9/10.

Pros:

Controls are great, the sword control especially was what I've wanted since the Wii was revealed
Engaging story
Excellent area design, with the third area being the most enjoyable to progress through
Beautiful art style
Basic enemies are generally tougher to beat than before
Some great boss battles
Ghirahim is a brilliantly frustrating and crazy dick, which is what you want
Upgradeable items was a good move
Items aren't just used in the temple you find them in, which was a flaw in TP

Cons:

A little too streamlined
Flying around the fairly empty sky makes me miss riding around Hyrule Field
Silent Realms far too reminiscent of the annoying Tears of Light TP stages

Silent Realm i felt was better-executed than the tears of light, utilizing the better parts of Phantom Hourglass' stealth and creating a sense of urgency. Tears of Light was just kind of there, no real threat, no real anything, exploration in a world where interaction is really closed off, not a good idea at all. Here the constant threat keeps you, if not enjoying it, then at least alert.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
