I can definitely understand the need to start from the beginning. It's how I am with most things, but most Legend of Zelda games don't really connect to each other (there are a few exceptions) and if they do it's very, very loose. If you're interested I definitely say check it out. Borrow a Wii from someone. That's what I'm doing.Caramel Frappe said:
Skyward Sword will require it. I went ahead and pre-ordered an edition of the game that comes with a gold Wiimote+ (has a built-in Motion Plus). I needed a new Wiimote anyway, as I've had mine for five or six years now and they are kind of struggling. It was a cheaper option than buying the game and a new Wiimote separately.Furioso said:
Eh, people already generally think low of Nintendo on this site. I'm sure we'll hear the same old arguments when Skyward Sword does come out. I'll be too busy having fun with the game to care.DarkRyter said:

I wouldnt doubt a rating on a Legend of Zelda game....GI just has a broken ass rating system and dont let the asshole behind the counter of Rapestop tell you any other way...also...for other game reviews...either watch a video on youtube/demo/or ZP!
So? if it earns it (and it sounds like it does from that review) then whats the problem? a ten out of ten inst the same thing as perfect.
I honestly hope you mean technical evolution and progressCaramel Frappe said:
because if you're looking on how the game's storyline and universe evolved, then you're fucked
Dear gods, that's what I was afraid of. Everyone else on the Wii caught the clue years ago, but Nintendo is still pushing that stupid crap? I love Zelda. I've always loved Zelda (except for MM and those crappy Oracles games by Capcom), but I want to play Zelda, not flail around like an epileptic every time I want to swing the damn sword.Matthew94 said:
I made the mistake of buying TP on the Wii instead of the Gamecube and it was 4 years before I beat it, because of that stupid mechanic. Maybe I'll just give this one a pass, after all.
Edit: Nope. I definitely will be letting this one pass, since I don't have a Plus wiimote.
Frankly, I don't really care how well it ranks. I've lost interest in the franchise (with the sole exception of the in-progress "Hyrule Total War" mod) and I just don't like the art design of Skyward Sword. If I get interested in it in any regard, I'll just watch someone's playthrough on Youtube until my curiosity is slaked.
Indeed. They gave some Cooking Mama game for the Wii a 4. This guy really thinks that their reviews are that unbalanced? They also gave Magicka a 6, which I agree with. Reviews are meant to help you make a refined choice of whether or not you should buy a game. However, they are not law that states "This game is bad. You will not like it." This may only sometimes be the case, but it does not mean that you should take every review literally.OutofMind634 said:
OT: I've never played a Zelda game. I'll let that sink in. Anyway, I might buy it to dust off my poor Wii, which is just sitting in the family room, or if I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket. I do know some of the Zelda lore, so it's not like I would be missing a whole lot of information if S-ward was my first one.
I actually agree with you on that. Some of the games they give a 10 to I just don't understand..Lt. Vinciti said:

Yet they had the gall to say that it was filled with innovative gameplay that sets the bar high for future games.
Really?
Ugh. I hate GI's reviews...
I'm less concerned about GI's review, and more interested in Edge's review, which was also a 10/10. To my understanding, Edge is pretty harsh with their reviews.
Plus, this game sets up the story for the rest of the series, and appears to have a much bigger emphasis on characterization. Plus, it's obvious the game will have a lot of "Player Punch" moments. That's always a good thing, gets you more invested into the story when you feel hurt by what happens to the characters.

Link saves princess from Ganon. There's a sword who's also a chick or something. You fight bosses at the end of dungeons using weapons acquired from said dungeon. Sigh...
Zelda is cool and all and the art direction looks nice for a Wii game, but great cthulhu I am sick and tired of the Zelda formula. Don't get me wrong I loved Majora's Mask, Link to the Past and Phantom Hourglass, but it just starts to lose its appeal over the years.
Give me a game where I'm Linebeck or Ganon or ANYONE ELSE and we'll talk.

I preordered this back in September. This and Arkham City were the only game releases this fall that I cared about. Zelda is my favorite game franchises. I am excited, and I will be excited no matter what reviews say.
Nintendo nailed 1:1 sword fighting before another developer nailed 1:1 lightsaber fighting?

It's not needed for most wii games. But stuff like this game, Wii Sports Resort and a few other games do need it. You will need it for skyward sword, but you can easily find a bundle with the game and a motionplus for only about £10 over than just the game. When motion plus is used well, it is so good. The new zelda, you have to put precision into your sword swings, waggling wont get you anywhere.Furioso said:
