Skyward Sword

[Panthers128]

Anyone else get this early? I'm 12 hours into the game on the third dungeon and am having a blast. Some of the enemies are strange and I end up swinging the wii remote like a mad man but others are interesting and are fun to learn how to defeat.

For those without a wii, if you have a gaming PC that's up to date, there is a wii emulator that reportedly can run the game well:

If I had a complaint I wish there was more story to the game but alas it's a game and not a book so what can one expect.

That excuse is old hat. Plenty of games have great stories, and it's not just new games.

Nintendo really doesn't buy into the idea of challenging their fans with different content, though. Hence Nintendo fans buying the same games from them every two years for the last few decades.

I would tend to agree with this. The LoZ series really has gone downhill ever since OoT. With that said, I'm excited to fire up my wife's Wii in the not to distant future and see if Skyward Sword is any better....

You could say that about so many games though including all sports and FPS games. Also, having just finished Uncharted 3, I can say it's the same as 1 and 2.

SS is similar to previous Zeldas but it has a wonderful new soundtrack, different graphic style, new characters, a new adventure with new puzzles and new ideas especially with how it interfaces the wii motion plus controls.

More than I could say of a lot of sequels out there.

windwaker and twilight princess were flat-out AMAZING games. majora's mask lacked a little but it was still a damn good game. only bad game in the series: zelda 2

yeah i love spending 70% of a game sailing a shitty raft through an ocean of nothing

yeah i love spending 70% of a game sailing a pooty raft through an ocean of nothing

now why would you spend 70% of the game doing that?

[Panthers128]

I enjoyed the sailing. It was relaxing to me.

That was one of the few LoZ games I didn't finish. It was boring as hell.

because i didn't stop at the first island

[nickzz]

Even though Ocarina of time was one of the best games ever made, TLoZ has sucked ever since. Content geared toward children IMO.

just curious, what are your favorite games?

also, i'm really not one to bitch about graphics

but skyward sword barely looks better than OOT
