LoZ: Twilight Princess *Spoilers*

So I've got just about 4 hours put into TP today. One thing to be said for the game, it's going to be loooong. I've only just passed the first dungeon and there's supposed to be 10 full-sized dungeons, with some huge ass gaps in between.

Anyways, first impressions, obviously very positive. It's Zelda. Plain and simple. If you like Zelda games, you'll like TP. That being said, I don't think this is the "be-all end-all" that it was touted to be. Better than Majora's Mask? Of course. Better than OoT or tWW? Ehhhh...it's all about preference really. There's no one thing that's made me sit up and go "Wow! TP is so much better than the rest!". Granted, I've only been playing for 4 hours, but this just seems like Zelda again.

I'm still a bit iffy on the wolf stuff and really the whole Twilight thing all together. Not that it's bad or anything, but I just prefer playing as normal Link.

The game controls well, a lot more intuitive than I was led to believe. I was very worried after watching Alex Navarro struggle with the game on Gamespots Wii's marathon, but now I realize it was just because he sucks at games. Pointing with the Wiimote for stuff still feels a bit awkward, but I'm slowly getting better at it. Everything else is pretty fluid though. It feels good overall. Better than normal controls? Another iffy one, but it's definately not worse.

One problem I have personally is with the Wiimote speaker. That thing is awful. The sound is super tiny, and sometimes it gives off weird static noises. I really don't like that they took out all the effects for Link's weapons and made them come out of the Wiimote. It doesn't make sense, and the thing just feels kinda cheap.

So, anyone got questions about TP on Wii, or even the Wii in general? I'll try and answer whatever I can. As for the people that own it, thoughts thus far?
