Zelda: Twilight Princess Thoughts...

[jonathan_phang]

Well... no-one seems to have started a thread like this just yet (Well not on this forum anyway) so I thought that i would. I guess quite a few of you would have bought this to go with your Wiis, so lets hear what you think.

Are the graphics that bad? Do you like the new (old?) stlye, hows the 'feel'? How does it compare to others? Just let it all out!!!

Personally, I havent played too much, just done the forest temple. Getting more used to the control system now, and love being able to do the swirling blade attack so easily. Managed to get an RGB scart (at asda of all places!) yesterday and has made a difference over composite, but still a bit rough round the edges though (literally). Still holding out for component cables though...

But, either way, I still love this game - it just feels like it should. The movement and the fighting are quite fun to do and thats the main thing for me. Still waiting for the story to develop so cant really comment on that (so no spoilers please ).

Yes, i know its not exactly the greatest evolution, but thats not to say that this isnt a good game... its very much like Ocarina of time, and you cant really call that a bad thing. Maybe if they get around to releasing a proper Wii version, developed solely for it, say a sequel, then maybe it could be better, but as it stands i'll take OoT v1.5!!!

I wouldnt say that i am disapointed with it, yes could have been more, but i think that its going to be fantastic anyway! Let me know your thoughts

I'm not a huge fan of Zelda in all honesty. It's got a bit too many cut scenes that I can't seem to skip and although the control system is pretty cool it's not amazing fun.

Perhaps it's cause I've never really been into the others but I'm not too fussed and may well sell it

Thats not really a surprise to be honest - As I said, half the fun of this Zelda game is basically being able to relive the other games - and hence the great experiences that you had - in a newer and more shiny way.

I can fully understand if a first time zelda player, or someone who hasnt got into the franchise much thinks "Hmmm... This Zelda isnt much cop"

But each to their own I guess!

I'm really enjoying most of it - my biggest gripe with it is when you go into wolf mode...its just so dull in comparison to when your human..imho that really lets the game down (unless maybe the wolf character gets more developed later in the game? i'm on the 3rd dungeon atm)

Still all the bits where you are link are great fun

Im loving it!

Only about 2-3 hours in though. I have just got my sword and shield and met the light being.

Yeah - same thoughts on the whole wolf transformation game mechanic - I just seemed to think that it was a bit...well...random. Saying that, the whole using your senses kind of fun, if a bit simple.

I'm nearly through the game, on the last temple before the final boss and have enjoyed much of the game. I would agree though that the wold sections at the start i found to be irritating and on the whole quite dull. Some of the new items you receive later on in the game are borderline useless outside of the dungeon you get it in. It isnt as good as ocarina of time was not by a long shot, but it is still an excellent game.

PS The only bit i though was great as a wolf was running through castle town and having people scream and run off.

I think the game is fantastic, not quite completed it yet. I'd agree that some of the items you get are pretty useless, one I can think of in particular but it makes the boss fight pretty cool.

The wolf is pretty much useless later on, aside from a few secret area's and fighting poes.
