Is this one better than the first?
I own and played the first, but didn't really enjoy as I did past Mario titles; so I haven't purchased SMG2 yet.

Imperator5758d ago

If you have a Wii, there's absolutely no excuse for not owning this game. If you don't have a Wii, then try playing it. Heck, I'd even tell you to buy a Wii (200 bucks for Galaxy 1&2, Zelda, Metroid, NSMB Wii is worth it imo).

hoops5758d ago (Edited 5758d ago )

Easily one of the best games to come out this generation. Its actually better then the first one. Nintendo just might have GOTY with this title. Its just that good

BryanBegins5758d ago

Well if you didn't enjoy the first, you will likely not enjoy the second one. They are very similar. I eprsonally fully enjoyed both.

Better than the first one.....new stuff to play with on every level.

CoffeewithChess5758d ago

I don't know what it was about the first one, it just didn't "hook" me like Super Mario 64, or even Super Mario Sunshine(yes, I enjoyed it more than SMG).
I got enough stars for the final boss fight, then never went back after beating it. It was like I was forcing myself to finish the game, hoping it would get better. I kept the game, thinking if I play it again, perhaps it'll be a different experience now.

Mahr5758d ago

Personally, I would say that Galaxy 2 is so far the best Mario platformer ever made -- but if 64 and Sunshine are your gold standard, I don't imagine you'll get much more enjoyment out of Galaxy 2 than you did in Galaxy. Those games were all about exploration and combing over each centimeter of each world for coins of varying color and finding stars in every nook and cranny.

But while 64 had something like 7 stars a level, Galaxy 2 will only have say two or three before sending the player off to the next mostly-linear level.

tunaks15758d ago

Galaxy 2 has more of a variety then 1. I think thats why im gonna go back and re-play the game more then I did the first one.

CoffeewithChess5758d ago

Perhaps Yoshi helps add to the variety as well, at least from the small clips I've seen it looks like fun.

tunaks15758d ago

it does, there a bigger levels this time around that bring it back to the super mario 64 experience.

Everything about the way this game was developed is screaming out that the price point is way off the mark!

This just looks like Nintendo, really scraping the barrel and rubbing in their fans faces. It's just dirty at this point!

Super Mario Odyssey Turns Seven - Ranking the 3D Mario Games

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.

3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."

One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched

TiredGamer494d ago

I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.

Cacabunga494d ago

I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits

Chocoburger494d ago

I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.

Profchaos494d ago

Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.

It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1

Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.
