When I got the game on the big Christmas Day I couldn't wait to play it after the next 2 days (the 27th) because I was up with my relatives who live about 70 miles away down south.

Finally when I came home I stuck the game into the machine, and only just realisd I could use my newest controller the Wavebird to test the game. I was so releaved when I usually pull back on the controller not for thr gamecube to follow it with me.

Crystal's part was beautifully stunning near the end when she was captured by General Scales in a Zelda-esque capture crystal used in OoT.

After that was done I went through the Lylat wars type of space shoot-em-up that I felt right at home in. Was quite asy as it was the first level. Then when I landed on the planet the grapics were amazing like the last lot, after some exploring on my part I eventually found the staff, seeming as though I didn't have any enemies to try it on I had to wait until I went through the game to find the first one.

After getting my first add-on for the staff the fire blaster I found my first enemy, I tried out all the different styles of fighting and found what I liked the best, the spinning baton attack which is holding the control stick downwards while rapidly pressing the A button.

It wasn't too hard since it was only two enemis to battle against.

So far that is all I have gotten up to yet, can't wait to get the Prince Tricky.

I like it because it reminds me of Zelda, and that I absolutely like Zelda.

How can youy say it's fantastic? The storyline is utter tosh, the characters are loathsome, the combat is poor, the puzzles are simple and repetetive, and the constant backtracking is tiresome and tedious. It doe look good, but so does Fifa 2002.

The only thing that I have a problem with a the moment is the stupid voice of that Bazaar (shopkeeper) in the store. Very unnerving.
I have already gotten up to the Darkice mines now, quite fantastic, I don't care for gerrid's game critic comments.

The constant backtracking the crappy battle system the simple yet ninsensicle puzzles the tedious flying sections, the terribly ennuous cutscenes...

Prince Tricky is a nonce, and he ruins the entire game. WEll, him and a few other problems.
When I say few, I mean lots.

tricky isn't too far ahead. you have to save his mum, leader of the dinos in Thorntail Hollow. Just given her these special mushrooms.
It's a good game, and doesn't deserve all the bad press it's got.
