Zero Punctuation: Super Mario Galaxy 2

This week Yahtzee reviews Super Mario Galaxy 2
Sarzysays...

It just occurred to me that Yahtzee is essentially the Armond White of videogame reviews. But then people watch Zero Punctuation because it's funny and entertaining, not for the opinions -- I'm not sure what Armond White's excuse is.

Pretty funny and Nintendo would laugh a long too, if you want to make jokes about the flat storyline, Nintendo has already beaten you to it many times. No one really cares though because we're too busy having fun (which he admits, though for me, when you're having fun, everything else is a moot point).

Bringing back level maps was also FRIGGING AWESOME, this was a case of the 8-90s getting it RIGHT and then 00s trying to be better and failing with horrid hub worlds or whatever the frig you want. The only decent hub world was Mario 64 and that was just a 3d level map really.

I also think Nintendo's new approach to making games accessible to a wide audience is commendable, it is entirely avoidable if you don't wish to look at it but quite informative and helpful to noobs. They've actually got the formula down really well and should be applauded not ridiculed, yeah the instructions are spastic obvious but they're not for you...they are for people who out right FEAR touching a button on any "technology" and on the Wii, they feel comfortable.

Anyway I know these videos are for entertainment but I can never help myself, that's probably what he wants the crafty bugger!

The main point made on this one is the best in a while. Nice to see he can still remain interesting after this long by getting to the crux of what is wrong with most re-hash games that have come out over the last several years...
