Oh, dear. You Nintendo fans are really too much. Don't you know, I say, don't you know that the proper way to approach this is to offer vague insults with uncommon words all the while maintaining that important, detached attitude. Emotional involvement = bad.

Come on, assimilate with GAF.

You're equating GAF with emotional detachment? :lol What message board have you been visiting?

**** that, he's dead to me.

Honestly, that score is so obviously just sorry ploy for attention it's pathetic. Honestly, what is arguably the best game of one of the top 3 videogame series of all-time gets an 8.8?

I'm no Nintendo fanboy, but I am a Zelda fanboy. I've read and analysed every single review so far of the game, and having played it myself with the Wii remote, I know that this game is excellent.

So when Gerstmann, who has shown so often that he has little interest in the Wii and motion-sensing controllers, gives the game 8.8 - suggesting it's worse than Wind Waker - gets on my nerves so much.

It's not his opinion that frustrates me, it's his entire attitude. He should never have reviewed the game. All of you saw him on On the Spot - the guy didn't even stand up for Wii Golf! And he had a look of disdain the entire time. I'm not going to take this review seriously, but god this guy annoys me.

The fact that the review is poorly written doesn't hepl either.

Yeah. The only reason he gave the game that score was to get attention. Im certain that not every person that played the game liked it very much. So why didnt THEY give it a lower score too? He's like the kid that stands out from the crowd. 1+1=3 to him or something

Zelda: TP deserves the score it got. IMHO, the Zelda series is one of the most overrated series ever. Glad to see Okami and FFXII get better scores, which are better games.

Maybe they'll take it down like 1UP did with the NWN2 review...


Nah... maybe not.

Jeff Gertsmann (sounds fatter that way) definitely needs to lose some gerts.

After having watched Gamespot's live Wii introduction segment, their credibility as game journalists was completely shot in my eyes. I wondered how people who were so clueless could review games, I mean there was a section where after obtaining the slingshot they completely failed to see the HUGE RED ****ING TARGETS up in the trees and wasn't until about 30minutes later where they even noticed them to shoot at. They took about an hour and a half playing what should have been 15mins of the game. Their credibility at that point was null and void.

Someone needs to make a video of this and Youtube it. I have the whole show downloaded; maybe I'll get to it later.

DONT WORRY GUYS, IM SURE IGN WILL GIVE ZELDA TP THE TRUE SCORE IT DESERVES

JUST LIKE WHEN IGN GAVE SMS A 9.4 AND THAT EVIL JEFF GAVE IT A 8

If they raise the score, they will lose whatever credibility they have left, the cred they didn't lose for putting up that System Wars board.

This thread contains a unique mixture of Nintendo fanboys crying, neutral onlookers not knowing what to think, and Sony/MS fanboys claiming that this is the most truthful review this year.

Make sure to get the part where Jeff misses the same straight jump 3 times consecutively in the first village, falling into the water every time. Also, where he refuses to stand for wii golf/wii bowling, instead flicking his wrists to roll the ball then complaining that its curving every single time.

The guy has a beef with the Wii, everyone can see that. But why take that out on a game of this caliber? So embarrassingly juvenile.
