the gave it a 5/5

Pros
Play the game and be glad you did. I
Cons
t's essentially a port of a GameCube game.

here is the part that everyone wants to know

So essentially, what you're playing is a port of the GameCube version of Twilight Princess that's been retooled for the Wii. The biggest difference is of course the addition of the new motion-sensitive control scheme. I'm happy to report that the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk do an incredibly admirable job of making the game a lot of fun to play. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this is a preferable method of controlling the game than a regular joypad. Movement, exploration and combat are highly accurate and if you fail or die, it's not the system's fault, but rather your own. I know this has been the biggest concern for many Zelda lovers and gamers in general, but I can't overstate this enough -- the Wii makes for a superb Zelda gaming experience.



In the end, there's no way that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess disappoints. It's an excellent addition (and homage to Ocarina) to the franchise, and you'll have an enormous amount of fun playing it from start to finish. 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. If you've been on the fence in any capacity, then please rest assured that you'll not be disappointed. I'm looking forward to checking out the GameCube version later next month, but I'm having a hard time imagining it being any better than the Wii interpretation. Nintendo's flagship game has finally arrived and you better damned well appreciate it. It's ultimately fantastic.

they are trading the graphical power for innovation. Gamecube graphics are pretty damn good to begin with. that and they are moving to DVD format as well. I'm sure the system has more RAM and better lighting effects and such, but it's not built as an all in one HD solution like the other systems are. It's just for games.

Red steel is the best looking game

the original xbox was relatively untapped. Because most games were built around the ps2, the wii is just a bit more powerful than the xbox one

The gamecube's always had nice graphics, but hardly any games use it. Look at Resident Evil 0 1 and 4. Those were made relatively close to the beginning of the console and they're some of the best (albeit creepy) looking games on the system. RE4 on PS2 doesn't even compare to GCN.

I haven't been following Twilight Princess since they delayed the launch for Wii, but it could be uglier than Wind Waker and I'd still enjoy it.

Resident Evil 4 was just eye candy. But the PS2 had a loading screen. lol
