The game doesn’t have a good plot and the game is very hard to know what to do in. In my opinion this is the worst game I have ever played

I don’t see what all the hype is about. This game is so generic and people only like it because it’s Mario. If you took the exact same game and gave it a different title with a slightly different main character, everyone would hate it.

People who love this game need to seek psychiatric treatment because they are not in love with the game but only the concept of mario, and thus, their childhood. If you look at the game itself, it has aweful graphics, the controls are horrible, and all you do is jump from platform to platform (yawn). People need to grow up, get a grip on reality and think outside the [?] box.

Mario has lost his way since the days of the 8 bit nintendo. While Super Mario Galaxy is an improvement from Sunshine, I think that Mario 64 is better than Galaxy. The best of the Super Mario series of course being 1 and 2.

I found the orientation of Galaxy to be disorienting and uncomfortable. As Mario, you move from planet to planet as levels. The object typically being to find and collect the Super Star. Each planet is like a ball that you run around on, but the camera does not change perspective. [..]

Graphically, this game looks good for a Wii game, though only somewhat better than what you would expect from a Gamecube. The music scores are orchestrated, but uninspired. The music from the old 2D Mario games were much more spirited. Rating: 2 / 5

Many associate the Mario games with fun. I associate the name Mario for one mediocre platformer from the 80s/90s and a load of marketing hype and crazed fanboys.

There’s no real story, the weak and uninteresting main character has no personality, the platforming has been done better before, all the “innovations” – most of them eon-old rehashes – feel forced, no sense of completion can be gained and the “fun” the game radiates seems false.

I suggest playing Spyro the Dragon for PS1 instead.

When I couldn’t skip over the opening cinematic; when my roommate kept using the second controller to make me jump to my death; when my roommate kept using the second controller to shoot me with my meteorites; when I couldn’t adjust the camera to keep track of Mario, I shut this thing off and went back to “Sea Monsters.”

Also, there were way too many jitneys in this game.
