To those who got this yesterday I hate you all! :)

 

I got it on Wednesday, so you must loathe me. :laughing:

 

Anyways, this game truly is the defining game for the Wii, I've enjoyed every moment of this game thus far, got 37 stars, day off today so I'm gonna try and get to 60 stars at least. :smile:

I hope its ok to bump this topic but this amazing game is 10 years old today: Not sure where the time went, it doesn't feel like 10 years at all to me but I plan to replay this game again to

Yeah if they ever did a HD port of this game and its sequel I guess they'd have to. They could map the spin attack to a button but I'm not sure how they could handle the pointer controls for shooting

I've given this some serious playtime, and this truely is SM64's successor! Power-ups, great design, tight gameplay and not a beach, pumpgadget or crappy voice-acting in sight! And great graphics to boot! :D This oozes Mario-magic!

 

One 'gripe' I have is that Mario's voice can be...odd. I know his voice always has been rather high and sharp, but now (and thanks to the advances in soundtechnology) his overenthousiastic "Super Mario Galaxyyyy!!!!!!" makes my porcelain crack. And why does he sound like a cat when he grabs and climbs a ledge? It almost sounds like mewing to me.

 

But that's nitpicking. This game shows why Nintendo is... well, Nintendo. :wink:

I think it's more popular over here and the US than Japan, there was big events and lots of queues showing how popular it was. And the apparent shortages backs this up. But numbers would be good and I can't be bothered waiting for NPD sales.

I'm loving it too. Kind of gave me a headache at first and made me feel motion sick with the whole aspect of running eternally around the planets. I think my head has since adapted to this and now I feel fine.

 

I was playing this till 1am last night and had the most surreal dreams about it. Which usually means it's good. Alongside my Endless Ocean dreams, my dreams are all game related!! lol.

 

Anyhoo, it is the greatest game I've played in ages. I was a little concerned about the moveset originally as they don't have the ott motion of Mario64 but it's far more realistic I guess. I love the swimming mechanics too. (Way better than sunshine's- More akin to M64). Oh and how cute is mario's old crawl move!! - crouch and walk.

 

It really is mario 64 all over again. The bumble bee world totally reminded me of Whomps Fortress. (That second level on M64.) But with added extras. Brilliant!

 

Best level yet was the first encounter with you know who. It was like Mario 64 all over again. And the music :yay: Best designed level for years. And the graphics on B and the music...God I can go on and on and on...

 

Kind of gutted I have 30 starts after 4hrs :(. Must...play..slower...

 

If I could sum this game up in one picture it would be this...with gravity: And that's the highest praise I could ever give any game.

This game is tied with OoT on game rankings!

http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/simpleratings.asp?rankings=y

 

Ive played loads more and it just seems to get better and better... every clever level design brings another smile to my face... theres no way im gonna leave this game untill every star is mine.

 

I remember OOT used to be 98%, but its been declining slowly with removal of a few reviews and such. Someone in charge of approving reviews has obviously tweaked OOT with another review removed as it had 31, now 30 and dropped one tenth of a percent hence the tie. Someone in charge obviously wants OOT off the top spot!

 

 

I've seen nothing but universal praise for this game. People that have criticised it have really only nitpicked on minor issues. I'm yet to see one "major" legitimate flaw/criticism with the game said by anyone, anywhere, which is obviously consistent with all your impressions of the game based on your time with it. I've still gotta wait another 13 days to play this game...

You guys are really convincing me to get this... Just when I was thinking about selling my Wii. Might get it this afternoon, that'll give me 2 weeks to complete before the eBaying of the Wii commences....

Got this from Tesco this morning and played for a short while. It's amazing! Almost feels too good to play!! Quite disorientating at first - but in the same sublime way that it was to use an analogue stick for the first time in 64. I've hardly played at all in fact, just got the first star.. can't wait to really get stuck in this evening. I think so far the best word to describe the feeling this game conjures is 'wonderment'.

I can hear Solitanze saying that his BARE MINIMUM has been reached on Game Rankings. I'm sure the guy is happy now.

 

What the hell is wrong with that guy? He plagues the comment boxes with long rants using made up statistics and capitalises sets of words for no apparent reason. Is he not well?

Me too. I find it hard to remember them. I just remember "Sweet Sweet Galaxy" (I think) cause when I listened to it I just went "Oh my..." and smiled.

That's the only reason I can think off. It's like he doesn't have any judgement skills on games. He vows by gamerankings and get's above a certain percent and never buys multi-platform games. Then when people talk about how other games are good he ignores them and rants about a load of crap...
