Skyward Sword Review(s). And some vids. Getting VERY good reviews.

I don't mind that it doesn't have voice acting either, Zelda games are all about the excellent dungeons/action.

10/10 says IGN, that's the same score as Ocarina of Time. This looks promising. I'll have to get that gold controller since I don't have a plus controller and I haven't touched my wii in well over a year.

just preordered the CE

thx for the heads-up that it's coming

Loved Twilight Princess, couldn't stand the wind waker, am very much looking forward to powering up the Wii for the first time in over a year and playing this game. I think it has probably an inch of dust on it.

update:Strange Gamespot gives it 7.5. Why? Bad controls. Which is VERY strange cause every other review out there has claimed that the controls are actually one of the most amazing things about the game. Wonder if one of the commenters on their video review is correct, that the reviewer forgot to use Wii Motion Plus? Or maybe there was something wrong with the Wii he used it on? That would be an epic fail if so. Not saying the score isn't deserved just seems odd when every other review sites has been scoring so high (even those that aren't traditionally bought out LIKE Gamespot).

The game doesn't work at all without motionplus.

Yeah that's what I thought. :hmm: Could be he's one of the few telling the truth about the game? Or could be he doesn't know what he's talking about? Either way we'll see when I pick up my collector ED

Not everyone likes every game I guess. He wouldn't be the first person to sh*t on motion controls, pointless fetch quests, the wii's graphics or nintendos production values.

I don't think one bad review should sway anyone when the praise is so unanimous though.

LOL, by the logic they used to give skyward sword its score, gamespot should just give all FPS games a score no higher than 5 due to the generic nature of its genre.

 

[jman19]

Ohhh boy... after the response GS got for the Twilight Princess review, I have to imagine the hate is going to be immense now lol.

 

[BD2003]

Im surprised gamespot is even still around. That site was dead to me after that kane and lynch fiasco.

 

[VashHT]

Apparently the guy reviewing skyward sword was aiming with the wiimote wrong..lol. That's kind of sad, he just assumed the controls sucked instead of trying to fix it. Anyway this is going to be m first zelda game since I've played ocarina of time, I'm hoping it'll be good.

i recommend majora's mask

 

[VashHT]

Did they ever remake majora's mask or would I have to dig out my N64? I was thinking about playing twilight princess, I borrowed it from my brother but I haven't touched it yet.

Gamespot is a joke Forza 4 an 8.5.. best racing sim available on all platforms, and it gets an 8.5.. please. Reviewer must have been playing it on easy or something.

 

[Locut0s]

So... Gamespot has now added an editors note to the review:

http://www.gamespot.com/the-legend-...eview-6345839?tag=topslot%3Bread;1&page=2

Editor's note: This review originally stated that aiming was handled through the Wii Remote's infrared sensor, which is incorrect. The review has been amended accordingly. GameSpot regrets the error.

Is this a simple factual correction or an admission that the editor was perhaps holding not using the controls correctly? :hmm:

Its a simple factual correction. Its kind of ridiculous to assume that a gamespot editor doesnt know how to hold or use a wiimote. Sounds like his gripes went well beyond the controls anyway, and the motionplus can be a real PITA they way it loses calibration constantly.

Could be he's just terrible and is incorrectly blaming the controls when its just him being terrible. Granted, that would still be relevant because most gamers are terrible, and even though this game might be perfect for anyone with an ounce of skill, it could very well be frustrating for those many without.

The controls were the primary point of his complaints. The rest was hogwash.

It just seems strange to so vocally complain about the controls when the majority of responses have praised them.

 

[maziwanka]

man. wicked excited about this game - preordered the CE

 

[Tweak155]

I just tried to pre-order at BB since I have a gift card, but they are sold out

Should have grabbed it yesterday when I first searched for it.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

what the hell man. a guy slams a game because he's an idiot and cant figure out how to control it correctly? I hope he's been canned for that.
