So according to GamePro German this game is about as good as NBA 2K12 which also received the same score in the same issue? =3

If NBA has voice acting, then NBA 2k12 > Zelda.


Remember it's HD as well and probably comes with some on disc dlc that you need to pay for to unlock. So that undoubtedly made the reviewers think that it's on the same level as Zelda. XD

Really? You're comparing the score of a sports title to a Zelda game, they're completely different and cannot be compared like that.

They can otherwise "The Game of the Year" award wouldn't exist. It would only then be "game of the year for genre X" awards which I know some gaming journalist sites do preform but they all always hand out "Game of the Year" to a single game. So in order to come to that conclusion games from all genres have to be weighed against each other.

We are joking. And we want to get an article about the rage for the 'low' reviews.

Updated the OP and the thread with the new review, and changed the layout slightly...

...will likely change the layout completely and make it more uniform when more reviews come in (i.e. in order of score).

One thing- any better sources for the GamePro Germany score than the one we've got?

Could this work?

Also, a Dutch Magazine Power Unlimited's Preview for the first 7 hours:

 - Contains enemy crows that drop poisonous waste on you
- Getting to the first dungeon takes about 4 hours
- Dowsing gives you sound, vibration and visual hint
- Roughly 7 hours to reach the Earth Temple
- Lack of dull moments especially when compared to Twilight Princess

"If a Zelda game is all about experiencing beautiful moments, then Skyward Sword could become my favorite Zelda game."

"I'm a huge fan of the style and graphics of Skyward Sword. The broad view along Skyloft, where the dazzling pastels in the distance come together in oil stain-like palettes."

"In then my first steps in Faron Woods, my breath caught short in my throat. As if I entered a painting by Monet. And the music, oh god, so beautiful. And the sound effects, the crickets, the screeching birds. Hold on a minute, those aren't birds, they're the weird, new, red enemies stalking a Goron."

"The sword fights are the most amazing fights, which you ever experienced in a game. you have to pay a lot of attention to beat the crazy, new, red enemies in a cool and flexible way. You shouldn't make it possible for the enemy to anticipate your moves, as you slowly move the sword to the right, because they will be on to you. They'll cover up their right side. So you should nonchalantly leave your sword in the middle and then, cut!"

"There are a lot more things possible with your flawless registered vertical, horizontal and diagonal cutting and I will tell you all about it next month in the ultimate review of the game."

"Link also has to cross a hole by tightrope walking. And be careful, because your enemies can walk a tight rope as well. I had chuckle a bit when an enemy tried to reach me that way and I aimed with the slingshot on him. It's a kind of subtle humor that works really well in this Zelda game."

"Even if Skyward Sword would end after the first dungeon, it would've still become my Game of the Year, I've experienced so many nice things in the first seven hours. I'm at the Earth Temple in the meanwhile and it's only getting prettier, fiercer, better, more surprising and.... harder!"

Wow! The bolded sounds amazing! I haven't read much about the game because I want to be surprised when I play it, but that really sounds so good to resist temptation!

The link is just about as good as the other one, but thanks for posting anyway! I'll probably just leave it as it is FTM...

Also, the reviewer seems to be in love with this game. I expect no lower than 110%, otherwise TEH BACKLASH! It just keeps sounding better and better, and lest we forget, 93% is still an amazing score (and around the same as UC3 and Arkham City, two other amazing games).

 

@the trailer- Yes, it's awesome. And yes, it is...that character. I believe.

The Master Sword moment was more interesting for me, and the moment where you could see a giant...something in the distance in the desert.

What the Hell! Conegamer you are right! Zelda does not have voice acting! Were they not aware of this when they played the game? I guess Nintendo could eventually throw in an option feature. Just have sound effects and writing or have voice, that way we could find out if we like it or not, but for now who cares! Then they did not like the graphics compared to ...what? Gears 3? That Forza game that Yo_John loves? How about are they great graphics for the wii! Lastly no overworld map.
All of that brings them to a 93 out of 100? So there is a strange texture in the background, they cannot figure out the menu, and there are no voices. Is the game fun? Does it control well? Are the graphics so bad that you cannot do anything in the game? What about framerate. No! All those things are fine, they just did not want to give it a score like it has been getting. I see no reason for a 93. I guess we will have to hope gamepro America is not as crazy!!

*ahem*

What's this then?

It sounds like hate for hates sake. And the VA missing? Well, they tried it with Other M, and we know how that panned out...

It's been too long to introduce a voice actor now for Link. The other characters? Maybe. But it doesn't bother me, and everyone else for the past 25 years or so. And I haven't heard any issues from anyone else...

Ignore post.

(Clearly, 'a problem creating the post' means 'we created the post anyway but we won't tell you so you post again'... apologies.)

I think this is what I'm more interested, instead of scores, quotes. For example, the cons at the GamePro German are not issues for me. Sadly, we won't get more reviews, maybe untill the next 2 weeks.

Maybe. We know now that the Servant Goddesses Ghirahim was talking is maybe the Sheikah woman, whom may be called Impa/Impaz or something in the line. Also, we have the Goddesses Pearls emblems, Faron is the blue water dragon and finally, at some moment in the fire area you can spot a fire dragon, Volvagia?
