Zelda is getting insane reviews from every single place, as expected.
Excite Truck is getting very mixed reviews, as expected. The bad one is from Game Spot, and the guy says that "the controls are easy to wrap your mind around, but they never feel very responsive", which sounds a bit weird, since I thought the controls were absolutely great. From my experience, IGN seem to "get" the beauty of this game.

The IGN Monkey Ball review was very encouraging, might probably pick that up at launch...
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemranking ... wid=743120So, the question becomes this: When is a game so good that its other achievements outshine even noticeable technical flaws to the point that they are nearly insignificant? The answer is simple: When it reaches Twilight Princess’ level. I don’t believe I have ever played a game that has so seriously amazed me on a regular basis. I find myself regularly dumbstruck by the outright precision with which every facet of Twilight Princess is designed, and yet every time I think I have seen the most amazing thing, the game turns right around and floors me again. The world is vast and expansive, the characters are colorful and emotive, and dungeon designs are a sinister work of art. Some of the boss battles are among the most creative that I have seen in a game. The entire experience is just thoroughly Zelda from start to finish, and it’s the best Zelda you’ll have ever played to date.

God damn, this keeps sounding better and better. But I ask myself if any game can live up to such high expectations. My guess is that TP will pull it offSamus wrote:Zelda is getting insane reviews from every single place, as expected.
