IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepa lot

PS3 and 360 are not all about shooters. There are some that you might like.
And lolwut, their controllers? Silly reason not to like them.

I'm very aware that they're not all about shooters, but the games that aren't shooters don't appeal to me, either. And a fair number of people hate the Wii solely because of its controller, so why is it so farfetched for me to dislike the PS3 and 360 for their controllers? If I can't enjoy the console's controller, then how can I possibly enjoy playing any games on that console?

It's a stupid reason for anyone not to play a console solely because of it's controllers.

That's the thing, though. I've played the 360 and PS3. But I just couldn't enjoy the controllers. Their shapes were weird, I didn't like the buttons on either, the 360's was quite bulky, and I've never liked the Playstation's X, O, triangle, and square buttons. I guess the Wii has spoiled me with its motion control, which I much prefer to traditional controls. Of course, there are some games in which traditional controls are better, such as Super Smash Bros. But for the majority of games, I can't imagine them being made without motion controls now (or with two screens, one being touch sensitive).

I love my bulky white Xbox controller

And I love my Wii Remote. See? Why can't gamers just get along and accept their differences in taste and preference?

Dunno. Think it's something too trivial to get upset over.

Here's a thing: The gamecube controller and the xbox controller have near enough the same layout of their buttons. The position of the sticks, the dpad.
The main thing being how the face buttons aren't in a diamond form on the gamecube.

And anyway, no matter what controller you're picking up for the first time, it's going to be a little new. You aren't going to like it all that much.

Wow, I'm actually pretty shocked. Apparently this game is even more incredible than I pictured it to turn out. IGN boosting the game's sequel to a 10? GT kept it about the same... 9.8 -> 9.7

In either case the game is a must buy and will most likely become game of the year. Nintendo can do amazing things, and I need to learn to be less surprised.

The only decent question we can ask is "Which is better, SMG 1 or SMG 2?"

I loved the Wii controller when I first picked it up. It was very simple and easy to use.

The only Nintendo controller that I ever had a hard time getting used to was the Nintendo 64 controller, and to a lesser extent the Classic Controller. Ever other Nintendo controller just seemed like a natural fit to me, especially the Wii Remote. Anyway, I've given the 360 and PS3 a chance, long enough to decide that they're just not for me. I'm not saying that they're bad, I'm just saying that they're not my type of console, just as the Wii may not be yours.

The Wii's controller is not included in this, seen as it is so simple.

GameSpot also gave it a perfect 10.

In fact, according to Metacritic, it has ten perfect review scores, and none of the other ones have gone below a 90.

I'm assuming that you must have absurdly tiny hands to think that the 360's controllers are bulky, the... handholds, I suppose... are smaller than a Wiimote, and similar in size to the nunchuck. And speaking of the nunchuck, you can not possibly find that more comfortable. It has an angle that sticks directly into your hand. If you ever get the chance, compare the two. I just did.

I find the Xbox controller pretty comfortable. Either way, you get used to it, and it's a horrible thing to judge a game system on, their controllers.

I still won't get it, seeing as people said that SMG was terrific, but I got bored of it quickly.

 

[Micah]

Yeah, that.

I'll probably pick up SMG2 later in the summer when I'm done paying off the last $400+ on my computer. It does look like a fun game, just not as good as my personal favorite Mario platformer, Sunshine.

Now that I think of it, I might have been thinking of the original Xbox controller. Either way, neither Xbox controller suited me. I didn't like the buttons, the button placement, the control sticks, the D-pad, and just the overall feel of it. I just didn't like it. And, yes, I find the Nunchuk to be very comfortable in my hands. Don't *censored.3.0*ing tell me what I can and can't find comfortable. I have my preferences and you have yours. Why is that so hard to believe?

But you won't get bored from Super Mario Galaxy 2. All the reviews are saying that, though the original Super Mario Galaxy got boring at times, the sequel never bores you. It keeps throwing new things at you constantly. I'd really consider it if I were you.

Now I really want it! And I also think it releases here when it's Sweden's National Day.

I think you missed the part "people said SMG was terrific" but he got bored of it quickly.

People just happen to think SMG2 is terrific, too. He is allowed to have his own tastes, you know.

I think he's just trying to tell him that it might not be so bad than the first one.
