Zelda Wind Waker doesn't get a Platinum from EGM.... - Page 3

Some qoutes from the review:

"Maybe that's why when we started playing it, the first 5 people that walked into the room yelled "[Expletive], the animation is incredible!"

"Every character and enemy movement, every reaction, and every facial expression is seamless and fluidly animated on a level no other game ever made can touch."

"even Grand Theft Auto-loving holdouts will be won over if they would just play the game themselves"

"It's one of the most unique and enjoyable games ever made- go play it"

And that's from the guy who gave it a 9.5

. (Not that that's a bad score mind you)

"This is a worthy inheritor of the Zelda crown"

"an instant classic no gamer should miss"

"these graphics are astounding"

"longtime Zelda fanatics will cream their tunic when they hear these arrangements of classic themes, and the haunting new tracks are also great"

"Wind Waker's core gameplay is the best the series has ever had"

"the world is so perfectly realized that everything just fits"

"Now that I've played the game, I couldn't imagine the game looking any other way"

"These dungeons impress me like none of the previous Zelda's before it"

"I have no complaints at all against The Wind Waker"

"It's yet another masterpiece of the Legend of Zelda series"

"My biggest concern with Zelda was actually forcing myself to stop playing it so I could get some sleep before I had to go to work the next day"

"Once you see it, it's easy to understand why Nintendo did what they did"

"The animation in this game is without equal"

"now the realistic Link in Soul Calibur 2 looks pretty rediculous to us now"

"fighting has never been as deep, or fun, in any Zelda game"

"You only need to hear 5 words about this game: You. Must. Play. This Game!"

That's the special thing about a 10.0... a 10.0 represents both a 10, and every number greater than 10. I mean, some games a reviewer would give a 15 if they could, and some games are barely at that 10.

Zelda OoT had the mystical perfect 10.. meaning it wasn't even close to a borderline 10. They could have wanted to give it a 20 for all we know (meaning the game dropped 10.5.. not so close anymore is it?)

. But when a game gets a 9.5, and two 10's, it reflects on those 10s as being borderline.

That's just what I think... no matter how confusing it may sound

Ebgames says it'll be released March 18th, on a tuesday.

My EB said it was coming out on March 25th, and I know that even if you preorder it you can't get it till the day after, which is March 26th, but I'm not exactly sure so don't take my word for it.

I thought that Super Mario Sunshine didnt get the respect it deserved. People said it sucked, even though it is the best game I have ever played.

But Back to WW. I have that issue of EGM. I havent played the game, so I cant say its bad or good. But those scores are good. When I fist saw the Wind Waker screenshots. I was more into the fluid animation than the gameplay.

It didn't. I loved it. Especially the vacation, tropical theme.

I think Super Mario Sunshine was way overrated... didn't live up to the hype at all. At least to me.

chobitz · 03-16-2003, 05:40 PM

Best game I ever played. I love the Hotel level.

Systemman · 03-16-2003, 06:53 PM

yea its pretty cool, but back to the topic, I think the look of it is great but maybe they gave it a 9.5 is because of all the contraversy over the new look, think about it, its possible........

Nah That wasnt the reason...They liked the new look...and they would be like''everyone else hates the new look, lets hate it too!''

I think it was because some areas got repetitive...or something...

System of a Down rocks, BTW.
