From what I remember last fall it was getting rave reviews from everywhere...then a few months later I look online and the response is nothing but lukewarm from many sites & people. I'm gonna buy it to see for myself now...since I have not really disliked any Zelda game I can't see how it'll be a waste of money. |
I think the discrepancy is explained by the fact that it is a joy to play, because the experience on the micro-level is so well-polished and clever, but when you really sit back and reflect on the game, the problems become fast apparent. It's easy to be hyped for a game you're currently playing moreso than games you're not, and Skyward Sword does a very good job of being very fun to play, and generally a good job of distracting you from its structural flaws.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
