Zelda: the phantom hourglass

[Agravain3]

StoryLineits a sequal to the legend of zelda windwaker, the story is pretty much the same as all zelda story's, you are chosen to be her so u get a sword set out to rescue the pirate princess. ts great. evryhtiing you hated in windwaker is pretty much gone. instead of sailing you draw your ships path beofre time and your ship will carry you there. also this game is so big for a handheld. you can colect a ton of items , wich wassnt always there in past hand held zeldas. also you can costomize your ship ,ad there plenty of secret lil side quest you can do...makign this game a good 40hours of playtime.

Graphicsit is a ds game, with that being said i say its one of the better ds game graphics use...it pushes the graphic card to the edge, with realistic cell shaded 3d good ness. i would have to say its on peak of the ds's ability.

Presentationthe presentation is great. the way the game is set upis so good that people who have grown up with link, and people who never even heard of a nes can pick it up and with in 5 minutes know what there doing and where ther going. ninttendo did a great job as always

controlsthis game is prolboly the best game for the ds's touch pad to date. evryhting from walking, sword swining, and saling your ship is all done from the touch pad. the only time you press a button in this game is to pause and turnoff your ds. ive played quite a few ds games and ive never seen any ds game do what this one has.

Soundwe all know zelda has never been a series where sound has disapointed...as a matter of fact evrytime i enter a forest i here the karoki village melody on my ears this game is pretty good with sound, it mixes clasic zelda songs and gives it a pirate theme. and the sound affects are good, you can hear the patter fo your elather boots on the dungeon floor, to the splash of the ocean, all the way to the yelps and battle cries of link as if you were there.

replaywell there really is no dificulty seting on here, so iwould say the replay value is pretty low...i mean if yve beaten it once then youve beaten it 100 times. but the zelda series never was one for replayability.

Multiplayerits pretty cool actualy, the game suports wifi. no singleicard share though...sorry moochers gunna have to buy your own copy, but seriosuly the wifi is actualy pretty fun, the host plays as link while the other players play as phantom guards...and the goal is to catch and kill link before he can colect all 3 tri force peices and get across the map and place them in the "safe zone" its pretty fun ecspecialy if your hosting...playing as link is a bit more fun

If you are having a hard time getting an edit post to work right, it may be the same problem I have all the time with that (and also quick posts). The key is to hit edit and then go into advanced settings, so that it takes you to a new page as it posts instead of editing the one you are on. It just seems to work better, I don't know why.
