 Fun, but frustrating and a bit disappointing. November 1, 2008
I'm an old school Nintendo fan. The Legend of Zelda for NES came out when I was like 13, and I must have finished it a dozen times or more. I've also played every Zelda game since (except for the gameboy ones), and I've always loved them.
I love Twilight Princess too. It's a great game. It's probably got the best story of any of the Zelda games... or at least the way the story is presented is the best. Unfortunately, there's a lot not to like about it. First of all, there isn't much to do. There are only 2 side quests that I can think of (collecting bugs and poes), and doing them isn't really the height of fun. Also, I hated every second of being stuck as a wolf. It was okay when I could switch back and forth, but way too much of the beginning of the game forces you to be the wolf, and the game is extremely limited when that happens. Also, the targeting system isn't so good. It's inconsistent at best, and downright broken at worst. This was also kind of a problem with Ocarina of Time, but it's more noticeable here for some reason.
This is a huge game world. At completion, I had clocked in at 72 hours of play, and there were things I still hadn't done. I really explored the hell out of this game, though, so if you're a fast run and gun type of player, you can probably beat it in 40 or so. The thing is, for all that exploring, I didn't find much. If I was lucky, I found a hidden cavern with rupees or possibly a heart piece, but mostly it's just empty space with a few scattered enemies. The dungeons were really well made, with interesting puzzles, but most of the time, the special items you get from the dungeons will never be used once you've completed them.. and that's kind of a waste.
So... I guess that my review is all over the place, but so is the gameplay in Twilight Princess. One minute you'll be swearing that it's the best game ever, and the next minute you'll be bored stiff and ready to get somewhere interesting.
I say it's worth it for the well told and tight story (a first for a Zelda game). If you can look past the shortcomings, you'll have a lot of fun with it.
 Disappointing October 30, 2008

I got this game as I got a new Wii and needed a fun game to go with it. I have to admit, this was extremely disappointing. It's probably me more than the game; it seems I don't have much time these days to deal with space creatures turning me in to a dog and making me wander around a maze. I was absolutely pissed when I realized that I paid $50 for this. It just seemed incredibly juvenile and a waste of my time. I will be selling this bad boy on ebay quick-style.
I used to love the original Zelda from the 8-bit Nintendo days when I was a kid, and I was hoping this would bring back the nostalgia. Not really.

 Best Zelda game Ever October 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Buy this Game. really fun. i like that it is better than any other zelda game, because the prior ones were amazing. i own for both the wii and the gamecube. gamecube is easier to maneuver but once u get the hang of the wii you might disagree, i love the graphics and taht it actually takes a while to beat, usually with games i can beat in a matter of days, this one took me a long time. my only ocmplaint is that it has all the bonus stuff, such as magic armor and crap like that. i beat the last boss really easily without that stuff and i guess u have that kind of stuff in every zelda game. great fun is found in this game, prepare to be addicted
The game that hooked me up into games again October 13, 2008
To start I want to give you a little backstory on my gaming. To be honest, I had been away from games since I stopped using my PSOne back in the day. Historically I had an ATARI 2600, a NES, a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64 and Playstation... and by the time I graduated I had just stopped using my Nintendo 64 and my Playstation; that was, definitely, a while ago.
After that I just did some occasional gaming with some of my mates in my computer, one LAN party every 3 months or something, but I wasn't really addicted. Unfortunately I also lack the time to dedicate to games 24/7 as one would like.
I had played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask back in the day of the Nintendo 64, and had absolutely loved them.
A few months ago I decided to buy a Wii while I was on a trip with some of my mates overseas. I bought my Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl then because it was all I could afford at the moment, (and by the way, do I love those two) but then I decided to buy The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, to get back to more serious gaming.
This game is absolutely gorgeous, aesthetically, the maps are huge, and you have a lot to explore, you feel the vastness of the world (and would be seriously bored if you didn't have access to Epona most of the time).
It is difficult enough to keep you thinking most of the time. I honestly have been too busy working on my research project to be playing too much, and thus I haven't finished it, however, being in the part of the game where I am gives me authority to write a review about it.
I really enjoy the game, the music is amazing, though it could be better if it weren't synthesized. The story is intricate and interesting, it has enough twists, and you really get to "know" the characters. You even end up loving Midna.
There are only two things I don't like about the game that much, and hence my 4-star rating.
One is the lack of a musical instrument in the game, I really loved how the ocarina was integrated in the N64 versions, and how the Wind Waker worked in its game... I just feel it's kind of lacking.
The other reason for my 4-star rating is that the game feels way too linear, there aren't many side-quests, and thus you feel like you're reading a book more than playing a game, at times.
All in all this is a wonderful title, and you should definitely add it to your library.
