Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

Zelda is out very soon for the Gamecube, but I have not a single review yet.

I want to know how it compares to the Wii version.

Has anyone any info on the Cube version.

Re: Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

From what ive heard its exactly the same minus widescreen support and the controller funcionality which is all part of the praise its getting. Saying that they have said how great a story led game it is of around 60 hours gameplay so im sure its still top of any gamecube list

Re: Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

Is it just me that feels they're holding back the reviewers of the Gamecube version in fear that it gets the same or almost the same score as the Wii version & so taking a bit of wind from the Wiis killer app sails?

Re: Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

I have just been looking for these as well, as I am not getting a Wii for a few months, but want the new Zelda game!

Not even a review on Gamerankings!

Re: Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

Well I currently have this on pre-order for the GC and have also been concerned by the lack of reviews. I may just have to cancel and go for the Wii version. The only thing I was concerned about was the control of Zelda on the Wii, I think I'd prefer traditional control on this one.

Well Famitsu reviewed the GC version and gave it 38/40. The same as the Wii version, So I wouldn't be too concerned guys

Apparently one reviewer liked the GC version with one prefering the Wii, I have a feeling it will be down to how you feel about the control system I'm getting my boys the GC version as I'll wait a while to see what the overall concensus is regards the Wii, that and prices should drop pretty quickly knowing ninty.

me too, the NTSC GC one that is, I've had it pre-ordered & paid for since july! Here's a little taster for Zelda cubeys. P.S I must admit I'd rather have the traditional left handed Link & the GC controls. btw I've deliberately not checked up on the videos for this game so I'm not sure how old this is, but it does look good!

Re: Zelda - Where are the reviews ??

just had a blast on the JPN version - looks very nice.

widescreen, too (i thought it wasn't going to be?)

i'll need to get a US version though, as i can't read japanese

Eh!?!?! You sure about that? or was the picture just stretched to fit the 16:9 screen?

Man I hope you're right and it's the same in the PAL version.
