Default Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

OK. I beat the game today. But first... I haven't played that pumpkin mini-game that Angrist is talking about, but I did notice at one time when learning new songs that if I waved my hand too much I wouldn't get things right. Doing the same gestures with less... degrees, or whatever actually did the trick. Try that.

OK. This is going to be random thoughts more than anything else. I saw the review Yahtzee did for the game and I agree on two things. Fi points the obvious too often. I thought the same thing when I got to the octopus scene. And the "prove yourself" thing went too far. Stupid water dragon Y U NO JUST TEACH ME SONG!" The controls are good really, you just have to learn to outsmart the oponents and I want this type of controls to become a permanent part of the Zelda series. This is so much better than just pushing buttons. Finally combat with motion controls gets polished and becomes thoughtful and not mindless waggling. The stab gesture I found (at the last boss battle) that if you just perform it a bit slow it registers it perfectly and it's not a problem as you'll still hit your oponent on time. But I hated fighting Beamos for this reason alone.

The final battle was awesome. It took me a couple of tries but when I finally got it I was kicking butt without making mistakes at all.

I really didn't have any problem with fighting the same boss three times since each time it got harder. Going straight to the third version would have been overkill and keeping it on the first version too easy.

Overall there were some small things I didn't like but they don't can't drag the experience down. The good things about the game are just too good (IMO) to get me worked up on these things.
