First half of Zelda TP.

Second half wasn't nearly as good.

I really enjoyed Zelda: TP.

I like Final Fantasy XII a lot. But battle feels like it doesn't absorb the player at all. Maybe I didn't play enough. But I guess I like to do more in a battle than just press attack and run around while waiting for my characters to do it on their own.

But the story, graphics, world, etc is pretty amazing. I think they should have adopted a battle system closer to Star Ocean.

I guess Zelda takes my vote.

For me, it's between Gears of War and TP. Although I've only played GoW for less than an hour, it was pretty dang impressive IMO. But I will say TP because I experienced the whole game and was thoroughly impressed.

POSSIBLE SPOILER

....

I thought the 2nd part was phenominal, first part was great, but the 2nd part was my fave. Getting the double hookshot, ball and chain, those fun boss fights......

The only part I didn't like was the water temple, then again i've always not liked the water temples

Interesting comment. For some reason, I've always hated water levels in any game. Especially when they became three dimensional. Like in Mario 64 and Sunshine. I get scared!

I have a feeling of fear, and overwhelming anxiety.

BTW Z:TP isn't hard enough!!! Give us harder bosses next time... I want to know what it is like to die on bosses.

The first half of TP had a lot of story and things between dungeons, the second half didn't have that much going on. Sometimes it was just going from dungeon to dungeon.

After I played half of the dungeons, I thought it was the best game ever... after the other half I'm not that sure anymore. Of course it's still very good and 1 of the best.

I very much agree. I think a Master Quest type deal really needs to be released for TP - a revamp of the dungeon difficulty would make almost everybody happy.

I'm loathe to admit I'm just not that impressed with Zelda so far. I don't know if I'm jaded from having played so many games but it just seems like the same old same old to me. Such as when you're jumping from platform to platform in the Goron mines and they have the obligatory lava spouts which you must time your jumps around. The game is also way too easy - I feel like I'm sleep walking through it.
