The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Featured Replies

Ah, a new Zelda, for DS.

 

 

 

This game continue after LOZ Wind waker, and utilises the touch pad on the DS for EVERYTHING. From what I hear, buttons and the D pad do not do anything, and everything in the game is controlled via stylus. This can be good, this could be bad.

The game is being Shipped/released tomorrow. Anyone else getting this? It also has Wi-Fi, so that will be different for a Zelda (It isnt multiplayer like 4 swords)

Hm, if it gets positive feedback I might need to dust off my DS and try it out. I never looked into it much before because I can't get past how crappy screenshots make the graphics look. I know and believe that graphics arent't everything, but that always bugged me about this game in particular. But, it's a Zelda game, so it'll most likely be awesome.

I want to get it but I don't have a DS :(

I'll wait till Christmas.. Wait maybe not.. depending if I have nothing to do this week. Wait i'm getting it.

Quit RuneScape :)

Woozzz! I'm getting it on Wednesday, I hope the store i go to will still have copies. Game of the year for the DS.

I might be getting it, but a common theme in the reviews seems to be that for a Zelda game, the player is taken by the hand way more than usual, making it too easy for the more experienced gamer.

If I had a DS I would not want this. I'll get a psp so I can have FF7: CC and BC, plus the KH that will be on psp. The only thing i'd look forward to on the DS is the KH game coming out on that.

So, basically, you're saying (I'm inaccurate in PSP pricing [Game wise and Console] I think, tell me if I am):

 

 

 

-You'll spend $200 on the PSP, buy two games for $30 dollars a game, total $260. Then, another $30 for KH: Birth By Sleep, total $290.

 

 

 

-Then, you say you'll look forward to a pointless side story of Roxas, total $35 (Assuming the game is $35), where we already know too much about Roxas, we know what he is, where he originated, etc. Total $325.

 

 

 

-You'll waste $325 for a 4 games, and a PSP system?...Especially when the games are kinda pointless sidestories...

 

 

 

I know KH: CoM was a sidestory as well, but it connected with KH2. The Roxas story is pointless, again, because we know a lot about him. I cannot say anything about BbS, since there isn't enough info on that yet...

 

 

 

OT: The game truly is a Cube game condensed into a DS cartridge. The touch controls are utilized to it's fullest, it's a TOUCH only game. But the controls are smooth, and the graphics and music are wonderful. Definatly game of the year for DS. Takes place, conveniently after Wind Waker. :P It's truly epic, however the dungeons are short, they have the custimizable boat, uncharted island finding, treasure searching. The world feels like it's alive as well; your driving your boat through the water, suddenly a random boat attacks you, pirates attempt to sink your ship. It's great.

 

 

 

I reccomend it. :)

Hoping to get a new Signature (with matching avatar) soon. :D

 

In the meantime...Steam username: )I'll rewrite it later (add me if you want)

I went to EB and Toys R us at my lunch break and I couldn't find it, they said it isnt out till tomorrow :( .

 

 

 

Oh well, Walmart might have it, so ill go there after school.

 

 

 

Oh, to the poster above: The good thing about the DS is it will get one of the new KH hand held games, and the game is mostly multi player on wifi. Or so I've heard.

It's a darn sucky thing my DS hasn't arrived yet. This is definately a best buy for me, I will share my friend code here and if someone's interested in throwing down some multiplayer action, I'm more than ready.

 

 

 

Fake edit:

 

 

 

IGN gave it a 9, with the following ratings:

 

 

 

9.5 Presentation

 

Phantom Hourglass presents a cinematic aspect to pocket games that usually don't receive such treatment. Both screens are used to their fullest, as is touch and voice.

 

10 Graphics

 

Impressive 3D mixes with great animation and an overall beautiful design. Simply stunning.

 

9.0 Sound

 

The score isn't as epic as previous Zelda games, but it holds its own, and is easily one of the strongest on DS. Play it with headphones.

 

8.5 Gameplay

 

Overall the game is entertaining, but the focus on touch-only seems forced at times. Item touch usage and boss battles rock, but the game is too simple overall.

 

8.5 Lasting Appeal

 

Most gamers will rip through it in 15 hours, with more for the side-quests adding up to about 20 overall. Multiplayer trading and battle is neat, but it's no Four Swords.

 

9.0

 

Outstanding OVERALL

 

(out of 10 / not an average)

 

 

 

Full review for your eager eyes.

Dude, trust me. If there is one game that you absolutely must have for the DS, it's gotta be Hunters. Best multiplayer game on it.

 

 

 

I'm serious. Whatever you do, DO NOT screw MP:H.

 

 

 

Really.

 

 

 

Oh, and yeah I have it, I'm a 4-star rank on WiFi, so when you get it we can play :) .

Yea, but EU release is set for october 19th. :( But there's not much difference at working at a gameshop or not. Most of the time the games have got a specific date, and if you get your copy earlier you'll need to pay a lot of money because you broke the rule, and you get new games on the day on the release and not a day earlier so that you can sell them when you open, plus you're having the risk that they won't supply the game to you anymore. :P Yes, they're really strict.

Ill buy hunters next month. I already have to complete: Bioshock, FF4-6, NEW ZELDA GAME, and play tons of SSBB when I get it.

 

 

 

Just got my zelda about an hour ago. It is sooooo sweet, I love the controls. They are a lot like the wii controls with moving in order to swing your swords.

Ill try that out later.

 

After playing for a bit, the Sword movements can be confusing or unresponsive, but most other things work fine so far. im on the first dungeon. I like sailing about in the boat, because what kinda crazy boat can jump? \'
