Well? What do you think of Super Mario Galaxy?

[Keranu]

Frankly, I could care less if Mario doesn't have uber special textures and lighting effects and all that other crap. If the game looks nice, then it looks nice. End of story.

[GUTS]

Does Mario have real shadows that deform over the level architecture?  Does EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING in Galaxy have a shadow?  Does Mario have multiple light sources at once that all effect shadows in real time?  If I missed all this, then I retract my statement about Galaxy's lighting, all I noticed about the game was the really nice textures and smooth framerate.  Nothing about the amount of draw distance, level architecture, or lighting really stood out to me as anything amazing that a Gamecube couldn't do on it's best day, just the textures were obviously beyond the GC's abilities in my opinion.

Again I'm talking purely about graphics on a technical level, we're not talking about what merely looks nice, keranu.  Klonoa on Psone looks really "nice" but I'm not going to argue it looks as good as the best PS2 games.

Again, I'm just stating my opinion that technical features don't necessarily mean good graphics .

I think it's better than SMG 2.

I love that we are just going to pick this convo up 5 years later. no yeah it's cool.  Galaxy you ask . it's okay.

[Mathius]

Best game for the Wii and in the top 3 of best Mario games ever released.

[Tatsujin]

Oh that's for the Wii? I was stlll in NGC age.

I like the art style, but it really needs real controls. Imagine playing NES/SNES Mario games with Wii quality motion control.

I'll be the first person to poop on motion controls, and the motion controls in Galaxy WILL get you killed at times. But, what tactile controls are there in the game are nice and tight.

I never had any problems with the motion control in Super Mario Galaxy. Where were you running into issues, the waggle usage was pretty spot on for me.

Same here,  but i often noticed a bit of a lag in response if you needed to do 2 consecutive waggles.  Maybe by design, and it cetainly added to the tension, but frustrated the shit out if me when you needed it.
