Galaxy is essentially the exact same game we were playing 10 years ago on the N64, albeit with prettier graphics and dizzying space levels. This would not of been a bad thing if the entire experience wasn't completely brought down by the convoluted storyline, frustrating motion controls and annoying minigames that do nothing but detract from the experience.
+ Graphics are impressive for the Wii
+ Lots of fan service
- Motion controls
- Minigames aren't very fun
- Nauseating levels
- Awful storyline

I'm NO Nin fan but this site seems to basically try and pick on Nintendo...though they claim to cover all consoles.
If you look for reviews they are 90% Nintendo games and have tags like 'rape' 'i creamed my pants' 'hate' 'failure' etc.
Certainly not professional reviewers.

Just put the U R MR GAY letters in red i cannot believe them what kinda site is this
How does the site try and pick on Nintendo? The highest score given to anything is a Nintendo game, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, which is praised and awarded 5/5:

Zack and Wiki is also praised, and even called "one of the best games on the Wii ever:"

The reviews being 90% Nintendo (which is a very inaccurate percentage, but it doesn't really matter) means they are fans of Nintendo games, or they wouldn't bother reviewing games for their systems. As for the categories, the ones you mentioned are just for fun and aren't supposed to be taken seriously - judging the review quality and bias from the categories a post is under is just incredibly stupid and ignorant. Actually read the reviews before you start accusing them of bias because of some simple categories that are meant to be humorous.
They did do that to the letters in the sUpeR MaRIo GalAxY logo. I had to check it twice to see what you were looking for. I never heard of this site before but it seems very amateur to say the least.
Nintendo sets the standard for original ideas, gameplay control, level design, and above all fun factor. There is a reason that wii is selling to well, this is also the reason why nintendo struggles with thirdparty support. Companies who put less time and less effort into games on their platform turn out inferior (for the most part) to nintendo's first party games.
Most developers spend much of their budget on graphics, while nintendo uses more for the actual design process. Nintendo also isn't afraid to take risks, some pay off (DS) some don't (virtual boy) but they still push the envolope and set trends their competitor's follow.
I have 30 stars so far, and I haven't felt nauseous once. People who hate Nintendo sure do have weak stomachs...
It was nothing serious, but if I play for too long at once I can still get a little dizzy, and when I first started playing it, it happened a little more.
However, you're not supposed to be playing a game hours on end anyway, so...who really cares? It's never happened to me in the first 15 minutes, and you're supposed to take a break every 15 minutes anyway (that's any game, for those of you playing Halo 3 or Warhawk multiple hours straight!)
It's never been in the way of me enjoying myself, though.
What is this crap? Can any old piece of garbage wannabe get his opinions posted on N4G as news because he calls it a review? All that's clear from that review is that he didn't like the game before he even played the game. Screw that.
What does that have to do with anything? Sure, some of those at MEGATONik (myself included) used to participate in the Destructoid community (and some still do), but that doesn't mean the two sites share the exact same, or even similar, opinions. Reviews from any separate sites should be based upon each of the individual author's opinion regardless of previous or current interactions.
All i was saying is that it was weird that two sites that shared editors and community members had such varying opinions on the same game.
If all the editors and community members shared the exact same opinions it would be very boring and bland - variety in opinions is good and should be expected.
I understand that some people disagree with the opinions expressed in this review, but discrediting the entire site because the opinions in one post contradict your own (and those of the majority of other reviewers) is just stupid. If you don't agree with the review that's fine, but it doesn't make sense to judge the site (or even the author of this review) solely on a single article.
The author of this review makes clear his disdain for the Wii, and the review for the game reflects this. He wasn't going to like this game no matter what. Which means that he should if anything be writing articles about why he doesn't like the Wii, not reviewing games that he doesn't even really need to take the time to review since his mind is already made up. If a site allows this, then of course it reflects poorly on them.
super mario galaxy kind of feels like some of the missions on ratchet and clank, ripped from them , and the camera angles on super mario galaxy are kind of bad on those planets, and the game doesn't even offer voice acting except for a few words out of a sentence, kind of cheap
Metacritic: 97/100, the best game on the wii and firmly amoungst the top ten games on metacritic.
Need I say more?
sheep
Well in that case why does anyone care about this article at all?
"l4wl", you stated that the motion controls don't work half the time, while other sites practically praise the controls for their responsiveness. Is your wiimote broken or didn't you just understand that you have to wait for a second between spin attacks?
By the way, the correct version of "this would not of been" is "this would not have been".
the reviewers of this site obviously have some descripiton of bone to pick with either the Wii or Mario himself. From what i've heard this game is an absolute stormer on almost every level but storyline. They say that it's the same game as 10 years ago, but hey if it aint broke dont fix it - some of the best games ever were from 10 years ago (ocrarina of time for instance).
boo for sites like this
hooray for gamers this christmas
It's a Nintendo franchise. What do you expect? It's always been a paper thin story about Mario saving Peach from Bowser, and it works.
but Mario does starting to get bore but I still having fun with it but i'm getting the brawl this holiday anyway back to warhawk
Reviews are what they are the only review I care about is the one I have after I buy it ;)
This is my beef with the Mario franchise..... Look how abused it is...... Marios getting old no matter how good the game. Time to move on geeze.

Awesome comment dude. 1st laugh of my day.
So true, so true...
I guess fanboys must find some way of dealing with the fact that Mario kicks butt.
Maybe it's their way of dealing with the fact that Nintendo and Mario are spanking them and they are actually liking it...
Yawn, another site willing to throw away credibility in the hope of getting more hits.
THE HORRROOOOOOOOOOOR
i'm loving it, so why should i care what this guy thinks? WHY SHOULD ANY ONE CARE IF ITS A 2/5 or a 5/5!!!!!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-data received, recreating to log book.
We all know that was one of the most shallow and amateur-esque reviews in recent history.
That was the first time I've been to that site and after that review it's going to be the last, unless they have another wacky review linked on N4G......
They pretty much lost all credibility in one shot.
STUPID people are NOT entitled to their opinions. That's how we got the holocaust.
as for the best mario game im not to sure M64 still is the best mario game (3d) IMO, but im playing ratchet and clank TOD more than this.
