The Legend of Zelda-Phantom Hourglass Although this new Zelda DS title didn't have as much hype as proposed it definitely got me hyped up. I just had to see it so I ordered a Japanese import copy which equals no story and lots of guess and check. But now I own the English version so I can replay the game for the story. I can honestly say that the controls are everything and more I expected from Nintendo. The movement can get a little confusing at times because of the weapon switching but you will get used to it. It will get annoying when you accidentally jump off a cliff and land either out of your way or in a pit of lava causing you to lose a heart, not to mention how difficult it is to perform a somersault. But lets stop being pessimistic and get to the goods, the innovative weapons use every aspect of the touch screen. And you thought Wii blew buttons off the map? You don't even need a single button on the DS. How nice? Now to the gameplay can you say ADDICTING!? Chances are you won't be able to put this game down. I have to constantly change position because my arm goes numb from playing so long probably due to lack of circulation. I recommend putting your DS on a table and playing because you don't exactly need a button and this way you can casually play without holding your DS. The learning curve depends on the person but on average you will be able to play fine in 15 minutes and master the controls soon after. The game is also a very expansive title for a handheld and offers 40+ hours of play depending on your style of play. This is definitely a buy no doubt about it. There is no game that is worth 35 bucks at this time more than Z:PH. It can bring any first time player into the Zelda story and leave them with hours of entertainment will not be soon regretted. It’s a buy so get off your lazy arse (yah I said it..) and get this game.
