Great game so far, I'm up to the boss of the 4th dungeon. Good stuff. Takes Wind Waker and fixed all its problems. It's a bit too easy but that's ok. |

people aren't even talking about this on actual video game forums, which is just a total crime. it's leagues better than twilight princess, not least because it actually feels New. by the way, i'm not a dude to be blown away by graffixxx, but sometimes, just sometimes, the game tricks me into thinking it looks almost as good as wind waker. |

here are the only two pics online i could find that show off how hott the graphics can get: |

there's no way the camera in those shots is doing the graphics justice, either. I'm sure when you're actually looking at the screen at an image that's not artificially enlarged and unfocused, the game looks even better. Not that graphics even matter if the gameplay is there. I haven't played this, but by all accounts, it (the gameplay) seems to be (there). I don't play handhelds (mainly because I don't own any :D) but this is a game I would most likely buy if I did. |

twilight princess is a piece of homo. minish cap felt like a staple zelda snorefest too. last great zelda game was wind waker. everything before that was amazing, especially the CRIMINALLY underrated GBC games by Capcom. this one looks fun, but i'm a bit wary since the recent zelda games have been paint by numbers shit. |

Might get this, I have about 5 Zelda games already (Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, Link to the past). Next month, Official Nintendo Magazine have a Zelda special coming out, so I'm looking forward to that. |

looking forward to playing this when I get back from work. I sure have a DS and lots of online games (*cough* R4-card *cough*). :) |

oracle of ages and seasons are some of my favourite zelda games! i dont know how underrated/overrated they are, but they definitely up there for the top down zelda games. i didn't mind twilight princess, but they coulda made it heaps better if it wasnt such an ocarina of time ripoff and if the gameplay was a tad more exciting. phantom hourglass looks alright, but everything looks too big and zoomed in. hm |

What's this? Can you elaborate a little so I can investigate. |
||||||||

I'm looking forward to this, but I'm even more excited to kick Link's ass as Solid Snake or hopefully Little Mac (Punch Out!) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I'm so happy that Nintendo is sticking it to Macintosh and Sony with good old fashion gameplay and charm over fancy graphics and not much else (Halo). Nintendo definitely deserves the success they are achieving through the DS and Wii. |

RPG's are just as repetitive as any FPS on the market ;P "Get the red Key to open the door" and "bring the elixir to the guy who unlocks the door" are basically the same thing. The GBA zeldas are awesome but I like them just as much as Unreal or Quake ... |

bogus argument, you can have both great graphics and gameplay (Halo). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah you are right Staz. Halo is a great game, no question. Having only played Halo 3 for three hours or so though, to me it didn't seem like it got the treatment that a flagship franchise of a system should get. I'm pretty let down by the very short campaign and I'm not real big on getting my ass handed to me by 13 year olds online, so I can't say that it's the end all be all of shooters. Now Bioshock on the other hand sounds and looks great and I can't wait to check it out. From what I can tell, that should have been the game that had hordes of folks lining up outside Wal-Mart and Best Buy to purchase it. |

Halo 1 was cool, I'm playing halo2 for the first time and am deeply disappointed, so far I'm bored to tears, maybe I gotta increase the difficulty ... The only games that have really moved me in the past little while are Doom 3 (was kind of late trying it out I know...) and UNreal Championship (which I bought from EB games for 2 dollars and 99 cents.) I was thinking of buying a ps2 cause the games are super cheap now, but until the price of systems and games drop I'm not interested in the new concoles because IMO they are 500 chunks of shit. Wii is cheaper, but I'm not really into Suduko and Memory match games so ... |

Halo's a weird example. That's a game that doesn't look anywhere near as good as the best games on the market, all jaggy and bland... it gets by entirely on the strength of its great gameplay, and little else. Millions of people are going to be playing Halo for hours every day for the next, oh, 4 or 5 years, and not because of its graphics. You need both graphics and gameplay anyway. There was nothing comparable to Shadow of the Colossus until the power was available to pull it off. Mario Galaxy's gameplay and presentation is a product of graphical and processing power. If you believe the N-bots, it couldn't even have been done a Gamecube. Now You're Playing with Power. |

