Mario Galaxy "looks old fashioned and lifeless"

[FooFan]

Not my words... his

Well the first negative Mario Review has appeared and what a joke it is!

Still, bless him for trying

[wiimadjay]

just read that... all i can say is oh my god what an idiot!!! he must be one of those halo fanboys, or mr grumpy, who is never satisfied!!!

"But “Galaxy” makes poor use of the Wii’s motion-sensing controls and the graphics simply aren’t up to par with what players can now find on the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360."

no it doesnt and yes they are

"Nintendo fanboys are simply dismissing the review completely just because Sony has sponsored it"

So in summary, Sony sponsored a review criticising what will probably be the biggest Wii game for the next 6 months, but said review also bigs up a game just released on their struggling platform..

"There’s clever art design on many of the planets Mario visits, but given the vastly superior quality of the graphics in a game like “Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction,” currently available for the PS3, “Galaxy” looks old fashioned and lifeless."

I remember them doing the same thing to Sega with the Saturn, thank god people are a bit better informed these days.

I accept that not everyone out there is going to want this game or want to own a wii, but then again I'm not sponsored by anyone to say so

i would rather jump, run and fly around a psychadelic coloured universe than tramp through another boring henchman filled warehouse nomatter how good the graphx are.

Well for the money you pay to buy a PS3 and Ratchet and Clank you can buy (if you can find it ) a Wii, Super Mario Galaxy and a screen to play it on.

The essence of the game, as always, is that the evil dragon Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach

sorry, i think i missed something.... Dragon? i always thought bowser was more of a turtle?

As good as the game is, though, it’s evidence of how bad the Wii is for third-person action games, a problem first made clear in last year’s “Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.”

funny, i found Zelda to be really good

[TheKeyboardDemon]

Did they really describe Nintendo's game “Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” as a third party game?

I'll have to read that review when I get home, it's enough to keep coming back and checking the forum in between phone calls and other tasks, I just don't get time to read a whole review.

[Scotty32]

third person, not third party - or did i miss that too?
