Put in my first hour last night. Very fun. I'm going to be addicted in a hurry like I was with Super Paper Mario.

Not to cross-pollinate threads here, but I wish the Simpson's Game had the fluid motion and camera work of Galaxy. Having to constantly reset the camera in that game turns it from a solid B+ game into a C.

Anyone who hasn't bought it yet, buy it & get a $25 GC at Best Buy. It's not advertised but force the customer service rep to ring up SKU # 6867688 after they ring up the game.

They are price matching the sick deal by Toys R Us unofficially.

Sweeeet. Would this require a customer service rep with some sort of competence, or should they all understand the situation? I'm bad at these things.

I saw the thread on fatwallet, they will call over a manager usually and he'll have to approve it first. Def a YMMV deal.

You can do the same at circuit city, might need to talk to a manager though. If you really wanted to, you could probably get several this way and ebay the games/gift cards.

I got the last copy they had at Toys R us, unfortunatley I won't have any time to play it for atleast a week.

I'm not crazy about how the gravity works on planets, like how you're running upside down on the bottom of planets and stuff. I realize it's kinda a huge part of the game, but it's just a little disorienting and nausea-inducing sometimes. meh, I suppose if the worlds were just like Mario 64 the game would lose a ton.

I don't really get the point of those little star thingys you collect. I know you can shoot enemies with them and so far you've needed to feed them to certain things, but at one point the game recommend I save a few? how do do that?

Really fun game so far though. Some of the best graphics I've seen on the wii too imo.

This is nice and all, but only really nice if they match the Buy 2 get 1 free that starts on the, 18th I think.

Thus getting a total of 4 games for 125 plus tax.
