The main deal with the camera for me is that it doesn't seem to wanna get close enough to let you see what you're doing. From the distance they provide, even jumping on a Goomba sometimes feels like a risk.
I think the controls killed me more than any of the enemies. They're not as precise as those of Mario 64, and I found myself having to do the waddle of shame cause I couldn't slowly walk along a narrow ledge. Great game overall but it (the first one) made things a little uncomfortable with it's camera and controls.

The absolute highest point in the series
I am a huge Mario fanboy. I love all the main games, and consider them the highest of their class. But Galaxy and it's sequel are the absolute best of the best in this series. There is nothing that feels out of place (well, except Fluzzard), and it is just pure fun. While ordinary folks will finish this in a few days, this is a game that tortures perfectionists and koreans. The galaxies are all wonderfully designed, and keep that Mario flame alive. The music is...the music is... I am sorry, because the music is so indescribably awesome, i'm afraid i cannot say anything without dishonoring it. Buy it is all i can say.
But then again, nothing is perfect. Nothing can ever reach Jesus level, and this is no exception. While gravity is executed very well, the camera sometimes fails us, and we end up with buckets full of vomit by the end of the day. And when i say these games torture completionists, they TORTURE THEM. The comet challenges range from challenging, to MURDEROUS, and the green stars from 2 are also a pain in the ass. And on that note, the green stars kind of felt like they were lazily put in the game to extend its length (but hell, that did not stop me from getting them all). And the perfect run is so difficult, bet your sweet ass that you will cry manly tears of joy if you finish it. IF IS A VERY KEY WORD. And sometimes, i get tired of the constant references to older(but still awesome)Mario games.
But buy it anyways. And after you are done, get 2. And after that, pat yourself in the back for playing some of the best games ever made. Then after that, go back to fragging newbs at deathmatch in COD:Modern Warfare 9 or something.
