A Review?

So I broke code with the title of this post, but I even surprised myself with this one. I decided to review a game, but remember, I'm not a professional game reviewer, so take it with a grain of salt.


Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – Nintendo Gamecube

Where to begin... THIS GAME IS FREAKIN' AWESOME! To date, it is the second best Zelda game, in my opinion of course, and it breaks the “Next Gen Gap” with its Gamecube version. The story it tried and true Zelda form, Hyrule is in danger, Zelda is kidnapped, and only a young man by the name of Link can save the kingdom. A bit of a tired plot, but once you get started, you won't even notice it.

The game starts with you, that is to say Link, working as a farm hand in a nice little village at the southern end of Hyrule. Soon, you get acquainted with your trusty steed, witch you can name this time around, and you meet the 3 children of the village, and Lilya, the mayors daughter and your childhood friend. After you get to know the rest of the village, you are suddenly attacked by a gang of monsters lead by King Bulbin, who knocks you out and kidnaps the children, and Lilya. You are soon draged into the Twilight Realm and transform into a wolf. You awake inside of a prison and meet Minda, a smart mouthed little imp who becomes you partner for the rest of the game. Blah, blah, blah. You can figure out the rest of the story from there.

What, you want a run-down of the different aspects of the game? Well, fine, have your silly numbers!


Graphics: 10/10

The graphics in this game make me wounder why they stopped making games on the Gamecube.


Sound: 9.5/10

The lack of voice overs still makes me angry, its been what, 25 years and link hasn't said a single word? But the dynamic music system is a true saving grace, theres nothing like a quick change in music to let you know how hard your kicking a bosses ass.


Controls: 7/10

Have you played Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker? You know the controls.


Entertainment: 9/10

Same story, new coat of paint. But the Zelda story line is one of the stories that never get old.


Replay Value: Medium

Once you've beaten the game, theres not much left to see.


Over All: 9/10

This game is very good. I highly recommend it to any jaded Zelda fan or to any new comers to the series.



So yeah, there you go.
