Just finished Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on gamecube, and I'm really bored atm so...
Reading the online reviews everyone seems to think this game is near-perfect, but I don't agree. Don't get me wrong, it's an okay game, but in this day and age it doesn't give much of a wow factor. The story starts off interesting, but never really gets better. The gameplay is almost the same as the older zeldas, which IMO is not a good thing. You get some interesting weapons, but you'll rarely need them much after leaving the dungeon you find them in. (which btw are noticeably lengthy, but suffer from repetition) Fighting is neither very fun nor intuitive. Graphically, the game is pretty damn nice, but there is a noticeable lack of color variety. All your old hyrule friends have been given upgraded models, hyrule field is huge but empty and unvaried, and the towns/castle are small and fairly bleh. (in design) The bosses are the only real treat, they're relatively cool if not a little too easy. You'll basically be playing just to get from boss to boss, with everything else seemingly just filler. I got the point where I didn't even care to finish, but I rented the game so I decided what the hell.
Overall, TP is alright. if you're one of those old-school zelda fans afraid they'll change the formula and bastardize your green buddy, then worry not. (My first zelda was LoP) If you're a guy like me whose played any of the great action/puzzle/rpg titles in the past year, you're probably not gonna be blown away.
7/10
