The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Good
- Good music for the majority of areas.
- Large fields and many villages to explore.
- Advanced swordplay, more fun the the simple hack and slash of other Zelda titles.
- Bosses are well drawn out, a bit challenging at times with few bosses.
- Sidequests take a lot of time to complete, making the game more fun.

The Bad
- Heart pieces and Poe souls are found too often, not very hidden.
- Objectives that have to be done in wolf form are boring at times.
- Aside from an occasional challenge with boss battles, most were very easy, not even harming some new players.
- Items become useless after passing through temple it was acquired in.
- Twilight. You were forced to go into three or four places covered in twilight. All you did was look for bugs as a wolf. Boring.

I'll start off by saying this, The...

THE BAD:

SUMMARY:
Zelda is a franchise that has captivates fans like few, if any other series can. The very title being dropped, without any screenshots or movies, is enough to steal the floor at game expos. Originally announced at E3 in 2004, was no exception; and fans were immediately interested. The game faced delay after delay however, with promises from Nintendo that it would allow them to improve on the game. News of the delays consistently upset fans, but the delays were worth it. Nintendo's promises have been entirely fulfilled. Released along side the Wii as a launch title, Twilight Princess sets a new bar in gaming. Described in one word: Perfect.

The game starts of kind of slow. You take control of Link in the village of Ordona. You'll do some horseback riding, practice with a sword a bit, do some fishing and talk to some people. But once you get out of the town, which doesn't take too long, things quickly start to roll and they...

THE GOOD:
-There are so many different things to do in this game
-The music is just amazing
-The visuals are amazing too
-This game has a very, very good story to it too.

THE BAD:
-The music around normal enemies suck
-Playing as the wolf is a little boring

SUMMARY:
--Story--
The evil Twilight lord, Zant, is spreading the Twilight zone across the land of Hyrule and of course it's up to Link to save Hyrule. Though as the game goes on, the story gets deeper and more exciting than the usual Zelda game.

--Graphics--
The Graphics are nothing short of amazing. This is the best looking Zelda game yet. The level design is amazing, the world is open and very expansive. The art style is amazing too. The graphics really make you feel like you're part of the experience.

--Sound--
I must say that the music in this game is nothing short of epic and adventurous. The boss battle music is just awesome,...

THE GOOD:
There are many good things about Twilight Princess. There is a great storyline, with new enemies and fun characters you will learn to love. The story also has some depth, a few twists, plus a few new concepts not in other Zelda games, like the twilight realm and Link's wolf form.
For a Gamecube game, it has pretty good graphics, but nothing like those of the Xbox 360 or PS3, although there are some times where it really stands out. For the most part, the beauty and style of the landscapes make up for it. The characters also have a somewhat cartoonish yet serious look to them, and do not need to look like real faces.
The music is also pretty nice, with several catchy and enjoyable songs, but no song in particular stands out too much. And at times they can be annoying and repetitive, with continuous loops that get tiring after a few hours. The music is quite good overall though, and is sure to be more of a pleasure than an annoyance.
A lot of...

THE GOOD:
- Better graphics

- Interactive gameplay via the Wii remote and nunchuk. Fun slashing, stabbing, shooting, and all that good stuff!

- Vast storyline and adventures and loads and loads of collectibles and items to collect and horde.

- Many puzzles to keep you occupied.

- Quite a number of mini-games and side missions to keep you questing and adventuring for a time to come.

THE BAD:
- No multiplayer. Then again, if there was multiplayer, how good would it really be?

- In my own experience, the puzzles were too easy. I'm not showing off me "skillz" but maybe to others they would seem harder. I personally felt they were all common sense appliable.

- The fun "interactive" attacks can get boring after hours and hours of gameplay.

- Storyline, although in-depth, predictable and usual Zelda style. Almost on the verge of being corny.

- Dungeons were repeated and boring...

Twilight Princess has been a long time coming. First announced way back in '04, fans have endured several long delays and the announcement of two separate versions before the game finally hit stores. Now that its here, Twilight Princess proves that it was worth waiting for. A brand new story, great gameplay ideas and that classic Zelda feel all combine perfectly to produce a winner experience; However, not all is well with this game. While the delay may have helped build excitement, it also helped outline the game's shortcomings and why this is not the "Best Zelda Ever" as many had hoped it would be.

The game starts out fairly slowly, but does a good job of introducing the player to various new mechanics. This is, without a doubt, the longest "introductory level" the Zelda series has seen thus far. It will take most people a good hour to get past the simple chores presented at the start of the game; In contrast, it takes about 20 minutes to leave Outset Island at the...

THE GOOD:
-Graphics are good
-Temples are satisfying
-Character design is great
-Hyrule is enormous
-gameplay is fun
-Wonderful storyline
-Tons of side-quests.

THE BAD:
-Wolf gameplay could have been better
-Bosses are too easy.
-Some of the game's textures are bad close-up.
-Some tools are not used as often
-Graphics are not as great as they could be.

SUMMARY:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the sequel to Ocarina of Time, and, in most part, it kind of shows. Many of the places, like Zora's Domain, is back. Along with Hyrule Field and many other places, they make their comeback in the game. The game play also feels the same as Ocarina of Time, and so do the temples you go into. With the game play being said, it is different with the Wii. With the Wii remote, you use it as your sword and you using the Wii remote as if your sword. Don't worry about breaking your arm off, just quick...

THE GOOD:
1. The Wiimote brings the game to a whole new level.
2. The Music is good with the game.
3. Another wonderful adventure in the world of Zelda.
4. Better graphics then ever as Zelda steps up to a next-gen console.
5.Huge world to explore in.
6. All new accuracy with the enhanced "Wiimote" controler.
7. Long dungoens, but it is a good thing too, means more game time.
8. Available for the GCN if you cant get the Wii.

THE BAD:
1. A bit of a slow beginning, but anyone can get along with it.
2. Long dungeons, however, this can be a good thing.

SUMMARY:
Of course, in a game such as this, the pros heavily outway the cons as another fantastic Zelda game comes to life.

Gameplay 10/10

The game play is amazing, as it is on the Wii, there are many new experiences, the fighting keeps you involved, or you can take a break and go fishing. The whole world is yours to explore in a...
