Didn't this happen with Super Mario Galaxy as well? Wasn't it ahead of Ocarina of Time for a while?

Oh crackle!

It's official.
 
But there is still about 70 reviews more to get to the consensus of the first Mario Galaxy. So it could still change.

I was just going to post that. 
 
It will probably change. But so would OoTs if it didn't primarily include recent reviews.
 
Snappedy-snap.

Oh damn! If it stays above Ocarina of Time, that will be amazing. Hey, Ocarina of Time is still ahead on Metacritic, being the only game to have 99 while Mario Galaxy 2 is at 98.

#13 Posted by Meowayne (6084 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

OoT is unreachable on Metacritic. 22 Reviews, most of which are 100s.

Well, GameSpy ruined it. :D

#16 Posted by CoolDrMoney (1977 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

Fuck, maybe this isn't the second coming. Off the bandwagon, off the bandwagon!

#17 Posted by Xanth93 (484 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

I kind of figured it wouldn't stay above Ocarina of Time.

#18 Posted by Meowayne (6084 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

Its certainly nearly impossible. But lets face it: If gamerankings and metacritics would have been around at the time of its release, it would look slightly different.

Here come the shit reviews to knock it down back behind OoT. :P

#21 Posted by Meowayne (6084 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

It has overtaken OoT again. :>

#22 Posted by JJOR64 (18115 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago
