Doubt it beats Sunshine, but maybe it'll be worth playing.

Sunshine got kinda a bad rap for no reason. Okay it had some really lame cut scenes and the secondy characters were horribly designed. The actual levels and gameplay were still great I thought.

Soo... apparently it ships with a "Rush to Floor" box, and some Best Buy's have already sold out

Mario 64 set the standard for 3D gaming right off at the beginning of N64's lifetime...

Sunshine was the first official Mario game since M64, it meandered about somewheres in the middle of the cube's lifetime looking like an upgraded N64 game, and I believe some people complained that it didn't bring anything new to the table outside of what some folks labeled a "gimmicky" water pack... thing (which probably wouldn't have been quite as big a deal at the time were it not for the fact that Nintendo hid it in previews like it was some big secret... Not featuring it in screenshots and the like)...

But a 92% rating on Gamerankings is hardly a "bad rap"... Personally I thought the game started off quite fun until I completely lost interest somewheres around the halfway point...

I highly enjoyed Sunshine........and i'm gonna enjoy this one for sure. Look at those reviews!

I just finished reading the reviews on IGN and Gamespot.....man this game sounds so damn good! It's a heeee Mariooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaa

So I finally beat it with 120 stars. The last Bowser stage is awesome, though the last fight left a little to be desired.

I like how IGN calls the graphics "Outstanding on the Wii," and then gives it a 9.5.

I guess I don't know where you're going with that. They are outstanding for the Wii. The 9.5 is a clear statement that there's always room for improvement, as Jason says. But if you're inferring they should give it a low score on graphics because it doesn't compete with Xbox 360 or PS3, I disagree. I think it only makes sense to rate the game for what was possible given the circumstances.

Angrist · 11-11-2007, 03:44 PM

Or else all the DS/PSP games would score low on graphics.

Sweet picked up my copy at their launch event, which was actually pretty sweet.

Got me three free SMG T-shirts
Some pins and a patch.
As well as the coin and game.
My picture with MArio.

Finished the first.. er.. Galaxy I guess.. don't know what you call the entire thing since individual boards are galaxies as well.

Sweet game so far.
