too short and constricted. I love everything else about it, though - the new suits and Yoshi are great.
Tphi Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 one minor thing Why on earth did they bring back the spring mushroom lol. Even for just a short level it's no secret it controls badly. I think just for completion. Spring and Boo are only in one level each the whole game. Then again they cut Ice completely, so who knows.

I love everything else about it, though - the new suits and Yoshi are great. I do know what you mean. There isn't a Battlerock, or a Melty... whatever it was called, that lava one with the insane Purple Coin level. There are still some quality levels early on though. I love Starshine Beach. But yeh, it's less exploring huge levels and more tighter, focused, harder challenges.

I love everything else about it, though - the new suits and Yoshi are great. I agree in a way. I can only assume they did this intentionally to further bridge the gap between the 3d and 2d games. After all you would have completed a 2d mario level in a matter of mere minutes. Sometimes I do miss the massive worlds of super mario sunshine but honestly we're better off this way. No distractions just straight into skillful gameplay just like the 2d games. I really do believe this is a better game than the first in just about every way.
Mike Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I still haven't decided which game's better, though saying that, I have just played a really great level in World 6 - the second galaxy is probably the most challenging so far. The first star of the desert level was great fun too. Another slight criticism I have is that too many of the 'second' stars in the level are obtained in similar ways - I've already collected so many silver stars, fed so many hungry lumas and gone down so many warp pipes to complete simple mini games...
