Super Mario Galaxy
 

So, it's pretty much out all over the NA, and Europe should be getting it in a couple days, so first impressions?

I really can't get over how good the game looks, first of all. Especially Bowser, he really has it going in this one, his animation is amazing. Second, the music is phenomenal. I'd like to see you argue midi over orchestral scores with this one, TMB. All the remixes in the side galaxies are just amazing. And it plays so damn smooth. Every facet of it is so polished and just...perfect.

I've got something like 30 stars right now, just finished off the Beach Bowl Galaxy in the third dome.

So, how about everyone else?

I'm about to go play it right now. I just put a couple hours into Assassins Creed. Glad to hear its good so far.

The first fight with Bowser is so awesome I did it twice. TWICE. And yeah, even the music in that fight was breath-taking. I have exactly 30 right now.

Well I had mentioned awhile back on here that I didnt like Super Mario 64...Sunshine was ok,actually liked it better for some reason.

So having said that,even though Iv been looking forward to playing 'Galaxy' since it looks far more superior than 64 and Sunshine...and Mario has new costumes(which we havnt seen since Mario 3,which is my fave Mario ever)....Iv had doubts about 'Galaxy'....since at its core,its still all about collecting Stars.

I know alot of people are gonna disagree with me...its fine,this is all just my own opinion...besides,Iv come across a few others that didnt like Super Mario 64 either.

Why does this game suck so much?

What're you talking about?

The wait is KILLING me!!!!!!

because you touch yourself at night

It's like 7:30 am here. I've been playing Galaxy since about 6, and I don't need to be up for another hour or so. My body totally woke me up early to play.

Its finally good to have a pick up and go Mario game again. Like....it has some mechanics of Mario 3.

Only gripe is getting disoriented every so often.

*raises hand* That would be me. I liked Mario Sunshine better than Mario 64, but the only Mario games I enjoy playing over and over again are the 2d ones. I haven't looked at Mario Galaxy much yet. The trailers looked okay. My brother is going to get it, so I'll reserve judgment until I've played it. I think I'm going to like it, but if not, then my favorite 3d Mario game will still be Mario Sunshine, and that isn't saying much.

Bring on New Super Mario Bros. 2 please!

I've got something like 40 stars now, been running through as many Galaxies as possible and trying to finish any prankster comets I can. The game can actually get pretty tough in some places, which is awesome. Love it. Also found the soundtrack somewhere, which is nothing short of some of the best Mario music in years.

Argh! Apparently some stores were already selling the game today! Oh well, only one more day...

Imagine how TMB is feeling on his annual Family Hell vacation? He's probably dead by now, playing Galaxy in...well...I guess Heaven. I don't know if people who have sex with Mario body-pillows go up there.

I have to say Sunshine was fun, but IMO it didn't feel like the true Mario. In this game, everything, there's new things added and there's some old classic mario mixed in there. Even Bowser's voice is blood chilling!

Yeah, I've been reading more about Galaxies, and it sounds pretty awesome. I think my bro's going to try buying it today, so I'll find out if I like it or not soon. People are saying that it feels a little like SMB3 which is great news. Anything that feels a little like SMB1 or 3 is awesome imo. I'd still like to see a New Super Mario Bros 2 that's based on SMB3, though. Bring back Raccoon Mario, please!

I didn't even notice he was gone again. Poor guy. :lol:

Anyway, got the game. It is beautiful.

Yeah New Super Mario Bros on DS was great!...Id love a sequel.

Iv always liked the 2D Marios better too....and your right,they should bring back Raccoon Mario,he's awesome.

I don't even know what to say about this game because I usually like to nitpick instead of saying what I like. So... ummm... the camera is not perfect... errr.... the colours in Mushroom Kingdom seemed a bit off... That's it, I guess.

Yeah, the camera is a bit wonky, but aside from that the game is perfect. Is it too early to say it's better than Mario 64?
