The worst you could say about the graphics are that they are different. It's certainly not ugly. If you want ugly, go back to some older PS1 games.

I just finished the third dungeon. It's getting good.

I'd have to say that it?s better than Prime, only because I like the Zelda theme more than Metroid.

doooood, slow down man... you gotta cherish the game a new one only comes every 2 years or so

It's available for me to pick up. I kinda regret preordering it now.

the game would be 10 times cooler if it had voice acting for everything :\

Oh no! You have to READ!

I love the way everything is done in the game. It's so darn, dare I say? Charming. Zelda forever!

I have it and love it. The graphics are actually really good and cool....

I spent a good long time just watching the game before I even started doing things at Outset Island. Just watch the seagulls for a while, and it's easy to appreciate the level of detail that the game has.

A lot of the reviews have said that the game is too easy, but I have to admit that the first boss took me apart a few times before I figured out what was going on. Oops.

Other things I noticed:

When you use the spyglass, there's actually a slight delay as your view comes into focus.

If you stand behind a torch and look at the room beyond, there's heat distortion.

Once while in combat with two enemies, I did a sideways dodge jump when one of the creatures took a swing at me. It actually missed me and hit his ally and knocked him down.

My only problem with the game so far has been because I actually played some of the Zelda Master Quest bonus disc first and got used to using the C-stick instead of X/Z/Y for the configurable item buttons.

I put in a couple hours last night. It's a really good looking game. Everything seems to be well thought out and executed nicely. The story seems to be enjoyable and the gameplay is great. I'm looking forward to getting more into it this weekend.

To the people that own it and really like it so far: were you skeptical before you got it? I mean were you one of those that was disappointed with the cel-shading and cartoony/ toddler Link when you saw the first gameplay videos? Because I am one of those people and before I run out and get a GC for this game I want to make sure it's not too kiddish or stupid.

Ganon has to be the coolest video-game villain ever.

I've loved all of the Zelda games, and i was dissapointed when I saw the celshaddedness i was dissapointed. But I have it anyways... And now, I actually like it. It looks good on my HDTV.

This game is simply beautiful. The game just captures your heart right from the beginning and doesn't let go. You will understand better when and if you actually play it. This game to me seems a lot more fun than OOT even if easier. There's something about it that makes you just want to keep going. Truly a masterpiece.

Eternal Darkness can be had for a mere $20 at Gamestop/Babbages/Funcoland. Helluva deal for a great game!

Agreed. It seems I have trouble walking away from it. 2 hours here, 2 hours there...

I second the call as a masterpiece. Truly deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest games of all time. Amazing stuff.
