Filtered Thoughts:
I still have not played Super Mario Galaxy 2, and as long as I am taking to get through my video game backlog, it could be a while before I do play it.
If you have not seen anything about Super Mario Galaxy 2, the trailer below shows off a good bit of the variety of game-play you should expect from the game:
As for the data, the game-play hours reported for Super Mario Galaxy 2 over the last year are pretty good, though I think it's safe to say that SMG2's reported hours will not get close to Super Mario Galaxy's current number of reported hours, which is more than 50 million "Total Hours".
Again, while I have not played SMG2, I think the average hours reported "Per person" are about what I would expect it to take to beat the game, though I am not sure.
