IGN gave it a 10/10 saying that Ocarina of Time has finally been beaten.

I'm a little turned off the art style of Skyward Sword. I'm a huge fan of the Twilight Princess/Ocarina of Time style. Other than that though, I think the game is shaping up to be amazing.

I gotta agree, I love the twilight princess style, the skyward sword style is a big turn off for me. But it still looks like an amazing game

Once you're actually playing the game, I doubt you'll even notice.

I'll be focusing on the gameplay then, I'll still always prefer TP art design but man what IGN showed on there review makes me happy

[Goji]

Well sure, it was basically a glorified Ocarina of Time (which is my favorite game ever, I might add). I totally get where you're coming from.

With that said though, graphics aren't everything. If Wind Waker taught us anything, it's that a Zelda game can look "weird" to some, but still have the same gameplay they fell in love with in the first place. I think we have nothing to worry about. This game will be amazing.

And the best part is that this style of graphics take longer to age, Ocarina looks rather bad now, but Windwaker still looks as good as it did back then.

Exactly what I thought, I really enjoy the graphics they chose for this game, seems like the perfect balance. Not too cartoony, not too realistic.

Skyward Sword is nominated for Spikes GOTY: http://www.spike.com/articles/3ni61d/vi ... e-nominees

ANd each one makes me want it more

Just over a week to go. I can't wait for it myself.

[Goji]

Well damn. Game Informer also gave this a perfect 10.

[Gigan X3]

That's quite the achievement, GI, to me, seems to be rather harsh on Nintendo.

[Living Corpse]

Well damn. Game Informer also gave this a perfect 10.

And here I thought only Batman would get the 10 this year.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I want to play this now... To bad I usually suck at Zelda unless I have a guide

[Gigan X3]

Then this is your chance to clear one without a guide. You can do it!

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I hope so, I want to be able to do it, and not be considered a noob

I say go Rambo this time. It's much more rewarding that way. If you ever get truly stuck, and really have no clue what to do, you can always glance at an online guide if you have to.

Here I go again with my "back in the days" comment:

Back in the day, if you got stuck, it meant you staying put, playing the game, wandering uselessly until something worked out, that was real cool as a kid, and you couldn't save on the spot on some games!

Still need an online guide for the damned OoT water temple. I would trust myself more with it, but it's possible to get yourself stuck in there and be unable to continue or go back. At least it rewards you with Morpha, the easiest boss in existence.

I want my shiny gold Wiimote.

The amount of praise for this game is intimidating. I really want to give it a shot.
