Another reviewer fuelled by haterade. While some might say McShea has valid criticisms that he backs up with points from taken from the game, by some way his principal criticism is that it's still a Zelda game and largely retains the gameplay components that are the core of the series (i.e. fetch-quests etc.). The equivalent would be to criticise Call of Duty for retaining a "tired and dated" perk system or regenerative health. Poor implementation of these components could be the subject of fair criticism, but not simply their inclusion alone. McShea is basically saying fetch-quests are old news, therefore the game suffers because of their inclusion. He never really attempts to actually explain why these particular fetch-quests are poorly implemented, he simply doesn't like the idea of them. It's unprofessional journalism and it smacks of sensationalism for the sake of a few cheap website hits.
