I was very much. All of the levels seemed very repetitive of themselves, and the storyline was terrible. I'm not bashing the game, for I love the Mario series dearly.

What bugged me about the game was, first of all, the UFO at the start of the game. I thought bowser had teamed up with a new enemy, making the story stronger. That wasn't the case at all. The UFO was never explained nor seen again in the game (except for one minor time).

Also, I didn't understand why peach was holding the Luma at the game's beginning.
Another aspect I didn't understand was the ending where Rosalina walks off and the luma is left sitting there alone. All of the "New Galaxy" stuff kind of anoyed me. What did that mean?!?

Ok, my final frustration in the game was this: the Mushroom Kingdom. You where hardly in it before Bowser attacks, and you never come back, *SPOILER ALERT* except for one time. *END SPOILER*

I'm getting very tired of having to venture out to new lands; I understand that the game was based on the space concept, but I believe the game could have been so much better.

What do you think?

*sorry buddy*

The game is what it is - putting Mario in space and letting him explore thusly. As far as I'm concerned, the game is flawless. Everything from the level design down to the music all fit in very well, and the plethora of different galaxies and planets made for a game that didn't feel repetitive to me. The only complaint that I would have is that it's over too quickly.

That's just the way I feel. Many people I've talked to feel exactly the same way.

Since when has the story been one of the most important aspects of a Mario? As far as I know, there hasn't been much of a semblance of a storyline since the last several or so incarnations, which was why I was turned off to Mario games for quite a long time since Super Mario RPG. I'm actually struggling to beat SMG not because it's hard or anything, but it's a bit duller than I expected. Though the music is definitely revived through the orchestra Koji Kondo has in his disposal.

yeah, it has a badass soundtrack. I think the game was...nice. But I didn´t feel like playing through the hole game again with Luigi

Don't get me wrong now, I do love the music.

It's an excellent game in my opinion, although the general gameplay scheme was extremely similiar to Mario 64. And the difficulty curve is the same, starting off extremely easy and not getting very challenging until around 60 stars. Also makes the game rather short to beat (getting all stars is a different matter, though).

The rest is mostly little things like the still awkward swimming and the life system that makes little sense (it doesn't save your lifes when you turn the game off, but they are found in such abundance, and game overs are meaningless anyway).
They could also have done a bit more with the mail system. All you get is a few letters from Luigi and a daily meaningless letter from Peach with 1-Ups attached.

So, is this the junio high school crowd that you're talking to?

Since when did Mario's plot ever have anything to do with the game? All you need to know is Bowser somehow has made off with the princess and it's your job to go get her dammit. Would you like the plot of Mario 64 better? She invites him up for cake and ends up being kidnapped by Bowser. At least this one's a little fleshed out.

Why are there so many bullies on here? I post a simple topic and bullies are attracted, like punkmaggit.

It's true that the plot in Mario games is the last concern (except for Paper Mario 2), but there's a limit to bullshit. It's fine if the game defies the laws of physics and involves stuff like magical mushrooms. However, I think I'd be bothered by that UFO too. If you wanna make up crap, at least give us an idea about where the crap comes from.

I must admit, Super Mario Sunshine kind of bugged me. Where the hell did Bowser Jr. come from? What about those stupid koopa kids from Mario 3 and 4? Are they all related? I still don't care so much that it haunts my dreams... Who's Mrs. Bowser?

Anyway, it's not okay to trash confedman just because he has complaints about the storyline. At the same time, it isn't reasonable to base complete dislike of a Mario game based on the plot.

Confedman, perhaps you could elaborate on some of the other points about Mario Galaxy you didn't enjoy. Or you could die. You have 24 hours to decide. Sex.

Yeah. I wouldn't make these kind of pitiful comments if I were you. It never ends well.
