Okay, typically I wouldn't comment in a thread like this. But GI is just utter trash when it comes to game reviews.
If someone can tell you that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a better game than Shadow of the Colossus, they are either a liar or an ****.
Well, Super MArio Galaxy is not a tenth of the artistic masterpiece that Shadow of the Colossus is, but as a game, and purely as that, Galaxy never drops the ball. There's no messing around, no frustration, little to no repetition, non-stop 3D platforming at its prime. While I absolutely adore Shadow of the Colossus, it is demanding on the player, time-wise, emotionally and patience-wise. Galaxy is accessible and fun throughout. I do believe it is overall a better game than Shadow of the Colossus, for it does an incredible job at being challenging and rewarding from the moment you pick up the controller till you put it down, while SotC demands investment.
Besides, Galaxy's gameplay is more finetuned, though not as epic in scale and innovative.
