Apparently Famitsu have given the latest Zelda game for the Gamecube (Zelda: The wind Waker) a perfect score 40 / 40 , making it only the fourth game to recieve the maximum score (the others being Soul Calibur 2, Zelda: OoT and vagrant story).

*********************************************

Grade: 10

"A level of astoundment that exceeds even that exhibited by the previous "Ocarina". Despite being a completely new and ground-breaking work, it's amazing how this title managed to retain everything that defines 'Zelda' to begin with. If you're looking for a new plane of visual expression in games, one different from both photorealistic and anime styles, it can be found right here. Also features a unprecedented depth of story and adventure within the series that takes place across an ocean. To sum up: this title is 100% zelda, and is an absolutely must-play title."

Grade: 10
"Utilizing tone rendering as a catalyst of visual expression of sorts and combining it with the highest quality gameplay, game environments and production values, a a miraculous chemical reaction is created with this incredible title. It makes you realize once again that video games truly are the most superior form of entertainment out there. Whatever you do in within the game, it doesn't fail to entertain you in some way. Trust me when I say you won't fail to fall in the love with the world presented within this title."

Grade: 10
"Any pangs of anxiety you might have in regards to the anime-like presentation of this game will vanish once you play this title, which will leave no doubts in your mind that this is truly Zelda. The emotions of the various characters come across with an unbelievable level of realism due through eye-based movements/expressions, and there are times when you'll find yourself extremely affected and even on the verge of tears. With a perfect level of difficulty in regards to both the puzzles and battles, this title rewards you immensely for playing it!"

Grade: 10
"Whether it be the in-game events, puzzles, or presentation, you'll find yourself experiencing a range of human emotions from puzzlement to amazement. Everytime you pick up this title to proceed onwards in your quest, you'll discover an increased level of excitement. I swear to god I felt like a excited child picking up a videogame for the first time when I played this title. The new setup that allows even those who have never experienced the series to immediately feel right at home gets a huge thumbs up from me."

I don't know about anyone else but this game looks like it's shaping up to live up to it's name. I'm damn happy to hear such good things about it considering the flak it's been recieving for it's choice of graphical design, it's been a long time since I've *really* looked forward to a game but this one really has my attention

Now if you'll excuse me... *head explodes*

Reminds me a lot of the Metroid crying earlier, and yet EGM gave *it* perfect 10s as well. As always, the proof is in the game, not the hype (beit positive or negative hype).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out how I can contain myself until February...

[nesman85]

actually you'll have to contain yourself until march, they pushed the date back a month.

Gowd, JUST GIMMIE THE DAMN GAME ALEADY!!!! *drools* ugh..

I'm thinking I might get sick some in march.

@NE146: Considering your avatar, I hope that it's drool drops I see, and not something else... :P

What score Zelda: Masks of Majora?

[nesman85]

it should have gotten a near perfect score, if not a perfect one. that game is great. its one of my favorites.

[Six Switch]

Wow,looks good.Even though I don't like the style of the game too much,it is OK,I will still play it.If it ever gets here that is. x_x

[Sylentwulf]

Well, after seeing what the other games they gave perfect scores are, maybe they're trying to NOT promote the game. (With the exception of soul calibur 2)

Very true, in fact sadly I must admit I was one of those who was a tad sceptical about the direction that metroid was taking... I was so very wrong *hangs head in shame*

Actually, the critisism of Zelda's new look reminds me of the critisism aimed at Zelda 3 (A Link to the Past) for the SNES leading upto and during it's release. A lot of people and publications were condemning it as being too cute and claiming that because of such, it wouldn't measure up as a very good game...

Regardless, that game it is now considered by many to be one of the greatest games ever made (and my personal favorite )

To be honest I don't know if this new Zelda will prove to be another case of history repeating itself, but it sounds as if it's going to be damn good...

actually you'll have to contain yourself until march, they pushed the date back a month.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to choose a good room corner to curl up in, and rock back and forth anxiously for several months.

I don't think I'm allowed to comment anymore or I'll get run out of town, heh.
