9.6 is an excellent score. Good to see WW is living up to its hype. I dont see how 20 hours to beat the game is horrible, thats about as much as any Zelda game has been (including OoT, which I could easily beat in under 10 hours). Plus, it'd be around 40 hours for completion. Thats like a perfect balance.
I always knew WW wouldnt get the perfect 10 everyone was hoping it to get. Its not really that revolutionary in terms of gameplay mechanics, and its the third Zelda game with this gameplay engine. After all thats been done since OoT, and for WW to still get an astounding score, it certainly must be a wonderful game.
Of course, theres the predictable rants from Nintendo fanboys. I dont even want to bother looking at the IGN forums tonight.
