TP is a great game, but the score is absolutely fair. Of course I do not agree with every single thing said, as is the case with most reviews, but an 8.8 is what I would have given it at most. It is actually the only Zelda title that I grew bored of. I actually stopped playing it in the Sky Temple and did not complete the game until about a year later.

This coming from a HUGE Zelda fan since the original on the NES.

SO, was I right, or was I RIGHT???

You were right about the score but wrong about everything else. At the time of this thread's creation anyways.

Wii page background on Gamespot is The Conduit. The site has numerous The Conduit advertisements.

^^^At the time I posted this thread, The Conduit was nowhere to be found on GS except for 1 link to the "Conduit Video".

I swear to God, the site was probably fitted with TC advertisements 20 minutes after I posted this thread originally.

Anyways, this was the last straw to break the camel's back for me when it comes to reviews. I was done with GS a long time ago, but this just reinforces what I thought months ago. Even IGN drops the ball sometimes (Sonic and the Black Knight), but they are the only people I go to for anything Nintendo related.

GoNintendo has great news, better than any other.

Of course GoNintendo would seem great. As is the case with a Playstation, Xbox, etc... site majority of the news, reviews, etc... are favorable.

A review is just one person's opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. It is always best to just play the game yourself and judge that way. No use in people ever getting worked up over a review.

*Not saying you are worked up, it is just that I have already seen many get like this lately.*

Amen! I too would much rather trust the opinions of friend's here than someone at IGN and/or Gamespot.

A quick lesson to those paying attention.

Just because a game review site doesn't give a game you like a great rating, doesn't mean it's a bad website

I absolutely loved Sacred 2, and they, in my opinion, butchered that score to all hell. I actually fault IGN more on this one but its off topic.

JRPG's suffer from this too for the most part (Eurogamer says hi).

All in all , in a post modern world where we can basically cherry pick the information that suits our opinion best, sometimes , no matter how much I hate to read it, there are negatives to almost every game out there. And it would do you well to pay attention to the meta scores.

Euphoria nailed it, did anyone consider for even a second that this isn't a good game?

Out of the hundreds of Wii reviews from Gamespot, you have what, 15ish there?

Sorry, but they are biased against the Wii. This game is quite good. Generic? No more than any other FPS out there on the market that has aliens, and guns.

Best fps controls ever in the history of videogames, and they focus on the fact that this doesn't have a revolutionary plot line, and somewhat straight foreward level design. (No more straight forward than Call of Duty: World at War, btw, which they raved about.)

And Gobias, have you considered for a second that many of us have been playing the game, and know what we're talking about?
