9.0. This game is gonna rock. When is the review suppose to be up?chansaet

Sometime today. Just be patient. :)

You need to ask yourself this question...Do I want a review based on the first few hours of gameplay? or Do I want a review of the entire game?

Remember LOZ even though it is an action game has the length of most RPGs

from an old conversation that was locked:

Sorry its about 15 hours to complete the game and another 5 to do all the side quest

"Most gamers will rip through it in 15 hours, with more for the side-quests adding up to about 20 overall. Multiplayer trading and battle is neat, but it's no Four Swords."-ign

you could probably beat it in 10 hours though. Its still not the legth of any good rpgs like final fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Tales. Plus its a hand held zelda there always short.

do you guys know if it will require friend codes only to play online? or can you just face random people?DarthEliminator

i think every ds game as friend codes that you have to use. Thats how wifi works with the DS, you can probably play local games though with friends and you might only need one game card.

i know that you use friend codes, but you can slo play with random people in some games (ex. mario kart, metroid, tetris) I want to know if u can do that in phantom hourglassDarthEliminator

oh im not sure. I just thought you have to use friend codes with everything. I dnt usually dabble in online. sorry about that.

I HAVE IT NOW!

all I can say is SUPERB!

Although I agree with you, I'm pretty sure the review was finished a while ago, not today probably. Either way, I can care less; I'll read it, of course, but I'm getting the game regardless of the score :)

i didnt write that the modd wrote that i was quoting her. I was telling her it should be done cause they started it on thursday, and the game isnt very long cause she's saying its lasts about as long as a rpg. Even though its only about 15 hours. sorry if that post was unclear but i couldnt quote it correctly because the thread that it was in was locked.

I plan on getting to circuit city early tomorrow to get Springsteens new album and LOZ, but the flyer says that LOZ will be available by 2pm. Does this mean they wont put it out until 2?

And whats up with the toys r us thing? They give you a free strategy Guide?

"Nevertheless, apart from that one fault, Phantom Hourglass' main quest is a deeply engaging adventure that gives you plenty to do throughout. You can probably finish the quest in about 14-15 hours if you don't hunt around for all the various uncharted islands and sunken treasure chests scattered about the world, but you should, because there's some neat stuff to find."- gamespot

not rpg length, soulreavercross.

Does anyone know if the toys r us deal is just online or in store too?born2runak

pretty sure its in store i got an ad in the paper

I cant wait to get the game. Didn't know it was coming out so fast.