Style is very important too it plays a huge part on SMG appeal. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Style is always important, and very subjective. What's charming to one person is cloying to another... what is objective is that Mario Galaxy's style is a product of the processing power allowing those wonderful sprawling environments to be rendered and the advanced physics to be calculated. Mario Galaxy is a technical powerhouse. |

i'd like to try out the wireless battle mode if anyone is interested. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont get it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i just played battle mode against some girl and completely destroyed her. i imagine it'd be fun against someone who knows what they're doing. anyone interested? also, now that i can go online with my ds i'd be interested in visiting animal crossing towns and playing the mario karts. |

just picked up PH yesterday morning. i'm digging the stylus control if i can set the DS down on a table or something. feels like i'm right back in The Wind Waker universe, and i love The Wind Waker universe. I just got the sword! f*ck yeah! Twilight Princess was great, if only a bit to easy. maybe it seemed a little shorter than it should have been, but those are my only complaints. thought The Minish Cap was absolutely perfect so big love there too |
||||||||

|

i'm not going to lie to you guys: this is the easiest zelda ever. but that doesn't stop it from being fun. i played against a couple random dudes in battle mode last night and they destroyed me. i'll post my friend code late tonight so we can get some games goin'. |
||||||||

that cannon mini game is pretty fun for what it is. worth the bomb bag, anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never completed a Zelda game without some sort of walk-through, so an easy game is right up my street! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will get this one, no hesitation about it — the only question is when. |
||||||||

so far my favourite bit has been shouting SALVAGE ARM into the ds to lower the price of said (shouted?) salvage arm. the fact that they make you shout it for so long had me giggling like a manchild. the fishing mini game is good fun as well. i haven't come across any other game that takes as much advantage of the ds's capabilities as the phantom hourglass does, and it's especially remarkable that it can present all these new and refreshing gameplay elements as part of a cohesive whole. it may not be the best zelda but there's no question that this is the best game available on the ds, which is saying a lot. i doubt any other ds game will ever top this. it's simply huge. |
||||||||

I'll get it for sure when it comes out here. |

i really like halo's art direction, so i absolutely loved halo 3's graphics. the lighting is probably the best i've seen in any game out so far, with the HDR stuff being especially refreshing. the graphics seemed fantastically polished, even if they didn't have the highest poly count (and some atrocious looking human models, especially those faces!). |

finally a) got my DS back b) figured out why i couldnt get it running on my supercard fucking awesome game! i'm only at the part where you get linebeck out of the temple but i love it i'd been playing that tingle's freshly picked rosy rupeeland game but this is way better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome. i'm really surprised and impressed by how HUGE this game is for being on a handheld. for some reason i thought the entire game would take place in one dungeon. the classic zelda gameplay is solid but it's really the characters, world and atmosphere that make this game a mini-masterpiece in my eyes. i rarely find myself skipping through dialogue. linebeck has some pretty funny moments. |

when i first heard "hey!" i was like HOLY CRAP ITS NAVI and then in my head i was like NAVI NAVI OK |

"zelda ii: the adventure of link" is still the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
none of the new zelda games are challenging (in a good way, anyway..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i think the last truly challenging one was a link to the past. i haven't played majora's mask, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man that puzzle where you have to transfer the crest is brilliant! hard to talk about with out spoilers though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i had come across that type of puzzle before in trace memory and hotel dusk, so it wasn't all that fresh for me, but it's still really awesome. the temple of the ocean king gets really intense once you make it to the midway point. the room puzzles, the rooms themselves and the immortal enemies are making it a really tough going. let's just say you're going to really want to find more time sand via treasure maps. so far i've died in phantom hourglass more than any other recent zelda thanks to the main dungeon, but that could probably be blamed on how impatient i am sometimes. right now i just unlocked the southeastern sea but i want to see how much futher i can go into the main dungeon first. |
