Unless the last bunch of stars is just the wiimote electrocuting me every five seconds, I don't think the game could change my opinion of it being the greatest game ever made.

So there's legitimate reasons you prefer SMG1 to SMG2. Thank god it wasn't "there's not enough new gimmicks".

Yeah. Trust me, I take my opinions of this series very seriously. :lol
Even still, I usually hate passing judgment on a game like this so close to release, whether good or bad. So I'll give SMG2 another month to get into my heart.

....okay, yeah, the end of Slimy Spring is pretty gorgeous. I think having no music for that part helps as well.

Off early on this Friday, have a 3 day weekend (love you too Memorial Day), I can finally get some substantial playtime with this beast.
It's a great game, I just keep getting pulled away from it by work and other bullshit that has flew my way in the past week. I really hope that some good sit-down time helps me like it even more.
Holy hell. My Wii arrived at Nintendo yesterday, got an email this morning saying that it is now already repaired and on its way back to me
Estimated delivery June 3rd. What to do for six days
Also, I thought this was funny. I looked at my repair order status page and found this:
"Product Description:
CONSOLE ASSY WHITE RVL"
Yes Nintendo, my Wii is assy for breaking right before Galaxy 2

Yes, despite my own nitpicking and others' overhype, I would say that calling it "every bit as good as Galaxy 1" is a fair assessment. Obviously the reviewers agree or it wouldn't be tied with the first on GR (tenths and thousandths digits aside.)
Why would you do that?

Took some dolphin pictures!
No spoilers here, pictures are from within the first two worlds. Some of the pics have Bowser (not fighting him... Just him), so if you want to be surprised as to how he looks like, don't click.

You know, although I wrote my review with over 120 stars completed, I had pretty much made up my mind at around 105. This game is so damned good that I thought it impossible for anything to screw it up beyond that point. Even up to star 70 it was saturated by more creative content than just about any game I'd played to date. It's truly a masterpiece, and I would have to argue already that it's the best game I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying in my 20+ years as a gamer.
Still in shock, no joke. Never thought I'd see the day...

F*ck those manta races in SMG1!!! I hate them and the shitty controls in those parts. ;O Apart from that the game has been brilliant!

I was in shock after star 1, I'm still in shock at star 35. And from the sounds of it I'm going to be shocked all the way through this stellar game. I was expecting great things from this game but it has far exceeded what I could have imagined.othersteve said:

5:00 PM cannot come soon enough! My copy of SMG2 was delivered to my parents' house yesterday (I've yet to change the shipping address). My Dad brought it into work for me today. haha
If SMG2 fixed half of the problems with the first game, I'm going to have a very good Friday night.

It depends what your problems with the first game were. For me, 2 has pretty much addressed the issues I had with the first game, and more.The Blue Jihad said:5:00 PM cannot come soon enough!

Started playing last night. I am only about 6 stars in and the game is amazing. Much better than galaxy 1 already. The whole experience is just more streamlined. I love the world map and the ship.
I thought mario galaxy 1 was the first true 3D platformer, and galaxy 2 takes that even further.
Galaxy 2 is already harder than most of Galaxy 1. Which is a great thing. I have lost lives, and I always feel like if I am off, I will pay the price.
Cant wait to keep playing.
only tiny gripe is that I feel the intro story could have been different. (not necessarily longer or fleshed out, just that it would have done something a tiny bit more different than SMG1)

Hey, is there any way to drop the drill powerup? I swear, Flipsville's purple coins is impossible without the backflip.

It's been a while since I've played the first galaxy, but is it just me, or did they actually polish the control and "weight" on mario even more in here? I thought galaxy one had some of the best(probably "the" best) 3D control I've experienced in a game, but it just seems even tighter in this version. I don't have my copy of it to compare at the moment...

I think that Mario's jump momentum from standstill feels better then Galaxy 1, but that could just be my mind tricking me.abstract alien said:

I agree. I haven't played SMG in a while either, but these controls feel the same, but definitely different. I'd say, yes, a bit "tighter."
Question here. I saw some people mention the "cosmic witch" you get for dying so-many times in a level. If you make her appear, does it affect anything later in the game? For example, in NSMBW I think making the guide block appear de-sparkled your stars or something that were by your name when you beat the game. Is there something similar in this game?
