After a whole string of reviews I've read there is only one conclusion- this will be great.
Epic storyline, fantastic soundtrack, great old skool gameplay with new twists, tons of extras- including the saturn original not to mention the best visual experience Xbox has yet delivered. I'll back that up- I've seen footage.
And one more thing- Boss Battles! They're back. According to Gamespot, its one of the best blends between tried and tested gameplay with new technology. I like the sound of that.
Set youy money aside for this one guys.

Give us ONE example.
Oh, and I've reported you ;D.
You haven't seen his hair and clothes move in the wind
You haven't seen the water drip from his tunic after going for a swim
You haven't seen a look of curiosity on his face become an expression of astonishment as he opens a chest
You haven't seen his eyes gaze around the landscape at everything of interest
It's only when playing the game you can appreciate just how well he fits into the game and his surroundings. And one thing's for sure, it's far, far better then generic super hero 2 in generic future suit 5.
As for not playing Zelda, no I haven't, but then why does that exclude me of an opinion on the way it looks ? I've seen Ninties come in here and rip into the likes of DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball and snigger at the likes of Fable - have they played these games ? Nope.
I'm just as entitled to sneer at a game as them so I don't see why I should be singled out with that arguement.
And as for Cyclone's comments on Halo - awww, keep trying mate. ;-) Devoid of atmosphere ::snigger::
;-)

Actually, a lot of effort's been put into making the graphics as good as they are.
> But then again, you like it.
Yes, I do! My mates and I play system link Halo every week and boy it's worth it. It beats multiplayer Goldeneye- a bold statement- but its true.
Thats why I love Metal Gear Solid, half of the PC games I've ever played, and Splinter Cell on XBox?
Ah well.
Halo, in my opinion, is dull. No question. Too slow, sluggish, and the action is devoid of any atmosphere.
But then again, you like it.
So.
Whatever mate. You probably wouldn't appriciate anything other than what appears on a GC unless it gave you a good slapping.
So.
I could go on about how Halo is patheticly boring, but I won't.
:D
