45 minutes of game time and already the best game I've played in the last 5-6 years....

The gunship music from Super Mario Bros 3 at the beginning is awesome

:cool: :retro:

Got this yesterday and I have to say I think pretty much all the reviews have got it spot on. Graphically its the best game on the system, the water effects are stunning (can't believe other games are still so lazy with water these days...) level are bright and really well designed.

Music is fb too.

I'm not great with platformers (or most games in general... I suck at them, but I just can't stop playing), But 4 hours in and I am on 16 stars. Which is probably slow going by everyone elses standards, but I am really enjoying the experience.

Is it just me or has Mario lost a little pace since sunshine?

Anyways, as far as I am concerned after 4 hours play this is the best game I've play in the last few years

The rocky road galaxy is seriously tough.

The surfing galaxy is ffffffffb though

Mario Sunshine was more like Luigi's Mansion for me, I don't really consider it to be a typical Mario, though it was actually a lot of fun

I have heard comparisons between The three main Mario games from the 2D era and the 3D on various boards /podcasts and I must say I pretty much agree with them.

Super Mario Brothers is Super Mario 64:

Both games were revolutionary for platform games. They introduced elements never seen before in their type of games and were the benchmark for the games that followed.

Super Mario 2 (USA/EUR) is Super Mario Sunshine:

Both these games took the established rules of the game stripped away features whilst adding new strange ones that change the game play mechanics.

Super Mario 3 is Super Mario Galaxy:

Both these games went back to the core game play elements and expanded upon them to create a far better game. In the case of Mario 3 it kept the basic game play mechanics of SMB and added new power ups and items, whilst also splitting the game world into little bite size levels. Mario Galaxy does the same thing, keeping the basic mechanics and adding new features on top.

Wow long post, hope that all makes sense </BLOCKQUOTE>

I can't wait for the 3D game that is like Super Mario World then. SMW is my favorite of the 2D Mario's and was my favorite in the entire series until I got Galaxy this week.

Was on from 8:24 till 2, then 2:30 till 4, then about 9 till 1. So that's what, 11 hours.

Haven't played it yet today, just got up.

It's just TOO damned good

[retired_jshendel]

My only small (and i mean small) probolem with it, is the camera system can be abit awkward when on levels like the Space junk galaxy
