Review of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Looks like Zelda got a 10 rating on CVG and pretty much no bad points! Amazing...

Summed up

"The single greatest reason to own a DS, Phantom Hourglass is everything we've come to love about Zelda games wrapped up in a shiny new package. Genius and brilliant fun from start to finish."

Review Snippet

Controlling Link with the stylus is like riding a bike without holding the handlebars: you know it can be done, but at first you might worry that it's just a stupid thing to do. It's not. Stylus control of Link is a very cool thing. Say sayonara to the d-pad, then, and embrace the technology that makes Phantom Hourglass the most enjoyable Zelda game since Ocarina of Time.

As in that '98 classic, Link is accompanied by a fairy (and later on in Phantom Hourglass, fairies) on his quest. There's no better cursor than a cute little ball of spirit dust, so quite understandably Nintendo has opted to appoint Sierra, Link's whiter-than-white fairy companion, as the conduit through which you control Link's basic actions: drag Sierra around the screen and Link will follow, walking/running/rolling in sync with the accentuations of your stylus movements. Trust us - within 30 minutes it becomes so natural that you'll wonder how you ever completed Link's Awakening and Link to the Past, with their quaint d-pad control systems.

Go read the entire thing and salivate thinking about the October release date...
