Picked it up today... I'm about 25 stars in. The graphics are great, the physics system is a helluva lot of fun, and it does feel a lot like a "spiritual successor" to Mario 64. That being said it lacks some of what Mario 64 had. It seems a lot easier. It seems like it holds your hand and delivers you to each and every star. Whenever you start a level you pretty much have to go for whatever star is next on the list... The paths are all changed so that is the only star you can really find most of the time. It lacks the fun of exploration that Mario 64 had.
