This thread has been linked to the game 'Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy'.
Well i've been longing for a great Platform adventure since Wind Waker! Beyond Good and Evil and Prince Of Persia are the only two so far that have stopped my adventure cravings! but i wanted something well near ideantical to Zelda, i thought i wasn't going to find any game to match the experience of the Wind Waker! Until now...
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy might look to you as an average Platform game but you'll be amazed to hear that in my opinion IT'S BETTER THEN ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER in many aspects. However it doesn't come close to the likes of Ocarina of time i must add.
Firstly the game is HUGE, what's the point of it being an adventure if your out at 9:00am and home at 4:00pm? There's not one is there? An Adventure should last around the 20-25 hours, and i'm pleased to say Sphinx is looking that way. 1

I suppose you bought it on import then? I thought since they are already showing adverts for it it would be out already, but why show adverts when it's not out til the 20th of Febs? Also I hope they don't include the music that they have on the ad coz that is really annoying. But I will try to get my hopes up about it being better than Wind Waker, but Ocarina was even better than that so I don't expect anything to be as good as that.

say Sphinx is looking that way. 1 hour into the game and i only found the sword i needed to fight let alone the other weapons needed. 4 hours in and i'm no-where near the end!
The Graphics are superb, and i mean superb. Everything looks lovely and that's throughout the game.
There are loads of mini-games to do what will keep you busy, like training courses, target practice, collecting stuff for the towns museum (town looks excellent)
The puzzles are well thought out and flow nicley.
The controls are extremley simple and effective. It's Zelda through and through but for some reason just beats it! I can't explain why! Just buy the game when it's released 20th Feb and you will see why! Overall i wouldn't hesitate to give this game 9/10 for everything! :D
PS SORRY ABOUT THE FIRST POST BEING CUT-OFF, COMPUTER PROCESSED IT BEFORE I HAD FINISHED. :)
