Nope. This game will get 7-9 reviews all around. One of the reasons why TP got those kind of reviews was because it was another game that followed the well-known 'Zelda' formula. There was nothing 'new and innovative.' For SS, motion plus may add more depth, but I don't think a different story and new color palette will give it a 10.

This game is probably the biggest change in Zelda since ALttP.

Probably, but in a world of DLC expansions and online multiplayer, single player games have to work so much harder to get a high score.

The game is 50-100 hrs with a master quest option after you beat it. That sounds like alot of content to me.

Not yet it hasn't. Edge hinted that there could be something but nothing concrete.

My mistake then. Regardless, there's still a ton of content in here and much more if the 2nd quest does end up getting included.

That's what I thought. Honestly that's my biggest hope at this point -- a meaty post-game challenge.

Be that as it may, I'm sure most reviewers will see this as a repackaged Twilight Princess with Motion plus support. Don't get me wrong; I'm totally stoked about Skyward Sword, but I do not expect it to get 10s all around. Unless, of course, there are more redeeming qualities that have not been talked about yet.

Well, we know there's a Boss Rush Mode, which is nice, but what I really want is a Second Quest/Master Quest.

This - it's the main replay factor for me once I complete the story.

Also, guessing this game will mainly get 9's.

Also, have kept myself away form all info leaks and spoilers since E3 - Can't wait now!

I want this game like I want Alison Brie, but I'll only get one of those things...

Hopefully you and Alison are very happy together. We'll all be enjoying the game without you.
I'll probably be somewhat jealous of you for a while.

It's called a Life Medal or something. dunno what it does cause it's like 800 rupees and I don't have that kind of scratch.

anyway, think I'm gonna refrain from giving out any more details. Technically, I am not violating my embargo (Nintendo said it's OK to talk about anything before the Earth Temple) but I'd prefer to be cautious.

Life Medal? Maybe it bring you back to life with full health if you die. (Though at 800 Rupees maybe it's a little much for that.)

I think it helps with defense or something, I didn't know you could buy medals!

Oh wait, I remember now! Kotaku talked about it. Fi tells you about medals that have certain effects. One give a boost to potions.

Nintendo Power doesn't have a review, but it does have a new preview.

It does contain spoilers about your second trip to Faron Woods, though.

White balance looks kinda off in that photo.

I really hope the SS gold wiimote matches the GE007 gold classic controller.

This can't come soon enough, I'm almost sick of Batman, been playing Arkham City since it came out. I probably will play a 2D Zelda to get me in the mood. I haven't played Minish Cap in a long time.

The saturation on the box is STILL messed up!

Get it together, NoA, Jesus!

EDIT: Anyway, making a new thread for this.

Geez, that was boring. They could have done the same generation progression in a quarter of the time they took. Then they could have shown more gameplay or something.

What do you think, no hope for a OoT3D or WW style commercial at this point?

It's NOA, they couldn't hand out food for free in Africa.
