The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess review

Advantages: Immersive gameplay, Amazing story, tons to do
Disadvantages: None

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an epic action adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for it's Wii and Gamecube consoles. In this game, set hundreds of years after Ocarina Of Time, you control the hero Link, as he tries to prevent Hyrule from being engulfed by the Twilight Realm, a dark parallel dimension filled with monsters. He is helped by Midna, a mysterious creature from the Twilight Realm. A major difference between ...
...just another genius step for the creators of this game, constantly inventing new and different things to add to this series of games. As with all other Zelda games you can free roam a lot, and the amount of space in the game is staggering. The game is so vast it's hard to believe it all fits on one disc. You can run for ages and not even get half way across the sprawling countryside. There are places where you can swim, glide and fly and maybe even ...

Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Advantages: great game
Disadvantages: no!

Ever since the launch of the GameCube, Nintendo has been giving its vision of "connectivity" between the GameCube and the Game Boy Advance the hard sell. We've seen plenty of GameCube and GBA games that let you swap items or unlock secret bonuses between the console and portable versions of a game, but these have largely been token gestures, and the shining examples of Nintendo's connectivity ideals have been few and far between. The Legend of Zelda: ...
...group of four, and using the Game Boy Advance as a controller has an appreciable impact on the experience. When you're all hooked up and playing with a posse, Four Swords Adventures is a great game. Four Swords Adventures does an expert job of blending cooperative and competitive gameplay. As owners of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the GBA will recall, Four Swords originated as a nice little multiplayer game that piggybacked along with ...

Review of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (GameCube)

Link, Hero of Winds

Advantages: Huge world, involving gameplay, great controls - Its a Zelda game
Disadvantages: Wind Waker cutscenes...for the 1000th time, Tingle

...to everyone involved. Most of the time change is met with angry mobs wielding torches and baying for someone’s blood. When that change involves the very popular Legend Of Zelda then your sure to make a lot of people extremely uneasy at the possibility of change. I wont lie and say i was thrilled with Nintendo making Wind Waker cell-shaded. In fact i disowned the game entirely, disgusted i had waited this long for a Zelda game that looked nothing ...
...of course the amazing Majora’s Mask). So unhappy with Nintendo's choices regarding Wind Waker that i waited for Twilight Princess. That game was most definitely what i was waiting for after Majora's Mask. Finally having cured the itch for a new Zelda title, a new one developed. The fact that months after playing Twilight Princess to death and finding everything that could be be found one thing ate away at me. Another Zelda game was there to be played ...

Review of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube)

Decent game, but not up to usual Mario standards

Advantages: Good range of characters, original
Disadvantages: Repetitive

Being a big fan of Mario, I found this game quite disappointing. It does have its strenghs: it is full of original ideas such as the way the 2D graphics are cleverly used to give Mario new moves and there are a good range of characters to pick up, each with their own moves. It also has a decent story line with some good humour and several side quests to keep you busy. For me, however, the game is let down by the new fighting system (very pokemon-esq) ...
...I also felt that the game was not taxing enough, there are very few parts of it that really challenge you, the rest is simply playing through the game without ever really feeling in danger. This is certainly not a bad game, but in my opinion is not up to the usual standard of Mario games, and is probably better suited to younger gamers. ...

Review of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GameCube)

Where's the shoot 'em up???

Advantages: Graphics, plotline, rather addictive and the general cuteness!
Disadvantages: Inconsistency with difficulty...not enough Arwing flying scenes.

...anything else, it followed the Star Fox team as they went from outlaws on Papetoon, to an elite Arwing fighter squadron. There was also a 64 manga which more or less explained the storyline of the N64 computer game and gave some scenes which were not seen in the game. And then finally 'Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco' which chronicles the events between the N64 game and Starfox adventures, also explaining why Falco left the Starfox team. What I ...
...and the beginning of the Adventures clash, in the manga it ends with the Starfox team seeing the Dinosaur Planet being torn apart and deciding to go and save it, whilst in the adventures they are ordered to do so by General Pepper. (And before anyone asks, yes I am sad enough to own the manga...) It's also the final game produced by Rare for Nintendo before they went over to Microsoft's Xbox but everyone seems to have said that before me! Plot ...
