Zelda phantom hourglass rocks!

[shadowprophet]

I ended up getting that zelda phantom hourglass, Its better then I thought.
At first I had reservations about a zelda game that's controlled entirely by touch screen. I admit the controls feel different at first, but after you get the hang of it, It feels good, It controls nice and the touch screen allows some interesting and deeply involving game play.

I recommend this game to any zelda fan, you wont be disappointed. It does have the wind waker theme with the cartoony look, and the story isn't dark and foreboding like twilight princess. lets be fair, the story isn't even as dark as wind wakers. But its the game play. The damned addicting game play. I cant stop playing it.

In short, if your a zelda fan your punishing yourself if you don't try phantom hourglass. :thumbup:

Well that's about everything I wanted to say. I'm gone to play more hourglass. peace people.

*edit to dark, yeah, I know, I should put things in the proper forums, My bad, I just really favor off topic over other forums, for some reason.

I agree. This game is great. I was playing Worms Open Warfare 2 all the time, now I'm totally hooked on Zelda. Have you tried the battle mode? I gave it a shot last night, but the other player disconnected.

Ive tried the multiplayer like hide and seek type game, its pretty fun, I like being able to commend the enemies strategy by drawing the paths for them. Its really fun.
But I havent tried the battle mode yet, is it the same as the multiplayer game where you take the peices of triforce and move them to your players color zones?

*edit, I just tried it, multiplayer mode is more fun on WFC then offline . :)

This game is awsome!! I really like it! I got it for some days ago, and I think this is one of the best games for DS!! I like the animations ;). This game is really good made. Rating ++++++++++++++++++++! :)

Have you gotten to where you have to shut your DS yet? That was a crazy idea for a puzzle.

[eomund]

It's a great game with a great feel to it. I haven't gotten that far, but I do hope it gets harder.

The neatest puzzle ive seen so far, was where you say something into the mic. to get the person on the other side to open the door :D

Its a truly great game, And the touch screen works awesome for phantom hourglass.
I wouldnt change a thing about it. It works so well though, I worry that nintendo will prefer this control scheme.

Dont get me wrong the control scheme works great for phantom hourglass, I truly love it. But im not ready to give up the old method of control in favor of the touch screen for all future ds zelda titles.

[ICE]

yeah my worries over touch screen controls went away after like 3 minutes lol

[kcajblue]

i havent tried the game yet.
but i really want to.
im gonna finish up the last trial on phoenix wright first though.
which is another awesome game btw people.

[eomund]

I haven't gotten that far in the game myself, but you've peaked my interest.

Have you all registered your game yet? If you do, nintendo will send an email about a survey and you get a free Quill Stylus, they even pay for shipping.

No worries shadow, I couldn't let this one go un-noticed :thumbup:

[Kramer]

I heard it was too easy.. does it get harder as the game progresses? If this game is any good ill probably buy a DS just for it...Im kinda worried it's going to be too easy though....

[ICE]

Well my one complaint is that it is too easy. Its not so easy its not fun though, just easier than I would have liked.

The whole game is easy?
Maybe they should of added difuculty levels because zelda is getting easier and easier..... What happened to the days when Zelda games where actually challenging:confused:

[shadowprophet]

The minish cap. The last boss in that game. Was possibly the most challenging boss fight in all zelda history.

[kcajblue]

man, minish cap.
that game was so awesome.
but i didnt find that last boss hard at all.
i might have died once or twice but i beat it pretty easily.

[Cap'n 1time]

I played this game today... I got a hand cramp. The game looks great but I just dont like the controls.

[ICE]

Ah you wuss and your wussy "hand cramp"
I keep hearing about people getting hand cramps playing certain DS games. I never have..

Oh and just kidding on the "wuss" crack lol

[eomund]

It takes some getting used to I admit, but once you get used to it, it's pretty good. It's as close to mouse controls as you can get.

[woodlander]

if i was playing any gameboy zelda game on the visualboy emulator on my pc, i would never have chosen to use the mouse (if it were possible) to move a sprite about the screen.

basically, the game is good. but it is ruined by the controls. i can't see stuff because the stylus gets in the way (does anyone know if you can put the action on the top screen?). the game should have had an option to use the D pad and buttons. it just seems dumb that we're being forced to use this touch screen

Oh and just kidding on the "wuss" crack loli know.
everyone always complains about cramps from playing ds games.
but ive had a ds ever since they came out and never once have had my hands hurt from playing.

[wiggy fuzz]

brothers in arms ds gave me hand cramps largley because it's useless perspective and jerky frame rate made things slow. that game actually hurt...

LoZ is great, i can play it one handed... incase my hand falls off i have another one spare

[woodlander]

what i probably should have said was that it's a WELL good game!

but alas, i cannot operate the controls all that well. maybe this new generation of kids can master it. and that i'm a dinosaur who is just too old now to learn a new way of control

[eomund]

Well, for those who are interested here is what the Quill Stylus looks like:
It had some nice box art:
