Cant put the thing down, everything is so good about it, even the ability to have a second player just picking up the stars and helping prevent some of the baddies from moving. Sooo good.
How old are you?
Ocarina is a classic like Mario64. No way Galaxy beats those two. Get your head out of your ass.
i see what your saying, but that question mark confuses me :) i don't see anything that would qualify it as the 'next step' other than a little waggle here and there, the spherical levels were introduced in Ratchet and Clank 2, so i don't see any innovation.
I haven't made up my mind about Galaxy yet since I don't think I'm far enough in, but the term itself has always kind of bothered me. I see people throw it around a lot when they really like a game, and oftentimes it just doesn't seem to fit.
One example I can think of is Bioshock. It was an absolutely fantastic game with a good story and a great setting, but people kept calling it revolutionary and I couldn't understand why. It was a stellar FPS in a sea of mediocre FPSs that had a good story and a good setting, but there's nothing about the game that turned my understanding of the FPS genre on its head, or really even introduced a radical new concept that I hadn't seen before.
What does revolutionary mean to you? What are games you consider revolutionary?
Yeah, it's a buzzword now, sadly.
My family makes fun of me because when I play games, I get all serious and I look almost pissed off. I only laugh and stuff during multiplayer with other people on the same console. But the whole freaking time I play Galaxy, Im smiling. My fucking cheeks hurt because Im smiling. Im having that much fun with UR MR GAY.
Does it deserve the second highest score on Gamerankings? Depends. Im not far enough through it to make a judgment. But I also think scoring games is fucking retarded and pointless.
Anyways, Galaxy is an amazing and fun game. It is, so far, my favorite game this year.
I also may be biased since I am having a hell of a good time playing this game, but ... I think "revolutionary" -- while maybe a little too much -- is almost dead-on. :)
Galaxy & Portal really brought some awesome play mechanics this year. But they're so singular it'll probably be hard to build a "revolution" on them without just blatantly ripping them off.
As has been said, it's not groundbreaking for 3D platformers the way that SM64 was, or the way SMB was for sidescrollers. But it's about the best that we've ever seen in its genre, like SMB3 was back in the day.

Forgot the original gangsta
I prefer Galaxy and Twilight Princess over Mario 64 and Ocarina by a huge amount. And it has nothing to do with graphics.
