Got me copy of issue 77 through the post today...yes, the one with the review of Zelda: The Wind Waker in it!
So, for those of you who don't want to find out what it got yet, close this window now!
It got...
96%
Haven't had a chance to read the review just yet, but from the glimpses I've had, the NGC lads have got plenty of criticisms for it! The main one seems to be that it's only 40+ hours long due to the fact that Ninty have dragged it out a bit with all this sailing back and forth. :/
Still, I'll let you lot see for yourself.
Oh yeah, and is it just me, or does that score for 'Behead the Undead' for TS2 seem a bit low? Mine's over double that!
And the review was pretty crappy really, because they are so scared of giving away in game details.
That never stopped them before.
And my copy was all broken, with off coloured pages and a ripped spine.
And the free gift was just utter tosh. ANOTHER booklet. Great, just what I want.
> 96% is an OUTSTANDING score for a game, based on NGC's previous stand*a*rds anyway.
Little corrections there.
I am so annoying.
I agree though.
Oh dear, its not 98%, only 96. Damn, what a bad game.

Ho ho, its nice to see i wasnt the only one. I thought it was because i complained.
As for the free gift, don't get me started. They've been harping on about the 'best gift ever', and most of the time they've been unmitigated rubbish - either make promises and stick to them, or don't make them at all.
Although that Metroid Weekend Breaks poster thing was quite funny, what with the quotes and all.
All those shots of Ura Zelda made me want to play OOT all over again.
And this issue doesn't come out until friday.
