Posted November 27, 2007 Just finished getting all the stars I could get and beat the final Bowser for the 1st time, was pretty easy. Now I just need to get the remaining 15 stars and then start the game again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27, 2007 Guys, what do you think then? Game of the year? I'd say so. Game of the decade! Got the game 100% complete now. Woo. only bad thing is that its over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Guys, what do you think then? Game of the year? I'd say so. Definately , although I don't seem to have returned to it since getting the 120 stars. Is it just me or is playing the game as Luigi just not so much fun due to him been such a slippery SOB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually found a lot of tricky stars that cost me many lives as beforehand than after due to his control, but then there were harder ones... ...bloody Cosmic Comets...

Posted November 27, 2007 Anyone care to give some advice for the purple coins on Dreadnought Galaxy. I gave it a coupla go's awhile back and it pissed me off no end so I left it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Just try and stay in the middle. If needs be, shoot the cannon balls with the Star Bits to blow them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 First time I attempted it I failed about 10 times, then I had a few goes yesterday and nailed it. As soon as it gets to the hard part you're on about 80 coins anyway, so its not too long or hard, just keep at it *Murray*. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Its the bit where you're going up on the side one that kept screwing me over, I kept missing one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 For me (yesterday) it was the bit with 6 on one platform, then Id run back to get to the moving platform and either ; Fall Hit by bomb thing Much up Stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 I can't even do Battlerocks purple coin challenge... I always seem to miss a few and it's pissing me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Just keep at it, its similar to the Dreadnought one, ie only a few tough bits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 For me (yesterday) it was the bit with 6 on one platform, then Id run back to get to the moving platform and either ; Fall Hit by bomb thing Much up Stuff. Best bet is to not rush to get back to the moving platform, as if you wait on the stationary platforms another moving one will come along. I found this out by accident when getting stuck on the bit with the thwump. Oh and I'd like to add that this is a great game, enjoyed every minute of it. I've even enjoyed helping my gf play with a second remote. Finished it with 120 stars last night, not sure if I should go back to it straight away or play something else for a bit. Oh just remembered didn't quite finish Phantom Hourglass whilst on holiday. I'll play that for a bit before going back to it I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Its the bit where you're going up on the side one that kept screwing me over, I kept missing one. That's around when I started giving up, the controls went dodgy and I didn't have time to adapt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2007 Guys, what do you think then? Game of the year? I'd say so. I would say so. I think it is between this and Bioshock, there are plenty of other top games out there this year but I think these two deserve to scrap it out. I completed it last night on 65 stars (I had tried to put off the end boss but decided I couldn't put off the inevitable encounter)and have already jumped straight back in to get more stars! Something I havn't immediatly done with the other Mario titles. What to say about the game, well obivously I loved it. My biggest bit of love for the game is how epic it all feels from start to finish. The final encounter is awesome in terms of epic scale, although is a tad easy much like the rest of bosses but their scale and sheer inventiveness makes them brilliant. Only one more thing after finishing, won't be a spoiler to most but maybe to some; OMG at flying mario! having kept a pretty steady blackout I had no idea that this was about to surprise me, now can only hope they make great use of it, I'm sure they will as the rest of the game makes great use of its "rules" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah. I think the only way they can really improve Mario games now is with a more involved and better story, maybe with twists and stuff? Unlikely, but do you think Galaxy will maybe get a direct sequel? I feel it would be fantastic and I believe theres many more Galaxy/Planet type levels/gameplay ideas that can be explored and looked into. I still want an original 2D gameply, 2D art style adventure for the DS though. Maybe Galaxy or Sunshine themed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God damn don't be so freakin lazy and at least look at a few pages of the thread, spoilers are kept to a minimum. Yes, tons of people have finished the game and yes, it's still fun to play. With so many games out nowadays though it's not as common for people to usually go back to games and replay them as we used to, so don't be surprised if you dont, but it is fun to play again.
