Give me Excite Truck or Rayman Raving Rabbids anyday

Actually Twilight Princess was the first Zelda game I was able to get into all the other ones just bored me two tears. I don't think the game is overated at all it has strong story, lengthy amount of game time, and the best controls of any wii games. Not being a huge Zelda fan I don't think its the greatest game ever but it is definetly one of the best if not the best wii game so far.

hmm, fable is brill. but compared to zelda its really short. you can complete fable in a sitting. but zelda will take you longer.

Being a Zelda fan for many years, I think it is the best of the series next to the first one. Gotta love the controls, and to me the graphics are amazing (not a fan of Xbox, give me the great games of Nintendo anyday over violent realistic gore, etc, etc). Now I'm off to play some TP for a bit.

compodude · 05-04-2007, 10:14 PM

yeh, zelda does own fable. but fable is good. i dont like x-boxes either, thats why i got it on pc

I think it's too late to say that Gamecube graphic is good when it's already year 2007 and xbox360 has been out for 1 year and even ps3 is out.

No not at the least bit. If anything was overrated it was Gears of War, but thats off topic. Zelda was really enjoyable for the people who played previous Zelda games or just overall hard core gamers. Ive noticed they really tried to make this one stay very traditional...problem there is that there really isnt anything new....and THATS WHAT PEOPLE WANT NINTENDO!
I know this wasnt really as great as it was hyped to be.....but still best game Ive played that was released in 2006!
Oh and as for the replay value....well speak for yourself, Ive beaten it 4 times going on 5 soon!

compodude · 05-05-2007, 07:15 AM

isnt it great how nintendo can keep reviving a game seris over and over.

I just find that the Wii is a social console - games like Rayman and Monkeyball are about playing with friends where TP feels like a port of a last gen console game

compodude · 05-05-2007, 12:08 PM

well wii is a bit of everything isnt it

Well it is a port... just flipped around and different controls.

meh, gears wasnt the one that half the reviewers gave 10/10

and most of you people who even say gears if overrated dont even own the game.....

Well I've always been a big fan of the Zelda games, and I have to say that Zelda:TP does not dissapoint. I really love slashing enemies with a "sword" in my hand

. IMO not overrated at all.

WiiBad · 05-06-2007, 10:44 PM

TP definitely follows most of the old tradition and this definitely makes it appealing to someone like me. However it has many modern elements as well, it just flat out amazes me where they were able to take it.

ajvizzgamer101 · 05-06-2007, 11:03 PM

I thought in some ways it was better then Oot and other Twilight Princess was better.

i strongly agree

my reactions to the game

1st day

my zeldas here!!!!!!!! (i didnt get it for christmas i got it after and completed it b4 any one else in my school woo)
2nd day

this is a bit easy...
3rd

ive nearly completed this thing!??

5th day (i skipped 4 i know)

this games so over rated, i thought they would make it harder not this!!! aftert completing it all theres to do is complete it again but why do that?

*did any one else feel this way?*

WiiBad · 05-08-2007, 12:24 AM

It definitely is much easier on difficulty than past versions, but this is a pleasant thing on some parts. A difficulty setting would have been a nice addition as far as that goes.

LowTek · 05-08-2007, 11:32 PM

Great game, only innovative because of the controls.

Still, an excellent game. To each his own. I think WOW is overrated, yet some people would damage my defense with a +30 power orc twist.

I HATED ALL ZELDA GAMES. Especially the original on NES, but I really really like TP.
