Board 8 > German Gamepro Skyward Sword review zone [jajajajajajajaja]

(+) Yeah! (+)

9.3/10 is the score. Kind of weird that German Gamepro uses a 10 scale and not 5 stars like the US counterpart. oh well

Pros
epic Story
a lot of Innovation
user friendly menu
superb control
huge content
Zelda flair

Cons
Aliasing, low detailed textures
Samples instead of voices (regarding voice acting)
No overworld map


so basically it boils down to

Pros: Being a zelda game on the wii
Cons: Being on the wii


no overworld map seems kind of strange because there's definitely a map. Maybe just because it's up on the air and you're flying to each location and not walking there that makes them consider it to be not a world map

Is there a pause menu map? Maybe they mean that.

Yes, I laugh at my own jokes
it's been so long since I've gone to the village to visit my animal friends. I'm excited to play this ****.-Mer

So it's pretty much a perfect game except they don't like the hardware. Ok, joke review.


At least they are still more relevant than IGN.

all 9's/10's so far which is good.

Goty nominee's preditctions: (Based on ratings)

Portal 2
Batman: Arkham City
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
The Elder Scroll's V: Skyrim
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Burning Spies is one of my Specialties!

Epic story is good. I still think one of TP's largest faults is that the plot kinda fell apart at the end. A strong finish is imperative for SS.

good to see the 87 from Sonic

hopefully reviewers won't crap over a great game like they did with Colors just because of Sonic's reputation

are we going to have a topic for every SS review? I hope we do when the embargo is up because that'll be crazy.

I don't see how you can look at the cons list and come to that conclusion in any way

Maybe because, other than the overworld map, which seems to be in dispute, the other cons likely come from hardware limitations?

The Wii can't do voices? I'm only seeing one thing that might be a hardware limitation. "Samples instead of voice acting" has been a complaint of reviewers for the last few Zelda games.

Not to the level they are looking for. And Zelda does not need more than Samples, it would kill the atmosphere if others are talking, but Link is not. Now if Link talks, that's a different story.

Fair enough, I somehow missed the voice acting complaint.

Granted, I think it's dumb. Not every game needs it.

Besides, wouldn't they have to condense the audio quite a bit if it was full on voice acting? That's technically a hardware limitation.
