When watching the NGC DVD footage of Master Quest they died in the Deku tree. This may be to create a good point to stop the footage, but they were struggling to climb up a ladder and almost got killed by a gold skultula under a crate and took ages in a room with Ghoma eggs where you can raise the three pillars.
If they are really this bad, can we really trust their reviews, perhaps they get easy versions of the game or other people to do the game for them. I know this sounds stupid but that is what a magazine called Video Gamer did a few years ago.
Don't get me wrong, NGC are still my favourite Nintendo magazine and their reviews have never steered me wrong before. I just found watching it funny. I haven't watched their Wind Waker footage so I don' know what they were like at that.
Did anyone else wonder about their ability when watching the footage, I mean they were almost as bad as my mum was (and that is bad).

I know exactly what you mean about them playing badly at the games. But I think they played like that because they were trying to show us the game itself, rather than how good they are at it (seeing as it's a promotional DVD and all).

They should've had more Animal Crossing though, to convince even more people to import. And I would've really liked to have seen more Ura Zelda footage - outside of the Déku Tree.

Ikaruga looks rock-solid though!!
I have enough trouble completing all the games I've got now... I'm sure I'll never finish this one though, even if there are only 5-levels! :S
