I think it's going to be close and I really won't know until after I get every star in Galaxy.

From the looks of it; yes. But I can't tell for sure until I pick it up tomorrow.

I played it for about an hour in Gamestop andmy initial impression is yes, can't wait to get off work at 9 and go get it at EBGames. Yay for reserves.

Super Mario Galaxy might not be as revolutionary as Super Mario 64, but I'm willing to bet that Galaxy will be better.

Very good assessment. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I loved Super Mario 64 when it first came out, but the game wasn't perfect.

I'm almost certain it will be. Gameplay is great, graphics are great, the camera will be better. It's just such a great all around game, I can't believe we're mere days away.

Super mario 64 got a 9.4 on GS so apparently they think its better. By the looks of it I'd say I agree with them.

See, as 64 was, it was the first 'full' Mario game. That makes it more revolutionary.

Galaxy, however, is not as revolutionary, but is somewhat better

Most of the websites and magazines that I've read say that it's better than Mario 64, but I don't know if that's intirly true.

SM64 is a classic, it's a hard task to do so, but I think galaxy has what it takes to overpass

Have you played any platformers in the last 10 years? There's been tons of better ones. SM64 was the first but is definately not the best.

I would have to say yes it is better then Super Mario 64 as of now. I have collected 27 stars and played for about 6 hrs total since yesterday, and I have loved every minute of it. As of now I think SMG is better than Super Mario 64, but both are still great!

Its like comparing SMB3 to SMB1. Both are great games but SMB3 is a lot better, thats how it is with Galaxy. Of course it can't be as revolutionary as SMB1, only the game that lays down the foundation can do that. But that doesn't stop it from exceeding it in terms of everything else.

Imo, SMG>SM64>SMS

Galaxy will be a better game than 64, simply because it was made later and will have better graphics and awesome Wii-ness. But, that's just by game to game standards - it won't have the same effect on the industry as Super Mario 64 did... though Galaxy will revive the platformer market, Super Mario 64 truly ushered it into 3D, and for that, it'll always be remembered as the better game.
