Boring is an understatement. :/
It saddens me that it's getting 9-10 reviews, while something like NSMB2 is getting the shaft.

Wow, really? I'm about 88 hours in and don't see the finish line, but I am still enjoying the hell out of it. I couldn't tell you the last time I enjoyed a Mario game for that long. If you combine the two Galaxy games, it might come close, but certainly not the NSMB games. I'm hoping that'll change with the Wii U version, which I think looks more promising.

All 88 of those hours are wasted. You could have played through almost every 2D and 3D Mario game in that amount of time, and have a much better experience. Xenoblade/FinalFantasy12 doesn't deserve the high scores it gets, just because it's one of the very few rpgs on the Wii.

I actually really enjoyed playing both xenoblade and ff XII. Only thing I can agree on is that the games are similar while ff XII was more polished.
Both can be long winded games but I loved both the battle systems and a good chunk of the content in both is optional so you can play as little or as much as you like

Someone really has a hate on for this game. I haven't played an RPG in years, so I haven't been jaded by games like FFXII, but I there is no way I will consider those 88+ hours wasted when I consider the enjoyment I've gotten out of the game thus far. I certainly would have received enjoyment from a Mario-thon as well, but in this case I was wanting a new experience, and I haven't found flaw with Xenoblade's mechanics or presentation.
Superchop:
Yeah, I can understand why people would hate the game, and personally speaking there were times that I did get a bit bored. But overall I did enjoy the game so I don't consider the time I put into it a waste.
Although playing 80+ hrs of Mario games...I couldn't do that...not one after the other at least.
The other games I listed, I do agree that they aren't exactly the best in their respective series, but seeing as how I enjoyed all the ones before, I'd give the new ones a shot. If not for the sale prices I got them for new, I wouldn't have bought them...
