Dec 24, 2016The first game is one of the greatest masterpieces in the entire video game industry. This however, is an average sequel. It has none of the magic that made the first game great, straight up copies huge elements from the first game without adding anything that substantially changes the gameplay. This should have been released as an expansion, it doesn't deserve to be called a full sequel at all.

Jan 26, 2011A bad game? No it isn't. Overhyped? Definitely. While the Mario gameplay is improved in some ways in this game, Mario has been repeating for years in terms of story and gameplay. It is far too repetitive. The game isn't amazing visually either. While this game is not bad, it is the most overhyped in 2010.

Dec 22, 2013Honestly, this game is a copy-paste of the first SMG. It's a great game on it's own, but it's basically the first game, add Yoshi, and make it slightly less magical and fun in every other area. If you want a REALLY GOOD GAME, just get the first SMG. So, don't get me wrong, this game is good, but I suggest playing the first one first.

Sep 27, 2015All my complaints about Galaxy 1 apply here as well. 1 and 2 are very similar games. Some stuff was added, some removed, but none of it is particularly important. It's still a risk-free whitewashed Mario experience. I will say that if you're looking for co-op, Galaxy 2 offers better co-op than Galaxy 1.

Nov 26, 2015Super Mario Galaxy 2 is so much better than the first one,but it still dosen't wow me though.the controls are the only bad thing while everything else is really good.The levels are amazing,the graphic are great and YOSHI!!!!!This is still a pretty good game.

Sep 12, 2021Not bad, but far, far from perfect. Around halfway or 2/3 through, the game gets a lot grindier than the previous half.

Dec 21, 2022There's a lot that it improves from Galaxy 1, but overall this is basically just 'more super mario galaxy'. There are new ideas, new mechanics, new levels. Sometimes it exceeds the heights of its predecessor, but its not nearly as innovative as Galaxy 1 overall.

Jan 18, 2011If you loved the first Super Mario Galaxy, you will adore the sequel.
-
While Super Mario Galaxy 2 could easily have been a cheap cash-in with a few lackluster additional levels, it manages to be something more. It expands on the gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy and adds enough new twists and turns to feel like a full-fledged sequel.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is largely more of the same, and that helps make it a phenomenal experience. Nintendo didn't reinvent the formula. Instead, it took what fans loved about the prequel and then jazzed everything up with never before seen galaxies, planets and a more streamlined user interface.
