ANOTHER long boaring rambling review! Yay!
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I already typed this review and it took me an hour and 45 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, the internet kicked me off and now I have to start over.
Grrr...
Okay, this is a good game. Thats all there is to it. New items, better graphics, and a good story make it the best Zelda game ever. But, you already know that if you read any of the 10,000 reviews. What makes my review so different? I'll tell you: absolutly nothing. This is just more reading material for those people who bought the game and want to learn everything about it while they wait for it to come in the mail. But, if your like me, you'll skip this review because it is to long. So why am I writing a long review if I hate it so much? Because I can. Hypocritical? Mabe. Waste of time? Definatly. But if just one person finds this review helpful, then it will all be worth it. *tear* Well, lets get started!
Here is what I will cover:
PART I: Graphics
PART II: Gameplay
PART III: Items
PART IV: Mini-games
PART V: What I miss from old games
PART VI: Odds and ends
I: GRAPHICS
Amazing. Thank God they went back to old school realistic rather then the crappy, cel-shaded nightmare that was the wind waker. The dungons and enemys look great. Clothes and hair look wet when you come out of water. Sheletons are covered in dirt. Gorons have tiny cracks (hehehe!) in their backs. Way cool. Lots of enemys get redone too. Stalchildren and Re-deads are actual human skelitons. However, not all changes are good. Octorocks are scary fish-frog like things. Still, everything looks better than it did in Wind Waker.
II: GAMEPLAY
Fun. This game has great controls. Swing the wii-mote to swing your sword. Point-and-click to shoot arrows. Vetren zelda players might get confused in the beggining, since now the former 'sword button' is the action button. In my first couple battles, I fount myself rolling around because I forgot that Im supposed to swing the wii-mote.still, once you get used to it, its a blast.
III: ITEMS
Items have always been a major staple in the Zelda series. I cant say much without giving it away, but there is a lot of cool new toys for Link to play with.
IV: MINIGAMES
Theres a LOT of mini-games here. Heres a small list with a couple:
- Goat herding (seriously)
- Fishing
- Snowboarding
- RollGoal
- Sumo Wrestling
- Hide-and-seek (you play with cats)
This isnt all of them. They're lots of them hidden throughout the game.
V: WHAT I MISS FROM OLD GAMES
1. Picking up a dead enemys weapon. God, that was satisfying.
2. Fire and Ice arrows.
3. The Magic meter. This means no spin attack, no fire and ice, no lens of truth, nothing. (However, the screenshot above where link fights a knight, he has a magic meter. Mabe you can get one with a cheat code.)
4. Musical items. No songs to learn. D,:
VI: ODDS AND ENDS
-In this game, you dont get a fairy for a companion, but an imp named minda.
-You can transform into a wolf and Howl, kill enemys, see ghosts, dig, and talk to animals. Also runs faster than link, but not as fast as Epona
-You can use a Zora tunic to basicly turn into a Zora. You can breath underwater and swim faster.
-In this game, you need FIVE pieces of heart instead of four. But, they are easier to find.
BOTTOM LINE:
Best Zelda Ever!
Music: 9/10--Old songs get new tune
Gameplay: 10/10--Tons of fun
Replay Value: 10/10--More Minigames and side quests than ever
Value: 7/10--If your patient, you can wait till this is re- released as a 'greatest hit' for $20
Overall: 9.7/10-BUY IT!
