BardicKnowledge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 So far, the game is absolutely amazing. I really like the idea of the orbiting comets that slowly allow challenges to be undertaken. I'm about to finish the 2nd dome. Is there still a star for 100 coins, btw? Haven't bothered trying yet.

Linkjing Donuts Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have 3 grand stars so far, and holy shit, it's pretty amazing. control under water still sucks as always (at least to me), the Bowser battle is awesome, and the overall design for each galaxy is all fun. I get a little confused when underneath some planets sometimes, but you get used to it. I still need to try the co-op mode. I hear it makes things so much easier.

The wingless Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 You know what is the most striking element of this game thus far? Striking in the sense that it caught me off guard. The music. It's this delightful blend of orchestral gravitas, irreverent acoustics, and synthetics hauntingly reminiscent of Disney's 80's vision of the future ala Horizons at Disneyworld. It's surprisingly beautiful and eclectic. I don't have many bold memories of latter-day Marios having excellent music. But Galaxy got that shit all up in yo' ass. Remixers, your time has come again.

Steben Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Been playing this game on and off since getting out of class earlier today (and skipped a late afternoon class to dedicate more time to the cause). Luckily, I have no shortage of roommates/friends willing to be my Co-Star, so I've played most of the game with assistance. I've also been the Co-Star, and I have to wonder why nobody thought of this before. (Well, except for Wind Waker's Tingle Tuner, which didn't count because you didn't help as much, and it required hooking up a GBA with a cable that most people don't own.) The Co-Star functionality makes it much more enjoyable to watch someone else play the game, because, well, you're not just watching. You can point things out on the screen, help out a weaker player, or just have fun OCD-ily collecting Star Bits. Or as they've been somehow named at my place, "naughty" bits. Mmmm... yeah, you're so naughty Mario. Collecting those naughty bits. Soooo naughty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsx100 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I just got in today and I am very impressed so far. The gameplay is just rock solid and the levels are very well designed. I'm sure they'll just get better the further you go into the game. Also is just me or does anyone else think its stupid how reviewers like Gamespot and GameInformer are comparing the game's graphics with that of sunshines. I honestly can't see any comparison at all. To me Galaxy looks much better in every way, especially animation wise and I'm even playing the game on 480i. Gamespot also ran this feature comapring the graphics and all they presented where some fuzzy screen shots. Those screens in no way do Galaxy justice.

Soma Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I picked this up earlier and I haven't played it much, about an hour maybe. I like it but the hype for it didn't really compare to Sunshines (at least to me). Because when i picked up Sunshine i played it ALL day and had like 70 shines at the end of the day. Maybe I'm just getting older. Seems pretty fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just getting older. Seems pretty fun though. See, I never got pumped for Sunshine. And to be honest, I wasn't too terribly excited about Galaxy, but man, I'm having a blast. I never really liked Sunshine all that much. Also, the music is just plain awesome. DVDs for games, voice acting in MP3, and now orchestrated music in SM:Galaxy... Is Nintendo finally catching up to the the rest of the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul v2 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Not all of them! And especially not SMB 3, which had the best music of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 They've been doing this for awhile :/ True, but this time its orchestral, and it has Mario 3 music, which is awesome. WHERE'S SOME MARIO 2 LOVE???? Galaxy is awesome. I feel great grief for the people who don't own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Got it yesterday, but only had enough time to get the first grand star and 2 other stars. Liking what I'm seeing so far. Realizing I'm not gonna fall if I jump over an edge is still taking some getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 ^I totally understand that...just wait until the first time you wind up in orbit between two different planetoids and have to curve around to force a landing on the appropriate one.

Katsurugi Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I need confirmation. Is long jump in the game??? I missed it so much in Super Mario Sunshine. I need me some long jump... it's the only way to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Long jump, side flip, backflip, wall jump, and triple jump are all in. No more punching -- instead all you get is the spin (which is just as good if not better anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need me some long jump... it's the only way to travel. yeah it is indeed in there. but they took out the spin jump they added in sunshine, the one where you rotate the stick 360+jump. Mario doesn't make the same "yahoo!" sound when he long jumps anymore though. sometimes he makes similar sounds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hale-Bopp Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Holy crap, I can't believe I'm 22 stars in and I haven't even tried the long jump yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you spin-attack an enemy, you can walk right into them and Mario will punch or kick the enemy. Not the same as Mario 64, but it's good to see Mario still has a violent side.
