About Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy and the fourth 3D platformer entry in the Mario franchise. The sequel retains many elements from its predecessor, such as the adventure being in outer space, the element of gravity, and recurring objects such as Launch Stars and Sling Stars. Returning items include the Bee Mushroom and the Fire Flower. However, the game introduces new elements as well, such as the utilization of Yoshi, new power-ups like the Cloud Flower, and the use of a guide within the game for beginner players.

What's interesting is watching it climb duels against genre outliers like Limbo, where the vote often comes down to nostalgia rather than genre comparison at all.

Me acuerdo de pasarme galaxias enteras sin entender bien la gravedad, y aun así no me cansaba nunca.

It plays tighter than the games it keeps getting compared to, that's for sure, but Mario 3 and World still have a design cleverness this one doesn't quite match.

Recuerdo jugarlo en casa de un primo un verano entero, sin pensar nunca en si merecía tal o cual puesto en ninguna lista.

Il tient très bien la comparaison avec World, sauf peut-être pour mon petit doigt qui a morflé sur certains niveaux.

What gets me is how much they reused from the first game, down to the same enemies and the same feel... and yet the new level ideas somehow don't feel recycled at all. It's an odd combination that shouldn't work as well as it does.

La cámara sigue teniendo los mismos problemas de siempre en los tramos de gravedad invertida, y con tanta variedad de gravedades eso se nota más que en el anterior. El control del salto es preciso, no lo niego, pero cuando la perspectiva se complica el juego no siempre ayuda a leer el espacio.

La caméra reste un vrai souci par moments, mais l'ensemble tient largement sa place.

Il fait exactement ce qu'on attend de lui (et un peu plus).

Je n'y ai touché que par sessions courtes le soir, jamais plus de vingt minutes... et ça m'a suffi pour comprendre l'attachement des autres, sans forcément le partager à fond.
