Pretty much what you guys say it is will determine if I buy it and a Wii.

If SMG is a ripoff of 64, then wouldn't all sequels just be ripoffs of the predecessor?

Just watch the video reviews, both Gamespot's and IGN's and decide for yourself...

In no way whatsoever is the game a rip-off of Mario 64. It got a 9.5 from GS for a reason.

GTA: SA got a 9.5 from gamespot and that is as big of a rehash as it comes.

How can a game ripoff it's prequel...?

I think buying any console for just one game is dumb, but yeah, SMG is amazing. One magazine gave it an 11/10.

Its very innovative, the gravity system makes for interesting puzzles but tbh if your any good you'll find it too easy so it might not feel like you've got your moneys worth in quantity (certainley not in quality) so in sense if your just buying a wii for that then its not worth it (unless its your fav game ever than buying a console just for one game is never worth it) but if theres a decent amount of others games your interested in then go for it but just remember you may say im gonna get a wii but getting your hands on one is still pretty hard :P

I went in comparing it to SM64. Trust me, SM64 is lightyears better, but at the same time SMG feels nothing like it.

Watch the videos, really we don't need to serive it to you on a sliver platter.

The best thing about it would have to be the gravity. You can walk around the small planets, and jump from one to the other (and go into orbit).

Just read some reviews and watch some gameplay on youtube.

Maybe.

On SMG. Innovative? Yes. Definitely innovative.. physics.

Innovative gameplay? To an extent.. kind of a repeat.. not entirely though...has some new gameplay aspects, but some old.

Story? Well, It's a Mario game. Take a wild guess.

Wii remote contols? Mediocre. Which is why I believe this game should have recieved a 8.0-8.5.

And on co-op? Non existant, really.

Hell no! I got GTA:LCS for my psp, a couple of weeks ago and started playing it. Then I got GTA:SA for my PC, and I have to say it's 1000times better! It fixes tons of stuff, and the graphics are totally awesomer.

I have watched a lot of videos and read reviews and it sounds just like SM64 to me.

If gravity is the only thing new, well that isn't much.

You shouldn't really buy a console for just one game... are there any other Wii games you are interested in?

To answer your question... while it is very nostalgic, it is very innovative. The level design is amazing and the power-ups are fun.

Yeah, it looks a lot like it. But it feels nothing like it. Whether that's good or bad, I'll let you interpret.

Then don't buy it, simple as that. Don't buy a 360 for games like Gears of War/Bioshock/ Mass Effect because they all rip off of their spiritual predecessors, respectively. Don't buy a PS3 because Heavenly Sword and Uncharted are ripoffs of Tomb Raider and GOW

I would say its more of a rehash of a 2D side-scroller that we played 15-16 years ago and thats SMW. Its the same game only in space and only in 3D.
