Review of Zelda TP
My Zelda Twilight Princess review.
So that time is here again, a new epic Zelda game is released and thousands flock to their nearest game store. Eager to get their grubby mitts on a copy and they were not disappointed.
You return home and slide your disk, hands shaking with excitement, into your Wii. There it is...the music, awe inspiring, the rhythm rising and falling like the sea. You watch in amazement as the opening scene scrolls past your glassy eyes.
Suddenly, you are no longer sitting on your sagging sofa staring at the TV screen, but sitting next to a beautiful river, listening to it splash and gurgle as it moves lazily past your feet.
This is the amazing thing about the Zelda series, they have the power to instantly transport you to another land, a land where the are fantastic people to meet, beautiful places to see and devastating evil to battle and Zelda Twilight Princess is no exception.
In fact this could be the greatest Zelda in transporting you to another world, because of the superb graphics. Utilising the full power of the Wii and then some, this game looks truly stunning.
But this is not just a treat for your eyes, oh no. This is a treat for ears and your emotions. With a storyline so complex and touching you feel as if you are watching a film. The use of the Wiimote and nunchuk in Zelda is a real bench setter.
Use the Wiimote to slice with your sword, fly giant birds, fire your bow and arrow or even just go for a relaxing fish in the tranquil waters of Hyrule. The use of the nunchuk is in a more standard gaming way, I mean that in a positive way.
For example, you move your character (Link) and his horse using the joystick, but it is used in one way which I particularly like. You shield, press Z to bring it up and defend yourself from arrows, charging armoured knights and even fire, but the shield is not only used for defensive purposes...
When you have your shield raised, you can thrust it forward into a attackers face to make him/her/hit lower the guard and the you sweep in with a strike from the Wiimote.
Overall this is, in mine and many others opinions, the greatest game currently available for the Nintendo Wii.
Summary
Pros:
Great graphics
40+ completion time
Superb control scheme
Fantastic story
Cons:
Can be to challenging for some
A lot of walking around the very large map
When you save and quit it will save from the beginning of the level
