Now you just told me that!  Normally I don't mind slight spoilers before a game release, but c'mon guys I was so good with this game, I watched a very few trailers and even when I saw the demo in store I played 2 or so minutes.  I really want this game to be a surprise in every way imaginable.  Please keep spoilers in spoiler tabs EVEN if you yourself consider it MINOR.


1. I never said what you unlocked after you get the 120 stars.

2. Is it really that big of a deal? It has been tradition that you get something when you collect all stars in the 3D Mario games, so why should this surprise you? Its a bonus feature, one that has been done before.

Its no gameplay or story spoiler so don't get your knickers in a bunch. Here's a big spoiler for you...Bowser is defeated and everyone has a happy ending.

It's not that the "spoiler" was, you get something after collecting 120 stars, the spoiler is what you get. I'm glad i saw this page first because i would have been angry too.

I posted the spoiler but I used spoiler marks to hide it. Like I said, I only said that you get something, not what you exactly get.

Bill is correct, 1up gives Mario Galaxy a 9.5

Oh and it should also be stated that 1up went back and changed the name of the original article.  Instead of 10 Reasons Why Galaxy Should be a Perfect 10, it's now 10 reasons Mario Galaxy could be incredible.

Um, is it just me or did I see not ONE real complaint about the game? The closest I seen was complaining about the "Cutesy" visuals and some collecting.

It's because 1up remembered at the last minute that they were playing a Nintendo game and deducted points for that very fact alone.

They gave Halo 3 a 10/10 and that game has TONS of flaws, even fans of the series admit that.

Actually it seems like they, um, knocked it off for its visual style and collecting? Or something like that.

I wonder how their retro review of Mario 64 would go:

Pros:
~One of the best games ever

Cons:
~You collect stars
~You can't actually eat the cake at the end

Only in the latter half of the game does the design falter -- a copy-and-paste level here, too much doodad collecting there, all topped off with a mind-bending final level that might be a bit too demanding for neophyte players who cut their teeth on Nintendogs and Brain Age.


I wonder what the heck is a copy and paste level? And wait a mind bending CHALLENGING level is bad?

What?  1up is speaking up for non-gamers?

Halo 3 is 10/10 because it wasn't made with non-gamers in mind?

I bet they are talking about the challenge levels, where you go to a previous stage you've been to and beat it in a new way (under a certain time limit, etc...)  Hardly cut-and-paste...(Not really spoilers, but there are those that are really picky about it)

I'm not worried about 1up. Free market forces are taking care of them.

Its like they aren't even trying to appear serious or objective, or hell, even sensical (is that a word?) about game's reviews, and I mean the big review sites in general, just get rid of the numbers or just plainly ignore them.
