Hmmmm... they didn't give it score. They probably don't want their offices burnt to the ground by angry fanboys. Personally... I don't blame them.

Technically, still a 10.  The only thing they could mark down is graphics for not being a technical beauty but still retaining the artistic beauty.  And even then it would probably still score higher than TP lol.

It doesn't need a score because it was already reviewed and GS doesn't need another ****storm anyway.

Have you any clue as to how GS reviews stuff?  Have you any clue as to the VC flaws?  First off, it scored an 8 in sound because this version of Ocarina, isn't the REAL one, the gold one, with all the excellent chant musical selections, using the bastardized grey cartridge's game info to release on the VC is a crime.  Second, Gameplay and graphics have to take a hit, sure they're the same now as they were years ago when it got straight 10s.  But our standards have changed

8.9 doesn't mean Ocarina doesn't have the BEST EFFING BOSSES OF ALL EFFING TIME.

Well, the review is up now, 8.9 I guess GS does still have balls. Giving it 8.9 because of poor graphics, lack of extra saving VC add-on, and lack of what IGN calls a "gimmicky" feature (stone of agony rumble). Way to go Jeff.

WTH is wrong w/ gamespot's bias against zelda games? First TP, now this...8.9..pshh!

I suppose they are right, I mean, the game is ugly...cant even compare it to Gears of War

It's not an FPS, can't compare it to Gears of War

It doesnt have voice acting, can't compare it to Gears of War

I think that wasn't as important to Jeff as the age of the music.  It's MIDI, so it gets docked off, just like how because it's an old N64 game it gets graphics points docked off.

If anyone was accepting anything higher but 8.9, in my humble, they were being delusional.

And with that being said, seeing how virtual console is, more or less, all about porting over original titles (which, I am in favor of), instead of putting any kind of modifications in there (i.e. Game Boy Advance, Xbox Live Arcade), unless it "original" title, personally, I do not think there should be any title that is re-release should score above 8.5-8.9 range.

Let's all keep in mind that Jeff was the one to give the orginal a 10, and probably had to go through a lot of crap to convince his co-workers to do so.  So, before we all grab the pitchforks and torches...think about the fact that GS gave a game that's nearly a decade old an 8.9.

     For being priceless, this game gets a 10 for value and tilt, the two most important stats at GS.  For being old with only slightly updated graphics it gets docked in the other categories.  That's why FFVII got 9.5 on the PS and 8.0 on the computer, for not updating the game.  So -1.5 for the greatest PS game after one year and -1.1 for the greatest N64 game after 8 years truly shows what caliber this game held over the industry.  Jeff approves of this title, and I do too.

Note:  I completely understand that Chrono Cross is the Greatest PS game on this site, but that was for "having the most heart."  I am going off of what the majority of the world says, and because FFVII has been released on a different format while Chrono Cross has not.

It's not worth to buy if u already played it or have the gamecube version stick with that one because it has automatic save, rumble feature, and extra dungeons to explore on master quest (which on the wii version doesn't have)

I don't get VC reviews.  It never made sense for there to be reviews of games that have already been released years ago and already reviewed.  No matter what, the original impressions and scores don't change, and that's what everyone should take from this.  Meh, I guess these writers on these site gotta find something to do with their time.

Greg Kasavin gave several reasons for reviewing VC games. They cost REAL money to buy, so its being sold in a new sense, often resulting in a review. Also, many of these titles came out before Gamespot came into existance, so many of them were never reviewed here. It also places them in perspective of todays titles. Reviews are never a bad thing, I mean they review Live Arcade games and PSN games. It all makes sense.

For everyone complaining about the 8.9: It's a great score for a port of a 9 year old game. It's only natural that graphics and sound would knock the score down, it's certainly not up to today's standards. I wouldn't pay it too much attention, Gamespot always reviews their games harshly, thinking that they are being "critical". I find much more indepth AND fair reviews on Gametrailers.com, though I suppose GS and IGN make some valid arguments some of the time.
