Gamepro - 5 / 5
SMG is game of the year material - Okari, on 11/09/2007, -5/+53Those tenths of a point really mean something. I was going to get this if it got a 10, but now I'm not getting it.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -3/+47i think the most eye-popping is the gamespot score. seriously, they hate the wii and they smg the best score (gamespot doesn't give out 10s anymore).
- AwesomeMonster, on 11/10/2007, -0/+40Yeah, as a wii60 owner, I can tell you that you aren't going to get as many girls through halo as you will through wiisports...
As a regular guy, I can also tell you're a little insecure about your manhood. - Giggy, on 11/08/2007, -2/+32He's not just a 9.7 on the serious scale, he's a 10.
- Fredtheviking, on 11/09/2007, -1/+30Well, I beg to differ. I give the score of 9.69
- xadamxwaltonx, on 11/13/2007, -0/+26I hope my insurance plan will cover my melted face, after I play this game.
- Shanobi, on 11/09/2007, -1/+26You base your manhood on the fact that you play a videogame system?
What are you, 5? - Epacitythug, on 11/14/2007, -15/+38Best Mario Game ever
- atomicpoet, on 11/14/2007, -23/+45Laugh at me all you want, but I *wasn't* going to get this game. Rather, I was awaiting RE:UC. However, Metacritic gives this game a 9.7. This can be ignored no longer. I'm pre-ordering this. This game could very well be the game that defines this generation in console gaming.
- raiderj, on 11/09/2007, -0/+22Buy a Wii and have girls come over and play with it!
- peregrine, on 11/10/2007, -0/+20Sir today my girlfriend came over and wanted to play video games. She tried to play my roomates Call of Duty 4 but she could not it sucked to her. So we played wii bowling a FREE game and she loved it.
Its was not the first time the Wii got me my roomate, my friends or anyone who uses my room laid. Girls love the wii, its pretty its fun and its easy for them to play. Know who loves the 360? Men. I love the 360 but the Wii is probably the most 'manly' of all of the conosles being girls love it. - theshizzler, on 11/12/2007, -13/+31Ok, seriously. I want this game. Everyone who is going to want this game has already made up their mind. A sixth article giving it a 9.5+ isn't going to change any minds. Let's stop digging these please.
- atomicpoet, on 11/09/2007, -5/+22@mywhitenoise
My job entails playing games for other systems.
But let's say you're right and I am biased. Instead, let's look at what the critics say. IGN just rated it a 9.7. GameSpot rated it a 9.5. 1UP rated it a 9.5. Gamepro rated it a 10. - Hetman, on 11/13/2007, -1/+17Im so sad. I want to play this so bad. Well I bought a 360 for halo. I think I must buy a wii for mario. I would also like to play zelda and metroid. Damn you gaming industry for making me spend so much money!
- maduin, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15A real man buys whatever the hell he wants, regardless of what others would think. Pussy.

I want. Of course, it's being released the day before my last two huge finals. Arrrrg! - MasterPlayer, on 11/14/2007, -1/+15They gave WarioWare a 9.1! I really don't think they hate the Wii, they were just being tough on games that we've all played before except with Wii controls. I was afraid SMG was going to be the same, but I am so glad it isn't. I can't decide between the PS3 or 360, so I'm going to get a Wii instead.
- raiderj, on 11/12/2007, -2/+16I've been playing SMG for about a week now, and it is absolutely a fantastic game. It basically takes Super Mario 64 and completely updates it. Excellent use of the Wiimote, great graphics, and surprisingly, amazing surround sound!
If you have a Wii, this is definitely a must-buy! Right up there with Metroid and Zelda. Glad to see Nintendo hasn't lost their touch! - clackerd, on 11/09/2007, -1/+14man, the studios should hire you while the writers are on strike. you have the skill and talent to get an A+ on your next phonics test.
- matthobbs05, on 11/08/2007, -0/+13Dugg for not being a single-console fanboy.
- Shanobi, on 11/09/2007, -1/+14Yeah, not like that depressingly horrendous first year of shlock that the 360 had. Oh wait, you forgot about that miserable year which many referred to as the worst first year of gaming in console history?
Oh... - dasdef, on 11/09/2007, -4/+16wow what is up your ass?
- Shanobi, on 11/08/2007, -2/+13@mwhitenoise
Who are you to say that any game that isn't out yet will automatically be a great, or classic?
