IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10

I agree with Rob that, yes it's going to be a great game and isn't perfect.
But I'd still regard it with a 10. Not necessarily a perfect game, but more that the 10 represents a must buy game. Or at least in my eyes.And that's normally how I see ratings like this

That's how I see it, too. Perfect scores are best saved for those games that you just absolutely must have. If a perfect score meant that the game was perfect, then we'd never see a perfect score.

I know it's been posted already, but I wanted to make a thread about it so everyone sees. IGN (y'know, the "you can't spell ignorant without IGN" IGN, the very same that has been known to be very biased against Nintendo) has just reviewed Super Mario Galaxy 2, and they gave it a perfect 10 in every category. See it for yourself:

For the last hour or so, I've been reading a bunch of Super Mario Galaxy 2 reviews. Each and every one of them is full of nothing but positive comments. It seems to have completely blown everyone's expectations, somehow completely topping the original Super Mario Galaxy, and, dare I say it, every other Mario game before it. Of course, that's a matter of opinion, but an awful lot of people are expressing that opinion, and I can't wait until Sunday to see if it holds true for me (and I'm sure it will, and I've possibly never been more excited for a game in my entire life). Seriously, I cannot express this enough... If you have a Wii, GET THIS GAME. If you're a gamer, there's really no excuse for you to not have this game in your library. It's truly a game for everyone, and an amazing one, at that. From everything that I've heard and seen, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be an absolute blast. I just can't wait to experience it for myself now. Just a little longer... Sunday can't come soon enough!
I wasn't planning on even getting it, but I guess I will if it's that great.

You should never buy games based on hype, only buy them if you're really interested in them.

I thought you don't read reviews 'cause they're biased?
They're only biased when he doesn't agree with them 8D
That makes sense.
>_>

No. First of all, I still read reviews. But I can tell when reviewers are just being biased, at which point I consider the entire review to be invalid. But this one's different. This review is coming from IGN. IGN has been known to be biased against Nintendo before, and they're one of the reviewers that I have a problem with the most. Yet they gave this game a 10. That goes to show that the game must have wowed IGN a lot for them to give it a perfect score. That just convinces me even more than Super Mario Galaxy deserves its perfect score.

Hype seems to have gotten me some good games so far :P

If it works out for you then go for it, but following hype has only given me disappointment.

Well, sometimes you need to buy games that you think you may not be interested in, because it could turn out that you will love them. For example, I could really care less if I ever play Ōkami (and later Ōkamiden) or not, but I'm still going to get them (eventually) because everyone keeps recommending it to me. The thing is, I don't really know if I'll like it or not, because I haven't played it yet. It would be a different story if it was a game of a genre that I completely dislike, but it's an action-adventure game, which I like, so it's worth giving it a shot. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a platformer game, and an incredibly good one as it's looking, so if you enjoy platformers, you should pick it up just to see. Chances are, you'll love it, considering all these extremely positive reviews.
 
Also, how is IGN so biased against Nintendo? I was just looking at some reviews for some well known Wii and DS games, and they all have excellent reviews.
 
Uhh, wonderful? What I don't see is where you got the idea that they are biased against Nintendo. Being biased is something tweens on message boards do. These people are paid for their fair, yet subjective opinions and ability to craft an accurate summation of the game's experience.

Plus, nintendo games have the most 10's from IGN than any other companys' games.

Yep. Ocarina of Time has a 10 rating on there, right?

Yeah, and like 3 or 4 more Zelda games as well.
 
Also, no one is trying to contest that Nintendo knows how to craft a quality game. They've been at it for too long to mess up now. Although, they have been severely limited by the choices they made for their consoles.
