    Well while they're both probably worth it, SMG2 is the better game.
    Do you have any Donkey Kong Country nostalgia? Because that would help in your enjoyment of it?

    SMG2 is only 5 months old, it came out in July. Its al about supply and demand anyway, AAA rated games always hold their value for a longer period because they are in constant demand, especially Mario.

    Cant believe your saying it's ok for game shops to rip people off!!!! Bet u work there lol!

    Loads of games could be counted as aaa as u put it but naturally prices drop so is it ok for me to play a game for 6 months and then advertise on adverts saying a bargain at 2 euro less than release day rrp??

    Where did I ever say its ok for Shops to rip people off?????

    Shops will sell games for whatever people are willing to pay for them, thats the only point I'm making. Equally you can put a game on adverts for any price you want but nobody has to buy it, its the same with the shops, if you think its a rip off don't pay it.

    Remember the shops don't owe you cheap games.

    It really just more of the same with even more imagination. TBH it really didn't need to be changed since the first game was pretty much perfect so it's not a bad thing at all. SMG2 is basically SMG1 but better.

    I've played DKCR. It's very good, better than the snes games, but also extremely difficult. Never played SMG2, only the first one. If you prefer NSMB Wii to SMG then you'll probably be better off with DKCR.

    What game would you recommend for a 15 year old girl? Got a wii for Christmas and I have sports, sports resorts and wii fit and was looking to get Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Donkey Kong. Which has the most enjoyment and last out of it? Like what do you do in each? I don't want it to be sort of a one time game where once you finish like one part or game it's over.
    Reading this, Mario Galaxy is better but what do you do in both and what would you recommend?
    Also, can you use them for both single and 2 players?
    Thanks and sorry to come in on the thread.

    For a 15 year old girl I recommend new super Mario bros very good straight forward and the game plays great!

    Between donkey and galaxy I say galaxy but donkey is still a great game IMO

    No need to apologise bout coming into the conversation as your more than welcome and if we can help u at all we will
