Game Vs. Game! This week: SA1 Vs. SA2

[daemoth]

So are Super Mario Sunshine, and the Galaxy games not Mario games either?
Well, i can hardly speak for them as i didnt play them, but i saw some playthrough and speedrun, but indeed, they seem to feel less Mario than the others. Although, Galaxy make it a lot more linear if i remember correctly.
It introduced it's own power ups, which were the bees knees, and going into the same world presented different challenges and puzzles.
The world didnt change enough. Most of the time, you had to go through the same level and with just a puzzle or a mini-boss appearing.

Also, the 2d games always has sold better.
