I've loved Mario since that very first level back in 80-something or other, when his adventure came packaged with Duck Hunt on the same cart. I've followed his changes and improvements, through the bad times (SMB2) and the good (Super Mario World). There has never been a game I didn't enjoy. And I am glad to say that Galaxy is the top of the tree and deservedly so! I don't think its a 10 (come on, it is a bit easy - my friends and I got from 0 to 36 stars in about 4 hours), but my god it is one of the most enjoyable games EVER! There are very few moments of frustrating tedoum, which OoT had in droves. It too was an awesome game and a highlight of the 90s for me, but when you got stuck you got STUCK! Mario just brings back the joy and the love of gaming without all the hanging around waiting for stuff to happen. So in short, yeah, I prefer Galaxy, but it still ain't perfect. On an aside - who else wishes there was a 1st person view in SMG??? xx
