shattered memories or galaxy 2

Predictable story? There is no way you finished that game.

I'll be the first to admit it, I have an unreasonable habit of dropping games I can't derive any enjoyment from 40 hours in.

2 of my favourite Wii games are the 2 Pinball Hall of fame games.

Rhythm Heaven Fever

I still think Super Mario Galaxy might be the best game this generation, but there were several games that I would consider 5-star material.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Zelda TP. Its really just a toss up for me.

Hard to really argue against Super Mario Galaxy 2, but Rhythm Heaven Fever is a close second for me personally.

Good thing that doesn't stop you from making statements about the story as a whole. You should check out my review of the Sixth Sense. Of course, I ultimately didn't finish it because of its predictable "child psychologist treats deranged child" storyline.

After Twilight Princess in '06 it pretty much all went downhill, so I'd have to say that. I can honestly say that's my 3rd favorite Zelda game (coming from an avid fan).

Monster Hunter Tri was pretty neat, too, but certainly not on that level.

I thought it'd be self-evident that I was talking about the story only up to the point I'm familiar with, I'm not that unreasonable. The point I was making is that the story wasn't interesting enough for me to suffer through the unrewarding combat.

Galaxy 2

Rune Factory Frontier. Here's my review. I loved that game.

The Wii has been an interesting console. I have come to learn that it is normal by the standards of a Nintendo platform, at least since the N64, to play only a few games throughout the generation and feel generally satisfied with the purchase. Both the 64 and the GameCube were released when I still relied on my parents to purchase software for me. I played the ever-loving shit out of everything I had back then, because I got maybe two or three games a year. I have been financially independent since the Wii released and I hop on there maybe once every six months or so. It's a new experience for me.

As others have said - SMG 1 or 2 (or both - they were quite similar). Zelda Skyward Sword came close for me. After that, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, only because that was the only other game I played regularly on the Wii.

Jeff mentioned on Ocktoberkast that it would have to be Wii Sports where as Gary Whitta said it would be the original Super Mario Galaxy.

I'm not gonna try and make a case for Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins to the Moon because that game had issues, but it was definitely left the biggest impression on me out of all the games.

So I'll go with Super Mario Galaxy.

Super Mario Galaxy.

Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Mario Galaxy and DKC Returns.

For most people it's surely Sports. For moi, 'tis Galaxy hands down.

Super Mario Galaxy, for me. Yes, I prefer the first one to the second. Both are obviously fantastic though.

Honorable mention for No More Heroes too.

One of the Galaxys.
