yes ac didn't do everything perfectly. But it has done some things better than any game before and pioneered technology that hopefully will be used in other games. Something which makes out a great game. Oh and despite some shortcomings it was an incredible fun game. Its gameplay was not as polished as mario that is true. But I like the ambitious games that have some failings more than the ones that play it save and succeed. I want devs to take some chances and push the envelope. But I think that comes down to taste. And in the end both are great games.

@Kyros

The problem with Assassin's Creed is that it was so epically ambitious, that when it failed in it's realization in so many aspects of the game, it was very notorious.

Galaxy on the other hand had realistic goals, and achieved them almost perfectly.

neck to neck with assassins which is unfair because assassins is by far the more impressive game. *duck* but its true ac may not be better but so much more innovative and ambitious. It deserves to win. There are too many mario games in the world

Best 3D Mario game. Eclipses Mario 64 and is way better than Mario Sunshine!

I loved all the nostalgia elements this game has... like the music from SMB3 Airships, the SMB3 level 2 music, the return of some classic SMB series enemies:
- Rocky Wrench from SMB3
- Bullet Bills from SMB1
- Torpedo Teds from SMW
- Bob-ombs from SMB3
- Thwomps from SMB3
- those moving blocks from SM64
- Koopa Troopas from SMB1
- Boos from SMB3
- Wigglers from SMW
- Magikoopas from SMW
- Fire Bars from SMB1
- Pokeys from SMB2

Sadly there are no Shy Guys in this game. The closest equivelant are the Sniffit like enemies found in Good Egg Galaxy.

SMG will eventually outsell Halo 3, don't you worry.

You have to realize, FPS have far, far shorter legs than a typical Mario game. Look at Halo 3's sales. They dropped off VERY rapidly, to lower sales rates than SMG. If SMG follows trends set by NSMB, it will easily sell 10m+, while Halo 3 shouldn't sell any more than 9m.

Low sales? It's selling faster than any home console Mario game since the SNES. You have to understand people that with Mario it's all about the legs. This very well could be the best selling 3D Mario game of all time. It's already over 2 million in only 3 weeks without even having all the data in yet!

Really awesome game! What is so great about it is not the controls or the graphics or any other thing... It's just because it's incredibly fun! The levels are perfectly done and I really couldn't stop playing... It would be like "just on emore star and then i'll quit" but It would go on and on... I had to rate it 9 (but I would have given it 9.5 if given the chance) I didn't give it a 10 because the game is on the easy side (tough some levels are really tricky) and after playing Ratchet & Clank in HD... god Mario looks a bit dull on the graphics (still best graphics on Wii yet)... I just wish we can one day see Mario in does kinds of graphics and wow... I couldn't wish anymore!

This game is AMAZING! 25 stars right now and it is BY FAR ONE BILLION times better then Sunshine and 64, and I think it's just a bit under World! (my favorite Mario currently)

I'm so happy that I got it before Christmas! I was with my Dad in the car after we drove my cousin and aunt to college, and then he said something to the effect of "You know, you've been really good recently, and I know you want that game so..." and then he pulled into the EBGames and he bought it for me! :O (even though I told him to let me buy it, he insisted. I never mentioned it all day and then suddenly he tells me that! I was so surprised)

But yeah, it's so so awesome. I've been playing it for about 8 hours straight and I need to stop for a little bit.

Definitely my favorite game of all time, I have beaten it four times now. Bought the 3D All Stars collection just for this one game alone, wasn't disappointed. The game still holds up even today, truly a masterpiece.

Nintendo says 12.59m as of september 30.

Lower than Brawl again now, but yeah, still undertracked by at least a million.

Undertracked by over a million copies. I was pretty surprised to discover this sold more than Brawl according to Nintendo. Definetely deserved.

Seems pretty heavily under tracked indeed. Nintendo has it at 12.22m as of April. Should at least be nearing 12m in real life by now. If it is at 12m, that means it finally overtook Super Mario 64 as the best selling 3D Mario game!
