Been playing this game since the midnight release, so 3 hours now. I can safely say that the controls are unresponsive, the graphics are bad, and the game may have done so much better if it were released on the xbox or ps and had a complete graphical overhaul. the story is okay, it's not bad. Not in the least, but it's not really good. 4/10. Then again, it's a Wii game, so it's to be expected...
This might just be the worst game of all time. Miyamoto must be going senile because he just keeps rehashing the same game over and over. I guess if you are a child this may be fun, so get it for your 5 year old nephew, but for mature gamers such as myself it is lacking. There are no guns, no blood, no swearing and no sexuality. I'll stick with a proper game like Modern Warfare 3, thanks.
Mature? Nintendo next time we want Zelda and Link too hav sex!! this makes games better! Y U no get US?
To me, a score or review is reflective of a person's experience with a game. That said, this game has been about a 5 to me. The game itself is alright, and would certainly be a 9 out of 10 for the most part. However, clunky controls and less than stellar gameplay bog what could have been an awesome entry in the Zelda series. The combat can be boiled down to: do I swing the Wiimote vertically, horizontally, or all over the place? The only real difficulty the game serves is from the unresponsiveness of the controller. Constantly having to reset the Wiimote is one of the most frustrating things on this side of the Mississippi. I've looked all over the internet for a way to stop this, but I can't. I constantly have to re-calibrate it. I've spent more time trying to fix the game than actually playing it. That said, I think this game is incredible. Wonderful visuals, a beautiful score, and some really stunning moments. I haven't finished the game, just like most of the people submitting reviews right now, but I honestly cannot give the game a higher score based on my own personal experience. I'm sure for the people out there who played this game without any controller difficulties love this. But it's not my cup of tea.
again with the controls. lol
Enough! This is beyond a joke now Nintendo. Stop feeding us crap. this is in no way deserved of a 10. Not nowadays. You might have gotten a hold of the casual maket, but smart gamers like myself, know crap when they see it. It's a shame that Super Mario 3D Land, a HANDEHELD game, got more attention from me than this garbage, and that game lasted me 2 days! ... yet here I am playing it AGAIN. Just enough.
Nintendo stop feeding us crap!
This game proves Nintendo has learned nothing and is blindly arrogant to use the same old outdated formula, with horrible story telling, ugly outdated graphics and quite frankly a worse addition to the series. People who say TP sucked are kidding themselves, THIS game is awful.
Nintendo!! We want a Zelda FPS!!
How does this have a better score than Portal 2, Dark Souls,Battlefield 3 and Assassins creed? That's complete **** Stupid game reviews it makes mad that people actually take them seriously.
We don’t take reviews seriously until Zelda scores less than these game!!
This is a fantastic game. It is by far the best Zelda game ever made. The Nintendo EAD team made some truly flawless dungeon design. The graphics are the best in the series, and the production values are much higher than previous entries. Add to that motion controls that feel like moving through butter and you have a masterpiece. However, this game must be given a 0/10. I will now proceed to explain why. You see, this game is great for a younger audience, but kind of boring for a more mature audience. This is why I recommend Skyrim to most hardcore gamers. Understand that this game is a 10/10 for younger kids between the ages of 5-8, but a 0/10 for everything above that. The graphics are great for the Wii, but terrible if you have played Xbox 360 games. In this HD generation, what Nintendo did is unacceptable. Next, the game is far too easy. This is perfectly fine for young aspiring gamers, but the more mature will find a laughable challenge here. The bottom line is: buy this for your kids and get CoD or Skyrim for yourself.
HD games rule! It makes games better for mature people!
Long, boring and more of the same for a tired out franchise. I've been playing the Zelda games for 20+ years and this game is just more of the same. Running around, hearing people call out 'hey', searching for pointless things for pointless flat characters in an overly familiar manga-lite, low-res universe. It's like this series has been locked in the basement for 20 years, unable to play with the other games and grow as a result. Where is the voice acting? Where are the dynamic characters? Where is the story? Where are the meaningful choices? This might be a fine game for those looking to take a 30+ hour trip down memory lane but NO normal kid is going to invest that amount of time in a game that is so slow and requires hours of reading trite dialogue. My son (8 years old) played the game for an entire 45 minutes before going back to his Lego games. This series needs to learn from Uncharted, Mass Effect, Gears, Fable, etc. Games have come a long way, it's a shame this series hasn't.
I want someone to read the game storie for me!
These guys are mature cool guys don’t ya think?
