Worth £20 brand-new?

Those of you that have it, how long does it take to complete... and is it any good?

Damn your lanky and fast-flexing fingers!

Anyway, yes, a good buy for £20, no doubts. If you only play it through once don't expect any more than 8 hours of gameplay, but I'd say its worth the cash indeed.

Hey Chipseh. Yeh, definately worth the buy.

If you want to get everything, and there's quite a few extras to complete it all, you're looking at more like 12+ hours. Cracking little title. Buy it and we may get the sequel it deserves.

:-)

I had a £20 HMV voucher lying around so I picked it up.
Not finished it so far but pretty good.

I'd say it lacks where Windwaker shone and shines where Windwaker lacked.
So far, this means I think I like it better overall, which probably goes to show what's more important for this type of game...

Finished it. It was fairly good, great in some ways, not so great in others.

A bit too short and the "dungeon/mission" levels weren't the best I've played, but everything else about the game was great.
The characters, the music and all of Hyllis.

Hyllis was an example of what Windwakers land SHOULD'VE been like.
There was actually less there than in Windwaker but it wasn't so split up by oceans so it didn't feel so sparse. :-)

But yeah.
Christmas voucher well spent (although I might've liked Viewtiful Joe better...)

Brilliant :D

I've got it on the PS2 and it's a class game :D

Wind Waker vs MGS :D

Not as deep in terms of gameplay as genre specific games. but a good mix of genres and a good storyline to boot :D

I do hope that you did, in the end, buy this game, Microchips...

Unless you haven't already got Viewtiful Joe, you'll be lucky to find £20-worth on a game better-spent.
