 Eh June 28, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've heard a lot about this game and how great it is from my classmates. But...I found it kinda boring. At first it was exciting. Running around with a sword, shield, cool monsters, and fun puzzles that required logic. But after the first temple, it got very repetitive. The same old monsters showed up over and over (these goblin like things), the temples were obnoxious because they took lots of running back and forth and they weren't easy. Yeah, I like a challenge. But the temples were plain stupid. For example,I spent too much time trying to figure out how to kill these fungal like plants until I realized that I had to throw bombs at them. After all this, I found the fighting system to be annoying. While swinging the wii remote is fun and all, it sometimes doesn't register with your wii and you end up making mistakes because you're not coordinating right. Also, it should be a little more realistic. Although reality would make the game too difficult, I found many things stupid. An example is your jump attack. When Link does a jump attack he jumps into the air and hangs around there for five seconds. Lastly, the music can melt your ear drums. While the music is helpful in the beginning and adds a lot to the gameplay it repeats over and over like a broken record player. Midna's giggles are very annoying and they sound more like someone's having sex than someone letting out a gasp of surprise...br /Do yourself a favor. Don't buy this game and don't waste hours trying to figure out how to move a block of stone.
 Satisfaction.... FINALLY! *spoilers* June 15, 2008

I've had my Wii for about a month now and I've played three games previously but none measure up to Twilight Princess. This game is addicting although it is slightly different from the two other Zelda games I've played which are Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. It does have a few things I don't like which are:br /Now you cannot call Epona wherever you happen to be, you have to look for Whistle Grass. This wouldn't be so bad if Hyrule Field wasn't so massive compared to its size in OoT. br /Now when you catch a fairy in a bottle you don't keep it until you use it, you keep it until you exit whatever temple/area you are in it only refills eight hearts instead of all them as in OoT. Not that you even need them, at least not for the bosses because they are too f*n easy to kill which is the third thing I don't like. If you die you're not paying attention to what you are doing and getting too close too many times.br /One other thing that kinda gets me annoyed is that they have locations from OoT but they're not in the same place as they were before. Like the Temple of Time. Now access to it is from the Sacred Grove which is similar to the Lost Woods in that it has Skull Kids and you must follow the music, as well as the Skull Kids lantern light to find the right path. The Skull Kid now attacks you and you fight him twice. The first time is as a wolf which makes it a bit of a challenge but it's still not too awfully difficult. The second time is a lot easier as you are back in human form and shoot him with arrows.br /Lastly, Midna takes Navi's place as far as informing you about the next task you need to do but she doesn't give you hints about how to kill certain enemies. I'm one who likes to know what the enemy I'm confronted with is called which Midna doesn't tell you.br /But even with all these things I like the game. Midna is a bit annoying because of her attitude but I still don't hate her. There are a lot of new enemies as well as some old ones. You still must hunt down special items such as the Fused Shadows and Mirror Shards. There are also Golden Insects which I'm not sure what you get as a reward for but I think it's a bigger wallet. But I haven't gotten them and still have managed to make significant progress in the game. I have all the Fused Shadows and am working toward the final Mirror Shard but like I said, they were easy as 123 to obtain.br /I still don't understand why they changed the location in which Link supposedly grew up but oh well. I still consider the $50 I paid for this game money well spent which I can't say for Spyro.br /
Lots of nostalgic elements June 2, 2008

[Note: Except for about 30 minutes of Legend on my sister's Game Boy a couple years ago, I have not played Zelda in about 20 years. I only played the first 2 on the NES.]br /I just got the game 2 days ago but I'm having a lot of fun. It took some time getting used to how to play it since I got it when I got my Wii and was new to everything. I also felt a little bleh about some of the opening stuff but Once I got into the game and got the handle of how to do things I started having a blast. There are also many nostalgic moments from the original Zelda. br /Without spoiling too much, getting the first sword and then the boomerang were "Oooooh I remember these" moments. Then there's certain things you do a certain way, just like you did in the original The Legend of Zelda that are fun. There are also familiar locations and some familiar faces. Well, not the faces since it's much more advanced graphics, but "I remember that monster!" moments. I'm loving the game not just for the gameplay (a mixture of fighting/shooting and action-puzzles of the jumping, running, timing type) but also for the memories.
The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess June 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you had to sum up Twilight Princess in one word it would be Epic in fact so epic it will take a whoping 70 hours to complete or for those experts possibly 60 maybe 50 hours.In my eyes this is the best Zelda game since the original back in 1985.The reason being is the same feeling of being in a vast land much in the same way in the first Zelda , and to put correctly that is exactly right it is extremely vast , the graphics are phenominal , the controls are superb and for once Link is back to his old teenage warrior looking self, with the nunchuck and the wii controller gives it a hightend factor of fun , use the nunchuck and the wii conroller for your weapons and items makes this Zelda unique, you get friends along the way to help you you get a horse and you get to become a wolf wich i have to say is pretty damn cool.But just because you have an easier platform of controls don't make the mistake of thinking its going to make the game any easier it's not.At first you don't even get a sword until a little later.Another gripe i would have is that it was always a privaligde in most the Zelda games to have bombs , not this game instead your forced to use exploding insects other then that this is an awsome game for the Wii and should be a must on everyones list if they have one of these systems buy it you will be glad you did.
 Boring with nothing to do May 31, 2008

Not really sure what to say about this game... it's one of the most boring games I have ever played in my life, with no clear sense of direction or what you're supposed to do. You start up the game, and you walk around, and there's absolutely no indication of what you should do. You talk to a few people, you get on a horse, and then you just go around and explore things. Not much to explore, either. They give you some vague task like "close up the ranch", with absolutely no indication of how to do that. After about 2 hours of walking around and accomplishing absolutely nothing, I looked up some online hints for this game, and I could see why I couldn't figure anything out. It's because there's no LOGIC associated with any of the tasks in this game. You would never be able to figure out these things on your own, without somebody guiding you through them. [...]. If you have a TREMENDOUS amount of time on your hands and like reading online hint booklets, maybe this game is for you. Instead, I would recommend saving your money and purchasing an outstanding adventure game like Zack Wiki instead.
