Giantbomb: 4/5

"Skyward Sword is simultaneously a very good Zelda game and a rather great adventure game. It has some of the most inventive dungeons the series has ever known, sports the most impactful changes to the combat since Z-targeting, introduces wrinkles to the Zelda mythology that will force fans to rethink the entire series, and will have you gawking at it constantly, 480p 'n all. But the series finds itself facing an identity crisis, as it flirts with expanding what has defined the series without abandoning its charming but waning simplicity. Zelda doesn’t need to become something else to maintain relevance, but at a certain point, when “a brand-new great Zelda game” isn’t enough, there’s reason to pause."

Sounds about right based off the demo I've played

That's 1 star more than I expected!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It seems fitting that saving the world alongside Link will, for many of us, act as the first and last time we spend dozens of hours with a game inside our Wiis.

First time?

Not surprised by GB.

 

[SteveO409]

Oh well.....

 

[ivysaur12]

Interesting last paragraph of that review, not sure if I agree. But I guess that could be an opinion based on how the controls are linked to the experience? Or if those controls are enough to merit the game without something else to hold it up (again, I haven't played it, not sure if it does or not).

 

[brandonh83]

Guardian = right
Giant Bomb = wrong

That simple, really.

 

[Duderz]

G4TV - 4/5

[Yoshichan]

Yeah now that I think about it, GB doesn't even like games. It's obvious if you watch their quick looks, they're always salty and they can't wait to get the quick look over with.

 

[totowhoa]
