An amazing game when compared to anything but previous entries in the series.
User Rating: 8.5 | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess WII
Twilight Princess is a very good game, a great game, but as far as Zelda games go its a disapointment. It follows the same formula thats been in place since A Link to the Past and even the original game but where it deviates the game gets worse rather than better. The entire wolf part of the game doesnt feel right and is somewhat annoying. Its not that its badly done but its not a good feel for a Zelda game and not close to as much fun as when you play as Link. This is the only real problem with the game but its a big one due to how common it is to be forced to turn into the wolf. The sword play is well done though not as good as in Wind Waker. The use of wiimote and nunchaku as sword and shield works though it would have been nice to have more direct control the gestures actually are responsive and easy to pull off. The horseback combat and movement is very well done and the game environment is quite massive which makes using the horse a necessity (especially early on). The world is massive and well detailed, the textures and such on a technical level may be GameCube quality but thats to be expected and its more the artistic aspect that gets the graphics their high score. The temples could be more plentiful but there are certainly more here than in The Wind Waker and they are all unique enough to allow the lower quantity to be somewhat excused. Puzzles are intuitive as ever and the game is lengthy enough to be satisfying. The story is predictable but it has enough twists to distinguish it form the similar games in the series.
Overall Twilight Princess is a very good game even if its not one of the best Zelda games.
