Zelda, Phantom Hour Glass - WiiTalk

This game is a lot better than it looks. I was a bit worried it was going to be a little childish and wasn't sure that the touch screen controls would work but it all fits perfectly. £10 well spent

9/10

I'd say about 8. Only small issues. One is the dungeon music was very the same - as in, it was the same in each dungeon.

Also, the game compared to other handheld Zelda games is rather short - not a big deal, as it is the first Zelda handheld to be created with 3D graphics like this, and the addition of puzzles such as blowing the screen, talking in to DS and even shutting the DS (!!) to solve a puzzle, were very new and interesting ideas, that make up for any "length issue". (Same as even thou Majoras Mask has 4 dungeons, it has large chunks between each one, and has other factors that make up for it, MM is my fave 3D zelda also.).

Also, I liked fighting Bellum at the end of the game as opposed to Ganondorf. I'd like to see Bellum or something alike on the new Wii Zelda, as opposed to Ganondorf. I think Ganondorf should semi-team up with Zelda/Link to defeat an insane creature on the new one. Something should want to destroy the world, Ganondorf - wanting to rule the world would contest, so he'd see sense and aid Link/Zelda. But that is all another story.

I can't believe I played and finished this over a year ago. I got the game for £7 brand new due to a discount I manages to get, and I can't complain really for that! I really liked the bosses as well.

I've given it a 9 too. My boyfriend bought me a copy shortly after I graduated and I spent about a week solidly playing it. Spent a lot of time looking for gold ship parts, too, though. I haven't played it for about a month now, still need to complete it... since I got my Wii my DS has been a bit neglected!

Best game on the DS. Fantastic from start to finish. 9. (would have been a 10 if the rolling worked better!!)

I didn't have any problem with the rolling? Just never seems to respond for you?

I give it a 9 aswell. I really like the controls and the new puzzles. I don't give it a 10 because it's too short but for a portable console this could be seen as a good point.
