Impressed With Mario Galaxy So Far. Contender For GOTY? Wii Mote Adds Nothing.

YEah last night i played the game at gamestop and i kinda liked it Despite the lame Wii Mote. Really, the wii mote adds nothing new which i wised u can used a regluar GC controller or somthing. Spinning attack is by shaking the controller which felt very unatural. Anyway, i still got into the game for a while then i left.

Also, ZELDA and MArio need a new concept because this saving the sameprincess is LAME

b) mario and zelda do need better stories. maybe they should use the formula in my sig?

lol this coming from some one with "psp" in there namedeadmeat59

got a one in my sig and i stilllike mario but luigi even more

TP won awards for its story.

Story is about the characters adventure; hence mario's story isn't just the act of rescuing peach, its everything leading up to the rescue. This usually means mario visiting fantastic worlds.. Not to mention mario and his universe is very colourful and charming. Alot of good fantasy is so great because of its imagination.

Oh, but if you want a story that revoles more around characters.. try the paper mario games. Not only do they have some good character development, but they are quite funny!

As for controls; i'm trying not to spoil too many of the games mechanics/features so i don't know a whole lot about its controls. However, i do know you can stun enemies by pointing and shooting at them, i'm sure this is good. Also, shaking the nunchuk for a spin attack is great in twilight princess, in fact this made the spin attack one of the more useful and easy to perform moves in the entire game.. i don't doubt mario galaxy's spin attack is great too

Anyways; yes Mario Galaxy looks like gaming perfection! :)

b) mario and zelda do need better stories. maybe they should use the formula in my sig?Awinagainov

Something like:

A fat Italian plumber, with no sidekick, travels to the depths of outerspace, in order to save Princess Peach from Bowser once again.

Looks like they have been using your formula.

so you didn't notice that shaking it makes mario spin and pointing stops things and picks them up?

a) the wii mote is a gimmick, and games are only as good as the devs who make them, and nintendo is very good.

I agree. I was playing SMG,and while it was fun, I didn't really notice a difference gameplay than any other game ive played with a regular gamepad. Only thing "unique" is the you can do twisty things with the Wiimote.Heh,maybe the Wiimote gets put into play more through out the game.

Hmm.. how far did you get into the game? And did you even realize that you can use the pointer to pick up crystals? Also, later on you use it as a kind of grapple beam where you attach to these bubbles. Playing any game for 10 minutes is never enough to make a serious judgement on it.jbrittain

if that underlined part is not the epitomy of "gimmick" I don't know what is.

Keeping motion sensing to a minimum is how you properly use the feature.

Unless its driving or flying.

:lol: exactly

Wii mote is a nice 'option' to have. It should not be forced into every game for the sake of using it.

But haters can bash the Wii-mote as they see fit: 1) If the game uses it, its being tacked on. 2) If the game doesn't, it's proof the Wii-mote is not necessary and nothing but a gimmick.

when used too much it is bad

when used too little, the game lacks feeling

when used appropriately, a good game feeling

last gen graphics + lack of wiimote use = what else are they supposed to think?

The graphics are good but nothing the gamecube or XBOX couldn't do.

Well, I hope they don't think a game needs the very best graphics possible to be any good.

I haven't played the game in its entirety, but if Nintendo thought of a great new game with great gameplay, I am glad they made it regardless if it doesn't happenshow off the system.

It is Mario. It's going to have a cartoony look. It should have a cartoony look.

But, I haven't seen how busy the game gets (GC had some framerate problems. Maybe Wii does not). I haven't heard the music. I don't know if it effectily uses the Wii mote, and I don't know if the entire game HAS last gen graphics.

Hey, its on Wii, looks like fun. And fun is all i really look for.

Sure it looks great. Prob the best wii game to date. But again...nothing you can't do after 4 years making gamecube games. Seems like what a gamecube game would look like once you've mastered the technology. Super Polished title.

that the resolution of a game has little bearing on its quality and more traditional controls are preferable to motion controls if the latter can not be implemented well

I dsagree. This game has some outstanding effects - and, more importantly, a steady framerate at 30FPS.Erkidu

60 fps.

Would you rather have motion controls shoved down your throat every five seconds? No. It's made to compliment the experience.....not to be the main course.

plus from whatI played...the instances where the wiimote's features are use are really fun.

Especially that manta ray race track.

The reviews say otherwise, saying it uses the controls very uniquely.

A super strong battle tested Cyborg, with an exiled alien sidekick, travel through space and to giant doomsday devices, in order to save their race, and the entire universe from mass marder.

What thats got to do with this?

They've used that system since Super Mario Bros., just with a different location and Luigi as a sidekick.

Thanks for the review PSP107, I just canceled my preorder.iunderstand

I want call it a review.
