They are not the best games this gen, the best game is down to opinion. Some people can easily argue that ME2 is the best game this gen.

That being said, I feel that SMG2 is better than MGS4.

P.S- What is MSG4? Is it a game where you spray flavour enhancers at people until they are poisioned?

They aren't the best games this gen. It just so happened they were the only exclusives to get a ten on this website.

MGS4 is the more complete game, IMO. Plus the fact it was different to the other MGS games, whereas SMG2 was more of the same as the 1st.

both games clearly deserved its 10 imo, but in order for you to fully enjoy and understand why MGS4 is a great game, you would have to play its predecessors, while mario galaxy 2 is pure gameplay at its core, so i easily choose SMG2

SMG was my favorite game this gen. Until SMG 2 came out. MGS4 is still an amazing game though.

For me, easily MGS4. I loved everything about it., awesome end to a legend.

As for SMG2, I just can't get into either of the 3D Mario games. They were very boring to me.

I love it when people use this

I didn't care for SM64 or Sunshine. I don't even really care for the 2D Mario games. Yet, apparently the reason I love Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, is because of my nostalgia of the other games :lol:

Half-Way
On the other hand you can say that except PLatform core gameplay SMG2 doesnt offer not even 1/10 of what MGS4 has to offer. Great graphics , epic story telling , imbor soundtrack , great gameplay elements , memorable characters ( ok mario is the same 20 years now isnt? with morethan 40 spin offs already ) ... I mean , is just down to opinion. You can say SMG2 "easily" better than MGS4 for its pure gameplay, but i prefer MGS4 than SMG2 for everything else plus i think gameplay of MGS4 is top notch for its genre. Opinions

This is what I take from this thread: mind = blown, SMG2 and MGS4 both scored a 10/10 and share the same letters (and have a number) in their acronyms.

if u played mario on n64 then you have played every mario game because there is nothing different nintendo gets away with it because of nostalgiacoltgames

you only like MGS4 because of nostalgia, you fell in love with snake when you where younger, and even if the games are crappy you still like them.

see its easy to use the stupid nostalgia argument

IMO SMG > MGS

But IMO Oblivion, Fable 2, Forza 3, MLB The Show, GeOW, are all better games.

its funny because you made my choice even easier now, mario galaxy 2 has more epic gameplay elements, better soundtrack, great graphics and a better art direction, the overall design of the game is alot better. You might get a point for story in MGS4, but then you would lose it because of the confusing and bad way to tell the story.

so your right it really comes down to preference, but dont think your opinion is better, even if you havent played mario galaxy 2

It's the hypocrysy that kills me in this place , if anything MGS4 had more of a nastalgia factor that helped with it's score. I mean who could pick up MSG4 and have any clue about the story? or anything else (without having played the previous games) , yet anyone could never have played a Mario game and love SMG2. Yet leave it to a cow to reason like that.

SMG2, I prefer MGS3 over MGS4. Snake eater had a better balance between cut scenes and game play, not saying the MGS4 cut scenes were not awesome.

Well to be quite honest I don't see how either game received a 10. However SMG2 was 50 times more fun, and interesting to play than MGS4.

To put it simply:

SMG2 will be remembered as one of the greatest games this gen.

MGS4 will be remembered as one of the greatest games of all time.

i think its interesting to compare them story wise as 1 you only have a chance to get it if you play pretty much all the ones before (and i say chance because even if you did play you may not get it) adn the other, well, honestly idk but i'm guessing some blondie was kidnaped... again =P in other words these 2 games probably have the most complex and most simple stories in the entire industry. by the way if i had to choose MGS4 imo

Um why does a game need a story to be better? Mario Galaxy is a game in the finest sense with wonderful enviroments. A game like Half Life 2 is great because it tells a story without a cutscene and usually without scripted events. It tells the story through the enviroments and charectars. The City 17 Citadel building over the Eastern Block houses shows the humans are under oppresion from the combine but are quite naive of what they are or who they are

I dont think they are the best game of the gen but easily SMG2 is more enjoyable.
