Am I the only person that thinks Super Mario Galaxy is REALLY overrated?
-
I mean, ok it's nice to look at, but that's pretty much the only way it surpasses past mario games. My biggest problem with the game is that it's way too easy. I've been playing Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy for years and I still only have 100-something stars in Galaxy and less than 80 in 64. I got all 120 with Mario in under a week though. There are no secret stars or blue coin stars, and the location of EVERY SINGLE STAR is blatantly obvious. It doesn't require any thinking or luck to find all 120 stars. Not only that, but only a select few of the levels are any sort of challenging. Only one or two purple coin levels with strict time limits provided me with any challenge. The bosses too, look bigger and badder than any previous bosses, but nothing comes near the difficulty of second battle with Petey Pirahna or the roulette battle with King Boo in Mario Sunshine. Also, the game doesn't control nearly as well as in the previous two games. Thanks to the bad controller setup, camera control is useless, unlike Mario Sunshine (my favorite of tge series, if you can't tell) where it gave you full control over the camera. Even Mario 64 (which also had terrible camera control) is better. The game isn't as fun to play. The bee suit is a hassle to use and the fire and ice suits are all gimmicky. All you do is shake and watch a goomba get burned or frozen. Not as fun as running on water with the dash nozzle or getting somewhere really high with the rocket nozzle and falling all the way down. And the characters are worse too. In the past, goombas, bob-ombs, piantas, and other characters have been introduced to the games, but in this one, the only new characters are fat stars and Princess Peach with a different hair do and a blue dress. And replay value? NONE. The closest thing this game has to replay value is making you do it all over again wwith Luigi, who is impossible to control, for a measly 121st star. Not very worth it in my opinion. And lastly, the whole galaxy idea is terrible. Is Mario a giant now? Why can he just walk around a whole planet in 10 seconds? And the little gravity effects just make the game harder to control. Walking upside down is headache-inducing and takes over half the game to get used to. Overall, it's a fine game. I'm glad I bought it, and maybe one day I'll play it again, but in comparison to previous games in the series, it pales. Seeing all the 9's and 10's out of 10 that magazines and people score it irks me, because I really don't see how it deserves over a 7 out of 10... It's really not that great of a game.

Answer:
No you are not the only person who thinks that Super Mario Galaxy is overrated. My favorite Mario game is Super Mario 64, I have gotten 115 of the 120 stars. My favorite video game console is the Nintendo 64 and Super Mario 64 is my favorite game. They just do not make video games like they used to.

I think its name sells the game, and not the game itself. People only buy it because it's Mario. I'm just as guilty though. I'll buy a Sonic game no matter what as long as it's Sonic

Um... I don't have a whole lot to add other than "co-sign"... So co-sign. :D

Yeah, super mario Sunshine was awesome!! I got most of the stars (except for 5) Super Mario Galaxy is super over-rated and easy.

Absotively Posolutely. Basically, I would tell you that Super Mario Sunshine is 1000 times better, I mean, there's no lazing about and kicking fruit when your bored and squirting piantas for pure sport in Galaxy. SM64 I would also agree is well, amazing. (But, keep in mind it was probably the first one of these we played, so a little bias may be present). Personally, I like the suits, but I would agree they can be a little finicky if not completely... glitchy. Overall, it is important to keep in mind Sunshine is the best game ever, we could never hope to pass it.
