 The game that hooked me up into games again October 13, 2008
To start I want to give you a little backstory on my gaming. To be honest, I had been away from games since I stopped using my PSOne back in the day. Historically I had an ATARI 2600, a NES, a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64 and Playstation... and by the time I graduated I had just stopped using my Nintendo 64 and my Playstation; that was, definitely, a while ago.
After that I just did some occasional gaming with some of my mates in my computer, one LAN party every 3 months or something, but I wasn't really addicted. Unfortunately I also lack the time to dedicate to games 24/7 as one would like.
I had played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask back in the day of the Nintendo 64, and had absolutely loved them.
A few months ago I decided to buy a Wii while I was on a trip with some of my mates overseas. I bought my Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl then because it was all I could afford at the moment, (and by the way, do I love those two) but then I decided to buy The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, to get back to more serious gaming.
This game is absolutely gorgeous, aesthetically, the maps are huge, and you have a lot to explore, you feel the vastness of the world (and would be seriously bored if you didn't have access to Epona most of the time).
It is difficult enough to keep you thinking most of the time. I honestly have been too busy working on my research project to be playing too much, and thus I haven't finished it, however, being in the part of the game where I am gives me authority to write a review about it.
I really enjoy the game, the music is amazing, though it could be better if it weren't synthesized. The story is intricate and interesting, it has enough twists, and you really get to "know" the characters. You even end up loving Midna.
There are only two things I don't like about the game that much, and hence my 4-star rating.
One is the lack of a musical instrument in the game, I really loved how the ocarina was integrated in the N64 versions, and how the Wind Waker worked in its game... I just feel it's kind of lacking.
The other reason for my 4-star rating is that the game feels way too linear, there aren't many side-quests, and thus you feel like you're reading a book more than playing a game, at times.
All in all this is a wonderful title, and you should definitely add it to your library.
 A great game, well executed October 13, 2008

I got this game for my wife, an avid Zeldaphile, and she loves it. The scenery is beautiful, and the controls are easy enough to learn. Some of the dialogue has that "lost-in-translation-from-Japanese" feel, but heck, so did the other Zeldas. Put briefly, if you liked the other Zeldas, you'll like this one. If you're new to Zelda, but own a Wii and like a challenge, this game is for you, too. Parents: Good news--I haven't found anything offensive in this game at all. Some parts may be a tad scary for the really little ones (<6), but your average third grader will eat this up. Same goes for adults.
Better than Ocarina of Time October 7, 2008

As always the Twilight Princess is yet another epic addition to the Zelda franchise. Involving storyline, beautiful scenery, amazing character design and intuitive game play, its everything a great action RPG is made of. I would highly recommend this game and eagerly await the next installment in the Zelda universe.

Not even close to Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker but fun none-the-less. A must have for WII owners.
This is a good game but not for very busy people September 19, 2008
This is one of those games you need to sit down and play for a few hours at a time. You will want to do so. Some of the challenges are a little frustrating for novice gamers but you can get through this with a little persistance and a lot of time.
