Spurge.... I beat Skyward Sword back in March...and since then I had time to sit and reflect on what the game did right and wrong, and how it stacked up to older Zeldas... There were things it did do right. There were moments where I was excited during combat and surprised at the subtlety of certain details. Despite the good times though, there are many reasons people did not bother to finish even half of it; my own brothers refused to play the game at all once they saw the artstyle. I give it a 6/10 for a Zelda game; it does beat the quality of many other games out there, but that is what I expect. Out of all videogame franchises on earth, there are few I hold to a higher standard then Zelda, especially when we have waited 5 years for it (supposedly it took that long to make...I doubt it.). When I was younger, I would reenact Zelda scenarios/characters with my friends at recess for pete's sake. When I bought Skyward Sword, I spent 70 dollars on the game and Wii Motion Plus; I never spent that much money on one solitary item in my entire life up to that point; it is the most expensive videogame I have purchased! Was I expecting too much, actually no. I was wary of the reviews and did not expect perfection because the formula was said to have undergone a change. However, the final product felt empty at times, which is a shame. When you know the excellence a series is capable of, seeing it fall short makes you a sad panda. |
you paid 70 for it?! no wonder you mad. im surprised it took you that long to get a motion+
