Hey guys. I'm thinking about picking up a used copy of 4 swords adventures, as it's the only console zelda I have yet to play (other than LttP). Two concerns:
1) I'll be playing it single player; unfortunately, I am the only nintendo geek of my buddies.
2) Reviews don't rate the game too highly.
All in all, I'm totally fine with the whole "start over" aspect of every level; also, I've been gaming since the 80's, so 2D doesn't bother me in the slightest. What do you pros think about it? Does it deserved to be shelved alongside the other LoZ classics?
It's tough to compare FSA with other Zelda games; I don't know if I should recommend it... perhaps only if you've played A Link to the Past or any top view Zelda, you'll like it.
I had to play it single player since only I had a GBA with cable, it should be most fun with 3 or 4 players, Maybe someone that has played this game in multiplayer can tell you more
Four Sword Adventures features a great amount of the Zelda game play and can be rather fun. Perhaps the main criticism of the game is that it does little to further the Zelda series. By that I mean a great deal of the content is similar to what was featured in others. (Most of the music is simply remixed versions) Its not as open ended ether, as the game is comprised of levels, although most levels have sub quests within them and do still provide a sense of exploration. Its just a bit more liner then what has come to be expect of the Legend of Zelda series.
It still is a Zelda game though, featuring many classic elements. If you have played Alttp for gba, then there will be many interesting similarities between the games that only enhance the experience. The game is indeed better when playing multiplayer, yet it is still fun when playing alone.
Bought it the other day, and it's excellent single player. A lot of stuff I didn't remember from old games make an appearance, it's great to see fun 2d games are still being made.
I haven't played FSA and I'm not sure if I will, I don't know many people who would be willing to play a game like that and I don't think it's worth it for the 1P mode.

It is, but bear in mind that I come from the early 80's gen of gaming. I enjoy 2d games, and I value gameplay much more highly over graphics. It's a matter of opinion, I got my copy used for 10 US dollars and so far it's worth every penny.
