Does this run better than the gamecube collectors edition? I got that version JUST to be able to play majora's mask again and it has such an issue with freezing up which I found out is really common with that version.. Does the same thing happen in the VC version?

This plays better than the N64 version IMO. Granted I prefer the N64 controller, but gameplay wise this is perfect.

The funny thing is, it's only people who don't come from England who say I pronounce "game" wrong.

And as we made the language, I'd say I'm probably doing it right.

[DEIVION212]

Really couldn't give a fuck.

I think this game is better than Ocarina of Time. Yes, the side quests and masks are great. But what about the dark original story? Majora is far more evil than Ganon. How about the creativity? Like the last dungeon? You flip the entire thing upside down. You use the song to create statues to push switches. How about the sad story behind each of the cursed areas? The music and enemies are awesome too. Personally, this is my favorite game ever.

Yes I really did hate the last 5, although I didn't at any point outright say that Skyward sucked. I just think it looks beyond awful, but as I ain't played it I can't say it sucks.

Motion controls are inaccurate, unresponsive and mean you can't sit comfortably to game. It's as if the Wii's promoting good posture.

Nothing will ever replace key pushes, but Ninty refuse to believe this.

@DEIVION212 well i very optimistic about skyward sword.but only time will tell i guess.also i don't get why people complain about motion controls so much it worked with mario galaxy really well.is it really that hard for people to swing their hands a few times.like i said its hard to tell right now but i think its harsh to say the game sucks before you play it. you must have really hated the last five zelda games.though i can understand your pain i feel the same way about final fantasy now.

[DEIVION212]

They're complete and utter crap and have ruined 90% of all Wii games. Almost every Wii game could be fixed with pad support and multiple difficulty settings, yet the Big and wise N are clueless, they just don't listen.

Even when Sony made the awful Move, the big names supported pads.

Bottom line, Ninty say a lot of things yet they rarely speak in truths. They're like the Jedi, everything is "from a certain point of view". Overall I've hated the last 5 Zelda's so I've officially gave up.

[DEIVION212]

I saw Shigsy playing it at E3 and he was beating enemies just by looking at the crowd swinging his arms wildly. And I fail to see why they couldn't keep it with the basic 3 hearts, maybe then it would've been truly hard. I also read Sixth Axis' hands on where they said the tacked on motion controls are even more unnecessary than usual.

I actual found it sickening when Ninty said they were going to add button controls but decided to just stick with motion controls.

@DEIVION212 from what i have seen and heard skyward sword will fix all the problem you had with the previous zelda games.nintendo said it will be the hardest zelda since zelda 2.so hard you start out with six hearts.because basic enemy's attacks are suppose to take away a whole heart.and you will be able to travel by land, air, and sea.and its already gotten a 10 from edge.and 98% form ONM.who said " its by far the best zelda"so i think it will get the series back on track :)

[DEIVION212]

I'll be honest, I'm not even prepared to try it. I hated TP, I hated Minish and the 2 DS games, as well as being dissapointed with WW as I say, so after being burned 5 times in a row, I'm not even going to risk buying it.

[averageblackreviews]

@DEIVION212 yeah i hated that too.but hopefully skyward sword will put the series back on track :)
