It's definitely not the kind of game you play through once and forget. It has far more replayability than any Zelda or Mario game. I've spent twenty hours with it (only just beat it on easy) and feel like I haven't even started to touch upon some of the gameplay. There is HEAPS of depth here.

This game is a far better value proposition than Wind Waker.

Absolutely this. I remember reading a reviewer say they give each game around ten hours before writing a review (on Eurogamer). In that time there's no way you could have experienced even half of what this game has to offer.

Also, because it's SO different to any game before it in terms of how it controls, it takes ten hours to just get accustomed to doing simple things. Sure, it's a challenge at the start, and things like getting the game to recognise what you're drawing is a real challenge to begin with and very frustrating, but once you figure it out, it starts to feel great. The complaints about the controls are just reviewers who haven't had enough time to get any good at the game.

I really kinda want w101 but I just can't bring myself to get it which is unusual as I usually get games day one and I was waiting for it all year. I think it's timing more than anything as Im trying to be responsible so Im saving my cash for upcoming stuff that I know I gotta get (plus, tbh, I haven't seen it n stock in too many places...I did see it today but its the first time since shops here seemed to sell the few copies they had when the game was released)...
I think even though it reviewed well, I was also expecting stellar reviews. I'll get the damn game sooner or later but for now it's on the 'maybe when I got nuffin' else to do' list and the 'Maybe if i see it being flogged off cheap' list...sorry

Every game that has legs, plus any game that Ninty will find worthy of being actively relaunched.
