  I would argue it's the best single player game of this whole new generation.  On www.gamerankings.com (this site takes averages of alot of websites, mags reviews) Zelda: Tp is #2 overall right behind the recently released God of War 2.  Even above the godly gears of war (which I love to death).  

  It's an engrossing expierence that follows a proven formula but adds elements that are new to an already great franchise.  You know when playing Zelda you are going to get, Z-targetting, dugenons, clever puzzles, item upgrades, and heart pieces.  The formula is not hard to figure out but the game always seem to be new somehow.  Given it takes alot from Oot that is not a bad thing.

  Give it a shot before judging because it is one hell of a game.

it's one of my favourites games. the only gripe I have with it is that it was too short, I completed it 100% in less than 7 hours.

I agree. I mean really, when Zelda got an 8.8, that's all lemmings and cows cared about, not knowing that this game is actaully really good. O well, their loss.

its impossible to beat it in 7 hours, 100%. It took me close to 50 hours to get all the heart pieces.

god of wars score doesnt count yet, it still hasnt been reviewed by everybody, so that score will go down. itll still be AAA. wether i like it or not. but yeah zelda tp is known as a really good game people are aware of it. even logical cows and lemmings know. this site and 6 others didnt agree that it was AAA. but the mass majority of major reviews did and we all know zelda is AAA no need for this thread just sayin.

I personally was never crazy about 3D zeldas, I usually stuck with the handheld ones. Maybe when I get a Wii I'll revisit OOT and play a lil TP. I don't see me buying a Wii until I get and HDTV though, which looks like a long while. :(

Lol....that game is undoubtedly the longest adventure game I've ever played in my life. Took me 70 hours. Though a lot of time was spend running around Hyrule Field and such.. And I agree with the thread starter. Twilight Princess is great. My only criticism is it being too easy .

Agreed some of the controlling can get annoying especially when your assigning wich weapon you want to use on the D-pad.

7 hours? 100% completion? There is no way I can believe that. To the topic: I completely agree. I really wouldn't be surprised if Jeff admitted that he hadn't actually played it. The storyline is nothing like that of OoT. The only similarities I can gather are the different areas and some bits of the soundtrack.

It was a great game imo but I do think it deserved the great score of 8.8/10 (people seem to forget the underlined part).

I don't think it deserved any higher. After playing FFXII I also agree with GS' score on the game...

TP is a great game but it's not as good as OOT in my books. Nowhere near to be honest.

Zelda its a good game u cant rely on one website when the rest said different.same goes for crackdown which got a AA average i think not sure.when u are at school they tell u to look for tons of resources not jus on.but her at SW only counts the GS score.that is why we like laughing at sheeps,cows,lemmings and hermits when they get owned when a game flops.but if ur really interested on buying a game please dont just go to GS check other sites to see the ups and downs and base on that make ur decision

Even if you knew exactly what you were doing, you couldn't even beat the game in that time. I've played it through four or five times now, going through everything at optimal speed (trust me, I'd have to be utilizing glitches to do it any faster), and It takes a little more than 10 hours. This is without perfection. There's literally no way you can say you've done this.

There is no way to beat it 100% in seven hours, even if you used the Master Sword glitch or something like that. >_>

I'm finding 8.8 was about right. The positives - working out all of the little puzzles to progress, artistically beautiful. The negatives - I don't like the control system very much, graphics are pretty rough compared to some games on my 360.

80% of the characters you couldn't talk to, though. It kinda felt lifeless. :(

On another note - Why all the complaints about its' graphics? Sure, some of the texturing is rough - but some of the environments were incredibly artistic and beautiful, such as Lake Hylia, the Sacred Grove, Zora's Domain and the Gerudo Desert.

It's also a GC game that had most of it's graphics finished like 2 years ago. It's not like TP is on the PS3 or anything.

It's a much worse game then some give credit to. OOT, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker absolutely crush TP. I was expecting another redefinition of the entire genre, like Zelda games usually do, and then I got an 8.8 Great. Quite disappointing.

You got all 60 Poes, all the bugs, enought money to get the magic armour and got every heart piece, bomb bag, bottle and did every dungeon in 7 hours?

I doubt thats possible with the amount of time some things take even if you know what your doing.

lol... your title is kind of funny considering almost every media outlet gave TP a 9.5 or 10, I'd consider that a lot of credit.  TP is a great game I think, but it felt kind of rehashed.  OoT is still the best Zelda and best game ever made in my opinion.

I actually think it's OVERRATED. Best Zelda ever? Please. I love it and all, but ALttP and OoT are WAY better games. Plus, TP wasn't very deep. Once you beat the game, all you had to do was collect stuff. a 9.2 is the only score I can give it...

Better than some give credit to? Uh...the game got amazing reviews EVERYWHERE (except here, lol...suprise suprise), and yea, it is arguably the greatest single player game of all time. I liked it better than ocarina of time, because imo, it was better in all aspects. The game was perfect imo. Anyway tho, Im pretty sure the game got ALL the credit it deserved, and then some. Unless your talking about GS's review.

Even beating in it 7 hours is a feat unto its own, there is no way you got 100% in that amount of time.

i just got my wii last week, and bought zelda and that surgery game with it. i think zelda tp is just as brilliant designed as the previous ones. its kinda dumb to take off points just because the game has some similiarities with the last zelda games. afterall, its a "zelda" game. its just like same as saying Halo 3 sucks because it uses the same plasma gun and master chief's uniform is still green.
