In Response To: Really? (Lurono)


: I had generally heard less than stellar things about Skyward Sword. I may
: have to borrow my bro's Wii and pick up a copy. I've generally enjoyed
: Zelda games but haven't played one since Twilight Princess came out (and
: now I'm kinda sad because I just realized I haven't touched a Zelda game
: in six years).

I think there was one particular bad review of 7.5 (which thusly got a lot of coverage) where it turned out the reviewer didn't actually understand how they gyroscope aiming worked.

Overall though, it's one of the most critically acclaimed games in recent years.

If you're a Zelda fan, I can't really see how you wouldn't love it, unless there was a misunderstanding about the controls. It's not like Twilight Princess or many other Wii games where you waggle the remote around like a mad man. It requires Wii Motion+ and you have to think out each swing of your sword.
The game really was a fantastic way to mark the series' 25th Anniversary.
