The Legend of Zelda: TWW IGN review

Daedaelus · Mar 23rd, 2003, 04:51 PM

For all you non-insiders:

Presentation
Wow. Zelda perfectly realized as a cartoon. Everything from a slick interface to so much of the Zelda universe to behold. 10.0

Graphics
Gorgeous. Whether you like the style or not, you have to appreciate the technique and technology. Huge world, detailed locales, beautiful animation and particles, all at 30 frames and in progressive. 9.0

Sound
Some great music and sound effects mix with some less than stellar, MIDI-like samples and muted speech work. 8.0

Gameplay
Just about as perfect as can be. Finely crafted play mechanics, control, balance, design, and more, but it's occasionally scarred by tedious fetch quests and a sense that the game lacks difficulty. 9.0

Lasting Appeal
20+ hours the first time through and twice that for completionists -- and you'll want to come back after you beat it. Superb. 10.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 9.6

Just thought I should put this up as curtesy

I will post the source, but it's pointless unless you have IGN Insider: Click
