Zelda the phantom hourglass

I just realized... ZELDA: THE PHANTOM HOURGLASS COMES OUT TODAY!!!!

Looks pretty awesome, too bad I have no DS.

Opps, not today, tommaro. Sorry.

Looks... terrible, not uncommon for DS games.

:O The only zelda game I have is the four swords on a gameboy that I never play....To bad I cant get one of the newer zelda games..

Nice game. Nice use of the touch screen, AND it's Zelda! WTB Zelda Phantom Hourglass!

Looks good. . . If it was on a 1280*1024 screen with AA and AF on max.

But from the TV it looks terriably jagidy and unsmooth, although the use of the touchpad seems good. Unlike PSP which has a high enough resolution screen for you to not really notice unsmooth edges, the DS seems to suffer from that badly, as I have seen on TV and experienced with DS emulation when all graphic enhancements are off like with the DS.

The DS's graphics are good for cartoon like things, 3d stage environments and emulations (that stupid dog game), but as soon as you get to overhead stages like from what i could see, that zelda game and FF3, the walls really look bad and the textures look messedup when displayed over a short distance.

It probably is me just being fussy, but I do not think that 3D in the case of that zelda game was the best thing for the DS, although it shows what it can do in both positive and negitave ways.

I will play it as soon as DS hinge emulation comes, but then it will look better than on the DS definatly due to I am certian the DS does not use 8*AA and 16*AF when rendering.

Well sorry for this graphic rant, but it is the most doticable thing I saw from the adverts ect.

I am sure it will be a great game non the less, and people say emulators run it near perfectly but for hinge problems.

Dude, you would've been a great Games reporter

If I actually owned the things I wrote about LOL.

I will try it out as soon as better emulators come thoe.

Phantom Hourglass is a great game, the boss battles actually need you to think a little bit, which I think is great. But all Zelda games have semi complicated boss battles, so it's just the game nature really. The ship is customizable, which is a nice little feature, riding around shooting stuff with your ships cannon on the customized ship...good stuff. And using the touch screen might seem annoying but you get uesd to it, and I think it's a great way to play the game
I would give it a 8.5 outta 10, a must buy
And AND there is WiFi multiplayer, and having bought the WiFi adapter, it is being used to the fullest
Definetely a must buy guys

YYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
I will buy it!
I have loved all Zelda games from Link to the past and up!!!! ( I have beaten all of them)

I hope it takes a long time to beat - longer than Twilight anyway... I beat that in under a week.

enulators have the best setup thoe.
You can use your left hand to run all the buttons in a small area while accuratly using your right to move the mouse which in return acts as the styrus on the lower screen so if your brain can handle whats going on (both using the mouse and the keyboard at the same time while evading / doing stuff) you should be able to outpreform a actual DS as far as action capability.

Hmm interesting idea
I'm content with my DS though ^_^

bah, DS emus run ridiculously slow on my computer.

Inorder to run DS emulation ok you need eithor a highish end dual/quad core or a high range NON HT single core. That is until they fix it so that it threads, also they are getting faster.

now stay ontopic
