The Meta user score is right in the middle of a bunch of scores and aldros.

Thats quite funny.

I re-worded Rule #2....took me months to figure out a good way of saying this. Maybe college is making me smarter

2. The larger the difference between your score and the score on metacritic; the more I expect you to explain yourself.

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.

Me in the silent realm--every single time:
"Well, this is easy. Only a couple more to go"
*walks toward shiny spirit thingy*
*steps in silver water*
"Fuck!"

I swear, on that last Silent Realm, that silver water wasn't there the first time I went under that bridge. I was just running and it magically appeared!

10/10

at first I was a little annoyed with the silent realms and the imprisoned but now I have finished the game 5 times (twice on hero mode) and I can't give it anything less than a 10.
amazing leveldesign, fantastic and memorable dungeons and bossfights,
incredible atmosphere/music/graphics....perfect motion controls, and so on.

9.8

I am still to finish it but I am into my 30th hours of game play.

Everything is amazing and so far my only complain is with regards to the sky. Cool th first few times...

rather empty and useless... too long fly from island to island with no big benefits or interesting quest to do.

[Insert "Not sure if serious" pic]

If you really played the game for only one minute, your score is worthless.

You know games have gone way too cinematic when people can give 6½ points just for trailers

8/10

+ Motion controls integrated nicely with gameplay/puzzles
+ Good story
+ Lengthy campaign
+ Upgrading parts in Zelda...finally

- Too many text prompts....no seriously, way too many. This is aside from story text.
- Game takes too long to really get good
- Cheap re-using of environments to extend gameplay
- Graphics look worse than a Wii game would normally look on a 42" LCD.
