 Disappointing entry in the franchise April 12, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This game has gotten so many rave reviews that I wonder if I played a different version where all the fun and Zelda spirit were left out. I'm a long-time fan of the Zelda games, and eagerly anticipated playing this latest entry. I was very disappointed. From the very beginning and continuing throughout the game, everything felt formulaic and empty, with no real sense of urgency or importance to your missions.
It's been a few months since I played Twilight Princess, and I'm sitting here trying to remember the good and bad parts of it. Sadly, I can hardly remember any of it - it's just not memorable like the better installments in the series. There are fun bits in it, certainly, but overall the adventure is dull and unengaging. Recommended for rental only.
 Great Fun, Quite a Challenge April 8, 2008

I am the son of Gregory. I got the game shortly after purchasing my Wii, which we waited in line for (gooood times). I had never played a Zelda game before, and I always thought it was nerdy. I soon realized that Zelda is the Vice President, as Mario is the President, of the Government of Nintendo Games. Wow, I know, but it's true. I am an expirienced video gamer, and I got some pretty sweet skills, haha. I was up for a challenge, and I got what I wanted. It is a pretty hard challenge, and I love it! BEWARE: Do not use your water bombs when you get them, save them to break the underwater boulder! P.S. The graphics will amaze you!!
If you liked Ocarina Of Time, buy this game! April 6, 2008

There's not a lot that I can tell you that you haven't already read somewhere before. Twilight Princess is fun and very well thought out.
I am a relative late-comer to Zelda games. My first was Ocarina Of Time. I'm hooked on 3-D. There is depth of reality you just don't get in 2-D. This is a first-class 3-D game.
We first bought this game in the GameCube version bacause we didn't yet have a Wii. Loved that version and played it for numerous hours.
When we got the Wii, I wanted to try the game with the controller that you Swing like a Sword! What could be cooler than that?
Nothing!!! It's the greatest feeling of accomplishment when you cut down those horrible creatures who are trying to Kill you. Vicious little beasties!
Confession time. I need a guide. Can't play without one. I go as far as possible, then need help. This game is complex, with many side games and quests. You don't have to do everything to succeed, but you increase your carrying capacity of items, like arrows, if you search out the side games.Plus you become more comfortable with the surroundings and equipment.
You've probably read that you are a wolf during parts of the game. It is enjoyable because you can really get even with the bag guys when you can bite them!
I've always enjoyed adventure games more than gorey ones. Though there are places in this game that put your heart rate up, you play a lot in the defense mode. So, you feel you are not the one Causing harm. In between battling the Bosses and trying to Not Get Killed, you can go fishing and bug-hunting.
Once you gain confidence, you go to the areas that were scary the first few times through. You can take these guys!
Twilight Princess is an addictive game and you will want to play it. Every day. Of course, that is true of all good games, I think.
Try this one and see if you don't agree.

Wow...so let me start by letting you know that I am your average almost 40 'soccer mom' and my favorite game series is Fatal Frame. (I also really like to watch my hubby play Final Fantasy X.)
Got the Wii and rented Zelda knowing I would hate it, but thought the kids would like it...I ended up running to Walmart and plunking down the crazy $50 for this game. I loved the graphics, the story, and the easy play. Wait...let me explain that...I am very easily discouraged from games that are too hard or frustrating. (Haunting Ground kind of kicked my butt) Zelda is not too hard without being too easy. Yay!
When hubby is playing Final Fantasy he is bombarded with my screaming "TREASURE!!!" and used to joke that someone could make millions off me if they made a game dedicated to just finding treasure....and Zelda is chalk full of 'em!! Blades of grass...chop it for treasure! Rocks? Pick 'em up for treasure! Trees? Yup...roll into them for treasure!! I am in heaven....EXCEPT, my stinking wallet will only hold a certain amount of $$. DRAT! Also, the ending is really lacking especially if you are a FFX fan.
Bottom line, I am recouping from a broken elbo and not very good at playing games, but I did ok on this one and only had to have my teen beat two bosses. (ok, and the walkthrough helped at times :-) )
