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.
Forget it. :-)
