This thread has been linked to the game 'The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'.
Do you own this game? And if not why not?
Prince of Persia 2, the sequel to one of the finest games of 2004, lies unfinished... Metroid Prime 2, unplayed. And why? Zelda, that's why.
This game is unbelievable. I have been playing most of it in single mode and it is fun. For a Zelda title it is refreshingly linear, that's right "refreshing". Classic Zelda puzzles and abilities are mixed with four way puzzles. It can be simple to start off with but everything is like a Zelda puzzle, and an utterly fantastic one!
This is not a proper edition to the Zelda franchise and the storyline is rather dodgy. But it is an excellent game, so far at least, and as I played through the game I spotted the benefits of playing with more than one player.
So I grabbed my GBA, 2 link leads (I have 3 floating around) and cycled over to my friends house for a bit of 2 player fun. And I didn't think the game could get any better.
I was glad to be wrong. Shame multiplayer isn't all that accessible, my 10 year old brother still isn't all that at playing games yet.
Anyway this game is REALLY REALLY good and I hope you all have it or at least plan to. It is fine in single player, mighty fine, a decent game in fact unlike Crystal Chronicles so there is no excuse.
Buy Buy Buy.

It's irrelevant, the classic Zelda gameplay has me addicted and playing Metroid Prime is last on my mind,

Maybe if I had a list of games to this, MAYBE this would appear on it! :-)

It isn't really, the entire point of four swords is the concept of playing as 2 characters.
The game is REALLY playable and REALLY fun with just the one. I've read reviews and they all agree, look at the Cube-Europe review.
Multiplayer is leaps better and makes the game fantastic, just like Crystal Chronicles.
But unlike Crystal Chronicles the game is just as fun by yourself.

I won Gameaday on the 10th January and I've claimed Four Swords. I should have enough link leads to play four player...
Now if they'll hurry up and update it...

I've read the review and it looks like Smash Brothers - yes, the single player is fine the first couple of times you play it.
And then after that... :-)
Maybe my brothers will end up getting DS's and maybe then, along with Crystal Chronicals. Until then, this game is a miss. :-)

Then don't play the multiplayer!
Do you normally buy a Zelda game for multiplayer!
