Zelda WW: A 9.9 or a 10?

Ok, maybe it's a bit too early to tell, but what do you think IGN will give this game? I've been hearing them say that it was better than Metroid Prime. Obviously, it would have to be a 9.9 or a 10 rating. What do you think?

A 10!

That's exactly what I am worring about. They gabve Majora's Mask a 9.9... I don't know what some sites are saying but from what I am hearing from places like Planet Gamecube, IGN, and Gayspot

, they say it's better than Ocarina of Time...

I don't know if this is an exxageration or maybe it might be true. I just hope this game sells good and gets some jaw dropping reviews.

I say 10!

Yes, Gamecube's life is on the line. This is the game that has been in development since the start of the Gamecube. When people think Gamecube, well, shallow people, they think of this "cartoony" game, and Nintendo starts getting the "kiddy" image all over again. Metroid Prime hasn't had an impact like Zelda has so far--one of the biggest arguments in the day were about "Celda". Now, I keep reading these impressions, and every one states that it has more of an anime-ish feel.. which I'm not suprised in. People think the graphics aren't much, but the reviewers say the graphics are beautiful. Plus, it's not even cel-shaded.. if you look at the graphics there are no thick black lines around the characters. Hmm?

It's been far to long a struggle to end up with a 9.9, in my opinion.

Probably 9.6 ish. Maybe more.

I don't care I'm getting this game regardless.

IGN will try to find something wrong with it. I think they love to get hate mail about their scores.

Angrist · 12-16-2002, 08:03 AM

Hmmm... what Jonbo says is true, but I think they'll end up giving a 9.9.

GameKinG · 12-16-2002, 10:04 AM

If you have to FIND something wrong with it that says something about that game...and the reviewer... :/

Well, apparently they used Maya with it. Fascinating.

That explains a lot. The graphics should be amazing.

I think this game will recieve at least a 9.9, maybe a 10, from IGN. Although I dont always agree with their ratings. I dont think Majoras Mask deserved a 9.9. This could be because it was using the same engine, but I honestly didnt really like the 3 day time limit thing, and I thought some of the puzzles were downright fusturating. But OOT is my favorite game evah...*shrugs*

probably a 9.8 or 9.9

The only other games that IGN gave a perfect 10 was Pokemon, OoT and Soul Calibur.

Well what does it say about ign if they gave MM a 9.9?

Honestly, if the game doesn't give you the awe and amazement that we all felt with OOT, how could it possibly deserve a 10?

GameKinG · 12-16-2002, 11:15 PM

Many people who got the Japanese version said TWW was like reliving that same feeling.

GameMaster · 12-17-2002, 01:42 AM

I'm guessing it'll be a 10. It's kind of a gut feeling.
