The Legend of Zelda: TP - 7/10

The Greatest game for wii is actually Not That Great!
Gameplay:
The Controls are as wii feared. Very Bad.
The Wiimote could have been used better in the game. Eg. Holding B down and pulling wiimote back in archery motion with the Bow, Actually swinging the wiimote and Link follows, & utallising the nunchuk aswell.

Graphics:
Almost The only Good thing in the game, Though not that good. They become pixelated in some spots of the game.

Music:
The music in the game was Good but becane repeditive. To stop getting a headache while versing Twili I had to mute the tv.

Story:
The Story was Quite good but ruined by bad graphics, music & controls. The Story was challenging in some parts but too easy in others.

Overall:
The story is the best part of the game but for Zelda fans getting this as their only game they will be dissapointed.

The reason for the controls being not "interactive" enough are as follows.

1. The game is actually a port of the Gamecube version which, obviously, does not have motion controls.

2. Because the game was a Wii launch title it was assumed that people would not yet be entirely used to the Wii and it's new way of playing. Therefore the controls were simplified in order to make the game accessible to people not yet used to the motion-sensing gaming.

Didn't you find that the Wiimote allowed you to assume a more natural-feeling possition whilst playing?

Finally someone that hasnt given Zelda a 10/10!!!

I agree. To a few bit.

The controls are simple because really; if you spend 30hrs to finish the game, do you want do be waving your arms all over the place? I dont.

I don't have a 360. I think X-boxes suck.
Correct me if i'm wrong but OoT was the best zelda game of all time.
And the arrow firing thing i suggested would be great! Anyone who opposes is fat and lazy, if anyone opposes they will be assassinated.



Everything about TP was perfect. I do oppose and I will wait for you to come assassinate me. (*yeh right*)

Umm, if you were refering to Hivltg3 with that remark in rebutal towards him thinkin the whole arrow firing thing is cruddy, you better think again. Myself and Hivltg3 do archery, and it would be to lengthy of a process to actually pretend to pull back on the string and release (after aiming)

Having to pull back before firing an arrow is not practical, by the time u let loose the enemy will have gotten away. Controls should not be made harder. Love the controls as they are.

I was actually looking forward to pulling back the bow string and swinging the sword and seeing link follow. Heard it was going to be taken out of the game, and then heard it would be kept in. SO u can imagine my surprise when i found that neither were in the final game. This said still love the game.

Music:
The music in the game was Good but becane repeditive. To stop getting a headache while versing Twili I had to mute the tv.


I actually love the music in this game, whether it be the Hyrule field theme, the nighttime theme music, or the Twili music. Trust me, I've heard a lot worse (music that actually makes you want to take to your stereo system with a sledgehammer just to shut it off.)

Story:
The Story was Quite good but ruined by bad graphics, music & controls. The Story was challenging in some parts but too easy in others.


See points made in previous post. The storyline is great, darkest in a Zelda game yet. I actually think it is enhanced by the graphics. Study the subtle expressions on the characters faces and movements and you'll know what I mean.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I'm not going to bash you for giving Zelda 7/10. However, I would like to pick on a few points.

The Controls are as wii feared. Very Bad.
The Wiimote could have been used better in the game. Eg. Holding B down and pulling wiimote back in archery motion with the Bow, Actually swinging the wiimote and Link follows, & utallising the nunchuk aswell.


In a future Zelda title designed from the ground up for the Wii, I think we will see much more innovation in regards to using the controls in the game. But what we are given to work with does work, and does feel comfortable. And like said, while I appreciate your interesting idea for the bow and arrow control, it would be horrible. How it works now is just fine.

Graphics:
Almost The only Good thing in the game, Though not that good. They become pixelated in some spots of the game.


Going back to our good friend Mr. Gamecube. Things aren't pixelated, rather textures are displayed at a lower resolution for compression issues for play on the Gamecube. If the graphics took advantage of the Wii, this may not have been an issue. But I know that I overlook these things, because they are not bothersome at all and the graphics are the best in any Zelda title released.

Your contradicting yourself: "Graphics:Almost The only Good thing in the game " and "The Story was Quite good but ruined by bad graphics"
wtf?

also id choose the wii controls over the GC controls...
and my favorite music was the twili battle music, its eeriness helped set the atmosphere and made the twili seem more quirky and alien to the world of hyrule since it was such foreign music.
