+sw.DISZ Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is another great game from the Zelda franchise, although it falls short of all the hype that I had seen before I played it. The controls were very nice, and I don't think I would have enjoyed this game as much if I didn't have the Wii version. The use of the Wiimote is a very nice touch and should be kept for any upcoming Zelda games for the Wii. Plot - The plot, in my opinion, is one of the best in the series. The cut scenes were very enjoyable and I probably wouldn't have found the story as good as it was without those interpretations. I still favor the MM storyline over this one for it's uniqueness, though. Overall, this is still one of the best in the series as far as story. - 8.5 Graphics/Sound - Graphics were nice for my expectations, although with my experience for recent Nintendo games I didn't expect much. I think they could have worked on some choppiness with the earlier levels, and the textures could've been better, but it was a nice step up from the recent Vector based styles in Zelda. The sound was very nice, as usual. I found that I didn't enjoy this soundtrack compared to MM or OoT, as both those games had better soundtracks for suspense. - 8.0 Game play - Nice and smooth. The use of swords and arrows with the Wiimote was a very nice touch and made the game much more enjoyable. The ability to turn into a wolf was a cool addition and made the game very creative. I found the over world free roam the coolest of the series, as the world is much larger. My only complaints are the slight lag when using the Wiimote, and that I found less creative ingenuity as far as new features. - 8.5 Difficulty - Not going to take much time with this, but I found the difficulty in this one varying. The game itself was shorter than most, in my opinion, which gave it a smaller difficulty than say, Wind Waker or LTTP. TP just didn't have that great difficulty I've come to expect from most Zelda games. - 7.5 Replay Value - As with any Zelda game, I'm bound to play this through again to get all the items to collect and actually beat the game 100%, but if I had already done that, I probably would not pull this off my shelf very often. Although with the game being shorter than most in the franchise, I feel as though it would be an enjoyable game to play through one afternoon when I'm bored. - 8.0 Overall - 8.0 from me. Don't like the way I review? Too bad. [: Want me to review a specific game? PM me. [: - +sw.Regret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The title scared me for a second, because I thought this would be a review about how you greatly regretted getting this game. Thankfully I was wrong. I agree, this game wasn't that challenging. However, when comparing this too Majora's Mask, that's tough since the gameplay kind of hurt the awesome story.

Nnoitra Jiruga Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I also agree that the difficulty wasn't great,although I did get stuck in the water temple for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk-Chan Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 You review, IMO is 100% true and I agree with you. However being a LoZ fan since Ocarina of Time ( Sorry I was born but only so many years ago ), I could overlook the flaws, as they were not vast or really did they take away from the overall quality of the game. I would have gave it an 8.5/10. But I would agree with anything from 8.0-9.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinobiDark72 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Nice review. I think I had a different experience when playing it. I borrowed the Gamecube version from My friend, and later in the year I got a wii with the wii version. I found the flipped map challenging, but overall, I loved this game. I would like You to review a game, so I'll PM it to You in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingTheEverlight Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Fantastic game, I have it on GameCube. Next to Tales of Symphonia, this is easily the best game on the GC. The difficulty was in fact easy (though, the first major boss was a challenge to fight). The water temple was probably the best planned dungeon in the game. It's kinda funny, I bought the stratagy guide after I beat the game 100%, just to see if indeed I beat it 100%, and I did, lol. $20 wasted, lol.
