Gaming doesn't get much better than this!

If you have ever played a Zelda game from Nintendo, you know that the franchise is known for fantastic story-telling and a superior adventure/puzzle experience. “The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess,” to me, is the crown jewel of the Zelda catalog to date. I have been playing Zelda games since my youth, and have purchased many game systems just to play Zelda. “Twilight Princess” on the Wii has everything you could ever ask for in a Zelda game and more.

Storyline: “Twilight Princess” contains many of the hallmarks of Zelda lore. Set in and around Hyrule, fans of Zelda games will find plenty of locations and scenes reminiscent of past games. However, the story also contains a unique twist where you play as both a wolf and Link. I don’t want to divulge any of the main plot line, but suffice it to say that few video games tell such a tight and gripping story.

Controls: Because it is one of the first games released on the Wii, it was important to Nintendo that “Twilight Princess” had controls that made the game more interactive. On this count, they certainly did not disappoint. I think the swordplay and aiming mechanisms (for items such as the bow and hook shot) and magnificently integrated. In fact, I can’t imagine playing the game on a regular controller (like a PS2 or Xbox controller).

Graphics: While the Wii does not possess the graphical horsepower of other next-gen consoles, if you have an HDTV, “Twilight Princess” in 480P is still very impressive.

In summary, buy this game as it will long be a standard for the power and potential of the Wii!
