Zelda: The Wind Waker
i just finished this, after renting it a little over a week ago. low on cash, but had enough to do this.
It was worth it!
the graphics were
great, the cell shading is simply beautiful. all moving dieties looks like living, breathing, 3D animations. they never look paper thin!
the graphics can get better, but not easily.
the sound..... got boring. sure, i LOVE the original Zelda tune and the 'puzzle solved' theme.. but.. come on, we need a change.
the story is as thin as the others, if a little different. most games I play I play for plot. this game i played out of love of the series and, of course, fun.
the play control was great. not flawless, but better than many control scheemes. If only all games had the Splinter Cell PS2 control mapping perfection!
overall, the game is perfect. i am a little let down because all of the magic isn't here now , but I realise i'm trying to catch the 'magic' of the original... that's been... what.. 15 years? this is the latest installation of a l o n g series and it's pulling the job off very well.
if only i can recatch the 'A Link to the Past" spirit again!
10 even.
