    @noah364 Well people need to just suck it if they don't like voice actors, as long as link is still silent then that's alright. The reviewers right, its a complete drag to have to read through the text all the time, im sure nintendo of all video game companies could good enough effort in getting good voice actors

    I enjoyed this game quite a bit...but I felt it was really, really easy. Typically I'm not very good at these types of games and they usually kick my arse. But I had no problem kicking the crap out of each boss on the first try. It was fun.

    The review teams of every type of gaming media have to realize that the only way we will see a truly evolved Zelda....is if Nintendo gives everybody a truly evolved system....not just add stupid gimmics to the same console. The Wii is a polished gamecube.....and the Wii U is a Wii....THATS THE PROBLEM!!!

    I don't think that it was right to complain about the lack of voice acting. If Nintendo did do voice acting, people would complain because the voices weren't how they imagined. But if they don't do voice acting, people would complain because they say that they want it. It's a lose- lose situation for Nintendo.

    FAIL Jeff, SMG2 only used text for it's dialogue and what happened to that, it got a perfect 10

    When did the Zelda games ever have voice acting?.... oh yeah the cd-i games... because those were so good.

    Hmmm.... I give this review an 8.5 out of 10.
    The visuals of Jeff's face were pretty bad, and the horrible MIDI playing in the background throughout the thing was pretty bad as well.
    And the review has an text-based element? UGH!
    I think this review's biggest issue is merely a lack of evolution- it's the exact same as every other review on the site.

    Honestly,how much evolution were they expecting? The game hasn't really strayed too far from the "get an item, use the item to beat a boss, beat Ganon, save Zelda" tree. Reviewing it based on that is pretty stupid, since Ocarina of Time really didn't pull too far from A Link to the Past.

    I haven't even finished the game, I just completed the SnowPeak Ruins temple and Im already in love, I would give this game a 9.4 so far. However I do agree with Jeff about how the sounds coming out of the wiimote sound cheap, and the text is ancient, like seriously the text would be just fine for in-game dialouge but cutscenes?! wtf man.. problems aside this game is phenomenal. excellent puzzles that make you think, dungeons that keep me in awe, epic boss fights that require different strategies to tackle, and an open world full of minigames and sidequests are what make The Legend of Zelda The Legend of Zelda

    Twilight Princess was a fairly average game. It was good but not great, it deserves an average rating.

  • moviequest14

    Posted Jul 9, 2011 6:30 pm GMT

    For sure should've been AT LEAST a 9,an 8 at all means just a fairly average game.

  • U2pdp727a1

    I think that it should have been more like 9.0 for Wii and 9.1 for gamecube, I agree with the problems with the Wii controls. In fact it's so obvious my seven year old cousin noticed it. But overall, the barely dated graphics, sound, and text-based conversations don't bother me enough to put it anywhere below a 9. This is a great game even when looking at it's eight year old, literally flawless ancestor Ocarina of Time.

    What a douche. This game is phenomenal.

    An 8.8? That's it?? This game deserved AT LEAST a 9.5-9.6.

    For me, the main problem is the lack of difficulty.

    he didnt really say much positive about the game, more negative, sounds more like a mediocre game, although its more of a masterpiece.

    what the hell is with the music? i can't even concentrate on what the reviewer is talking about with that irritating background noise.

    @BenjaBenjamin
    Your right. He's totally uninterested in Zelda. I mean, he's only the one who reviewed Ocarina of Time in 1998 and gave it a 10. Oh and I guess he is also the one who gave Wind Waker a 9.3. And he reviewed Majora's Mask, and a couple of others. Yep, totally unfamiliar with Zelda...
