Chime In: Sunshine vs. Galaxy

Last week, I had a ‘coming out’ in one of the daily 4cr staff email threads…

“i got 120 stars in galaxy yesterday. man, what an amazing game. luigi is awesome.

i think galaxy is a serious contender for Greatest Game Ever. but i have a confession to make: i actually enjoyed Sunshine a little more.”

June immediately met me with a cry of “HERESY”, but a considerable amount of sympathy was shown overall. What surprised me, however, was that one other person, Nick, actually agreed with me. He had the following to say about the much-maligned Sunshine:

“With Sunshine I had… a feeling. Everytime I played that game I was overcome with feelings of exploration and relaxation. Mario was on vacation and so was I.”

I agree completely. Galaxy is technically a far better game, and I love it somethin’ fierce, but when all is said and done, I feel closer to Sunshine. (And I still say Piantas are okay.)

What about you? Think I’m crazy? Agree?? Chime in.
