zelda box.jpgOne of the most anticipated titles of the year, Nintendo’s Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii, has certainly impressed a lot of reviewers, as it successfully continues down the same path as Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64, hailed as one of the greatest games ever made.

GameSpy (100/100) “Get over the fact that the Wii’s hardware is simply not as powerful as the other next-gen machines and get into the fact that Twilight Princess is one of the best games you’ll play this year.”

1UP (100/100) “It’s not a reinvention of the genre like Ocarina was — but it’s much better, because it takes all its predecessors’ raw ideas, perfects them, and creates an experience that’s at once new and familiar. It’s rare to find a launch game that truly justifies the purchase of a new console, but this is precisely that.“

GameInformer (100/100) “There really is no better introduction to a new console, or a better game for that matter, than Twilight Princess. This is the game of the year.“

IGN (95/100) “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is, in my opinion, the greatest Zelda game ever created and one of the best launch titles in the history of launch titles – second only, perhaps, to the at-the-time ground-breaking Super Mario 64.”

GameSpot (88/100) “You’ll almost certainly enjoy the game for its terrific puzzles, colorful characters, and compelling story, but at some point the feeling of nostalgia crosses the line and holds this game back from being as unbelievably good as some of its predecessors.”
