its no SM64, but its still a fun game.

Yeah, personally I think it is a nice evolution of SM64, but given that SM64 was so revolutionary it is hard to beat it. I liked how it wasn't the same lava world, ice world, etc. crap that the 3d platforming genre had gotten bogged down in.

personally I thought sunshine was every bit as good as SM64, if not better, but that's my opinion. I do realize that sunshine is a bit shorter, but I like big worlds/environments

it was a blast to play and a LOT harder to find all shines than it was to find all stars in sm64. I just wish there was more varied environments (desert, snow, etc.)

I loved SMsunshine! It is one of my favorite games for the Gamecube. I finished it complete with all 120 shines. Some of the levels are very chanllenging! Highly recommended! Only complaint is it was a bit on the short side if you didn't go for the 120 shines.

The challenges with the classic mario on the walls in the background were worth it alone...

the game was fun for a while, then I began to hate it...

I donno... I jus thought it was so bad. I cant even bring myself to finishing it...

the only good parts were the platform levels, the really hard ones.

that's jus me tho...

I forgot I had this game. I played it for a week, then somthing else came out and I forgot I had it. Thanks to this thread, I got something good to play until Mega Man Collection come out in a week.

yeah I loved it. The best were the homages to the old school Mario games-the music, the images and the platforming.....

All I know is that the Mario for the Revolution better kick some serious ass. I want something revolutionary. I want them to revitalize the genre. I don't want another collect-a-thon.

The waterpack is a neat new idea, which made it seem quite different from the 64 predecessor. I enjoyed it though, with only a few things that frustrated me. Some of the music kicked ass.

Collecting the blue coins in all the levels is what I found annoying. I haven't played it in a while, but I'm still missing 2 from the level with the village with giant trees and pollen.

Mario Sunshine, Like Mario 64 before it, totally sucked. There has not been a good, new mario Platformer since Yoshi island.

Very cool platform game . . . the water pack adds quite a bit to the play. The graphics are beautiful. Quite a bit of challenge.

It was missing a spark . . . but it was an underrated game. Bypassed by GTA3 and more adult games??? Jak and Daxter (1st one) had the same problem.

I personally do not care for it, but my kid loves it. Therefore I am forced to play it. At least he can play it too, and he really enjoys it.

I liked the game a great deal. A worthy addition to the mario library, however, every once in a while the camera in this game WOULD NOT DO WHAT I WANTED IT TO DO. FUCK 3D MARIO'S CAMERA. It sucked super hard in Mario 64 and it comes very close to sucking just as much in Sunshine...

To semi-quote Mel Gibson: "gimme back my 2d!"

I've only played this game briefly, but it seems like it will be much more difficult to get all 120 shines than it was to get all 120 stars (i don't use guides)...

the levels without a water pack were so much fun I wish they would make a game with about 150 of those levels.

I would pay 50 for it, and play that game to death

The only camera problem I had with it was on that one level in the amusement park (the one where you climb the back of a ferris wheel or something). I swear I spent more time fighting the camera than playing the level.

YEAH! That level came this close *holds thumb and finger a half inch apart* to destroying that game for me...

I've been considering buying this but it just doesn't look real great to me. Does it have any variety to the levels like Mario 64 did? Decent music or is it all tropical themed shit? I just don't dig the whole tropical thingy.
