Nice review. ^_^ I have the game for Wii, its a completely different game. Its really sweet on it. Try it some time.
Sands of Time isn't available on Wii but Two Thrones (I think its Two Thrones?) is. Certainly one of the slightly more "hack'n'slash" sequels then this actual classic, though the Wii controls are interesting. Good review though ^^
To be honest I didnt think I would like this game. I wasnt interested in the least but then I saw gameplay for PoP: Warrior Within. And so I went out to my local gamestop and bought the first one so I wouldnt be lost in the story and I fell in love with it the moment I started playing it. The story is amazing and the gameplay is pretty flawless. The fighting system is better in the second and third games but for the first try they did a pretty good job. The time powers you get are amazing not to mention the running on walls. Ive played the game tons of times and I have to say its probably one of the greatest trilogy Ive ever gotten the chance to play. Definently a must have.
Problem being you can't say graphics are an 8 anymore, since it'll need to be judged by modern standards not the standard of when the game came out, so by today's standards it's like...a 1. The problem, and I maintain this, with classic games is due to the lack of power of the consoles they are on the whole far less developed/exciting as current games and lack the customizing or simply more advanced physics you get now. Of course this is to be expected, and I'll still happily play through a game such as Zelda ; OoT. However, PS2 games (Aside from perhaps, FF) can't hold nearly the attention they can now, that is if you've been fully immersed in next-gen gaming.
Looks like a pretty sick game man! I might buy it now, really nice article though mate. Good work and keep it up!
