LoZ: Twilight Princess *Spoilers*

PanMan · 11-20-2006, 08:52 AM

Haven't played it too much, but the fishing really PO'ed me. I bet i was fishing for a solid hour (between playing zelda and watching football on and off). I caught one fish, but it didn't do the job (trying to avoid spoilers). Then after a bunch longer i caught another one and it worked. After that though it really picked up for me. Getting some of the weapons and learning the moves. the the slingshot feels really good aiming and firing. i wonder what a great FPS will feel like (looks like red steel is getting bad reviews). All in all it's looking great. I've only ever played OOT just recently (almost done it, just a couple more dungeons), but zelda games are pretty good.

The music is good at points, but the music and sound effects in the Twilight are mind-numbingly bad.

Bad technically or artistically?

Both ways. It really isn't even music. It's just a jumble of awful synth noises.

Just got around to playing as link wolf, and i must say that i don't like it very much. i'd rather just play as ordinary link. Otherwise everything is good. had a bit of trouble figuring out somewhat simple puzzles too. The story is good though

It's actually surprising how robust the story seems to be in this Zelda. There's a cutscene after most events, unlike the other games.

Anyways, as more and more time goes into this game, I see more things I love and more I wish was better. I'm really not too hot on the sword swinging. It's not the most responsive thing in the world. I actually felt more into the game pressing a button than swinging the wiimote. In one particular part it actually caused a good deal of annoyance...

Spoiler:

You need pretty precise timing at that part, and the controls just don't offer the precision you need to excute what you want to do easily. It's a good thing most of the time you just wave your wiimote around randomly to hit something.

I love zelda and I can't wait to get my hands on the new one. I don't have a wii but will be getting 1 next year but I plan to get the gamecube version.

BTW, did u guys hear what gamespot gave zelda tp? a 8.8. Since then all the zelda fans on other forums were like mad about it but it's a game. All good gaems have at least 1 or 2 scores with bad scores. No game is perfect.
