Skywars Sword is the highest rated exclusive across all 3 systems! (Metacritic)

This year that is.

Skyward Sword = 93%

Uncharted 3 = 92%

Gears Of War 3=91%

Reminds me of 2006 when Twilight Princess owned every exclusive and multiplat with a 96%.

Tom McShea wasn't far off the mark imo. What I've played of it I'd give it an 8.0 at best.

I'm 10 hours in. If this game wasn't a Zelda game I'd be praising it, but as a Zelda game it falls short imo, especially in the controls department.Bigboi500

Exactly, people expect a perfect game just because it is Zelda. I bet that incompetent Tom would of given it a 9.0+ if it was a new franchise.

Well, it is a great game, McShea couldn't be more wrong, keep playing Super Mario Kart Tommy, this is a solid 9.0 game.

its an amazing game worthy of ending the wii. Its the best last bow from wii that we could ask for. Gamespots review flet like a mirror of pretty much every major sites review of ss.

I'll have to play it eventually but I hear mixed opinions. My friend loves it and he's a huge Zelda fan, some I hear hate it. Some think it controls awesome, some think the controls are mediocore. I'll just have to try it I suppose.

Funny you say that because Skyward Sword is actually very different. And a lot of franchises that take a risk by adding new things are hated on badly.

In fact a lot of recent Nintendo games have been very different. When change is introduced it is ALWAYS hated on.

Here's a few examples: Metroid: Other M, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Rising (already getting hate and it's not even out yet)

Good for SS,I guess.

Man, people over exagerate about Sheva in RE5. I'm playing RE5 right now alternating between single player and coop and Sheva is entirely competent as a partner frankly. The only think she sucks at is with dying and help status.

Nice job, just wish I can get my hands on this game. Damn you Nintendo!

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]Yep and he has my apologies. I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong...and it's still a good game, but damn Nintendo, you can do better.

Oh, then don't worry, it gets a lot better. The fire temple had me thinking the game was really dull, and I didn't like the motion controls too much either thanks to those lizard guys. Once I hit the third temple though, the game really picked up for me, and my issue with the motion stuff vanished. I don't know if I got used them or what, but it just felt way more fun from that point on.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]It's by no means "crap", but it does rely entirely too much on an archaic formula. I hope the next Zelda on Wii U fixes that because I still think the series has great potential. The game has great charm and characters, is still structured good, but it was a terrible mistake to use motion controls imo, and I usually defend motion controls.

Never had this problem. As an ai partener who follows you for an entire game I don't think I could have asked for better. Everything met my expectations.

IMO it does not deserve it, and this is coming from one of the biggest Zelda fans you will ever meet. I would give it to Uncharted 3 of those three, but my GOTY
(SO FAR) is Portal 2.

Technically, it's tied with Xenoblade :P

Yeah, I hear you, it takes a while adjusting. By the time I was done with SS I did think its usage of motion controls was very well done, but I still feel the way Retro implemented them in Metroid Prime Trilogy was superior. It's those games that convinced me motion controls can work, and they're why I want see them implemented in new games.

I beat it and played enough of the MP (tons of subway prerelease and a bit of retail). I honestly was worried after playing the first couple hours of the game, but then the game picks up so much and it has some of the best firefights, puzzles, graphics, and story of the uncharted series. Not to say it doesn't have its issues. It does, which is why I am probably going to give it a 9.0 instead of a 9.5, but it is very close and I am still deciding.

Skyward Sword, while an awesome game with some great innovation to the Zelda series, really lacks in areas. There is far too many times where I was dissapointed with the choices they made for me to give the game a 9.0. I gave it an 8.5.

The subway MP level is sooo terrible. That aside I like Uncharted 3 multiplayer. If fun, good amount of modes an content. Don't like competitive shooters but I've played a decent bit and its solid. Haven't played the SP yet though. Still have to play U1 and U2 first.

Uncharted 2 96% based on n 105 Critics.SMG based on 73 Critics and SMG2 based on 88 Critics 97%........come back when SMG get more than 100 reviews.

Wow Zelda TP was at 96%? That is crazy. Game is not AAA material. Can't say about SS since I haven't played it nor have any interest towards it after playing TP.istreakforfood

As for Zelda, I have only just started the game, but dear God, is it glorious. The characterization is spot on, the music is lovely, the artsyIe is so good, the controls take some getting used to, but come as second nature once you get the hang of them, the level design is wonderful... Right now, it feels like a fusion of Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, my two favorite 3D Zelda games. If it keeps this up, it will end up as my favorite Zelda game, by extension dethroning A Link to the Past as my all time favorite game.

If you add more reviews it could easily go up ya know . . . .

Anyway this is a silly logic. Once you surpass 50 reviews more than enough reviews have been given to be a usable metric.

LOL I mean the subway promotion, not the level. Meaning the early access through the sub selling place called subway :P. I think I prefer Uncharted 2's multiplayer to be honest, although 3 has some great additions and its a blast usually. My complaints with the game are that it feels slightly less polished then Uncharted 2 did (in SP mode anyway). There are some framerate issues here and there, some wonky AI (though not that bad), and so on. But nothing awful.

I have to finish uncharted 1 before I move on to playing U2 fully (I've played it enough to have a good grasp but I need to sit down and do it all by myself) and then U3. Opinions on it seem as mixed as Zelda.

Just don't give up on it after playing a couple hours. IMO the beginning was dissapointing, but later on it picks up and is possibly the best Uncharted experience. Oh and don't forget about the alternate control settings available through the patch, and IMO you will want the shoulder swapping enabled.