Mario is out and proving itself, the rest are demos, and basically games we've "done before" but now in HD. Galaxy is pushing platforming into new territories, something RE 5 will NOT do. - directive0, on 11/09/2007, -0/+11Sorry to me, SMB3 still wins. But I AM really enjoying it so far!
- xxeyes, on 11/08/2007, -2/+13If you have a Wii, "Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure" is also a must buy.
- fantasticFlan, on 11/09/2007, -1/+12Uh... /sarcasm
- shadowC, on 11/08/2007, -2/+12Lies, people follow separate sites. While you and many others may not feel the same way, there is a large user base that follows IGN and GS. They can persuade fairly well.
- Smwbigboss, on 11/08/2007, -1/+11Mywhitenoise, just stop talking right now. We all know you hate the Wii, you bash it in every Nintendo related article. But sitting here arguing isn't going to convert anyone.
- MutatedNantuko, on 11/09/2007, -1/+11120 stars will take FAR longer to get than all of the achievements in Halo 3. Gogo Wii
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9luckily I only accept numbers with exactly 2.0 sig figs
- cryptomystic, on 11/09/2007, -1/+10put down the controller and learn how to spell.
- CruJones, on 11/09/2007, -4/+13U R MR GAME OF THE YEAR
But seriously...I'm not going to believe the hype until I've played it. You don't just throw around comparisons to Mario 64 willy-nilly. - TheWiseNoob, on 11/09/2007, -1/+9The game never gets boring. Even after the storyline is finished(60 stars needed) the other 60 includes many special surprises along the way. I have never had so much fun playing a game to actually start playing it a second time immediately after I beat it.
- skywake, on 11/09/2007, -6/+14For its time I would say that Super Mario World was the "Best Mario Game Ever" and by god it has lasted and is still played now. I doubt that in 2023 people will still be playing Super Mario Galaxy to the same degree that people still play Super Mario World. I can't pass any personal judgement yet though because I haven't played SMG yet.
- atomicpoet, on 11/08/2007, -9/+17There are a lot of great games on the Wii. But this is a legendary game compared to all others. As much as I love Metroid Prime 3, it has scored a 90 on Metacritic. Zack and Wiki has only scored an 86. Fire Emblem has scored an 81. Hell, if we are going to compare other console games, Halo 3 has scored a 94.
I rest my case. You sould buy Super Mario Galaxy before all other games. - Konrad9, on 11/08/2007, -0/+8Too bad you're a douchebag, and not a gamer.
- coolcash2005, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8You are what I would classify as a "retard"
- nathew, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8You're all wrong. CD-i Mario was the BEST. EVER.
- jobobshishkabob, on 11/08/2007, -1/+8god i hate sig figs... kills me in any AP science class. one digit off and the answer wrong.
- happytedium, on 11/09/2007, -0/+6So many great games coming out! Argh!
Assassin's Creed is pre-ordered, Metroid Prime 3 just came out here today and I'm seriously thinking of going and picking that up after work, then there's SMG (though late November for Aust.), Gears of War on PC, Mass Effect... ARGH! - HastyBoom, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6Pre-ordered months ago :-)
- nathew, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6^^can't spell
- iofthestorm, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/supe ...
corrected link. Yeah, I want to get it too but then I've got tests and stuff so I'm thinking about grabbing phantom hourglass instead, since it will doubtless occupy less of my time.
Edit: someone should just submit this link so we don't have to digg the next 10 reviews... - BowieX, on 11/08/2007, -0/+59.69? You, my friend, are a biased Halo fanboy.
Can't you just grade games objectively? Come off it! I mean, SMG is worth at least a 9.691.
You'd better have a legitimate reason for knocking off that additional 0.001 point, otherwise I'm so not Wii friend-coding you. - Ike0, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5This is my personal game of the year. I haven't been this excited for a game release since Wind Waker 2003.
- bagboyrebel, on 11/09/2007, -2/+7because a game has to be violent and bloody to be good...
- culturedredneck, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5as far as i know, IGN posted this review just a few hours ago... the datestamp at the start of the article says 7 Nov.
- inactive, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5ign woluld've been burned down to the ground by now
- DavidGX, on 11/09/2007, -2/+7Get a Wii, then pick up a 360. It's a fantastic combo.
