Tapsearch Com EditorFirst impressions of Zelda: Twilight Princess
April 7th 2007 02:09
Thanks to my sweetheart girlfriend, I received Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii yesterday. Two quick points.
One, the play control is really incredible. Swinging your arm like a sword (gently, warns the instruction manual) really adds to the experience, and I like that they continued the practice of putting a controller diagram on the right-hand side, indicating what buttons do what at each point of the game. The idea of turning Link into a Wolf...well, I haven't played like that much, but it's different.
Two, my biggest criticism is that the game progression isn't intuitive. Even on the early stages I've played, I've referenced the online guide quite a bit. And right after praising the idea of a controller diagram, it's incomplete -- I couldn't figure out for the life of me, even with the instruction manual right there, how to reel in a fish. Again, the online guide is a blessing.
I hope later in the game there are more genuine puzzles, as opposed to "where the heck do I go now?" questions with absurd answers.
