One of Link's greatest adventures.
No one could forget the screams of joy when Twilight Princess was announced at E3. The fans could not believe that their beloved Zelda series was starting to get better. As a Zelda game, Twilight Princess pretty much has it all. A great story, superb graphics, and of course, the lovable characters from the Zelda franchise. Add all of that up with excellent gameplay, and you've got your self one heck of a game. What more could you ask for?
The story is similar to that of previous Zelda titles. Travel around the land of Hyrule, defeat all of the temple bosses, defeat Ganondorf, and rescue the princess. Your new partner, Midna, also plays a significant role in the game. There's also a new villain: Zant. As you progress through the game, you will notice the story get deeper and deeper until the end. Another positive is that Midna isn't as annoying as Navi or the King of Red Lions. Instead of repeatedly saying "Hey" or "Hurry", Midna simply tells you what to do without making you feel like punching her in the face.
The gameplay has changed somewhat from Wind Waker's. There's no sailing or "wind waking" involved. Instead, you get to play as the new Wolf Link (Okami, anyone?). When you reach an area covered in Twilight, you must turn into your newly-acquired Wolf Form. Outside of Twilight though, you must defeat enemies and conquer temples in your human form. To attack, you simply swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuck in your hand, though sometimes controls can be unresponsive or Link can attack when you don't want him to. Twilight Princess also introduces Horseback Sword Combat, which no other Zelda game has done. Of course, once you acquire the Warping ability, you probably will find yourself saying bye-bye to your trusty steed, Epona. The difficulty, in certain aspects of the game, is not as hard as Ocarina of Time. Heck, some are so easy that all you have to do is keep swinging the Wiimote. But who said difficulty makes a game special, eh?
Surprisingly enough, the graphics engine is the same exact engine used on Wind Waker, with a few polishes. On the Wii, the graphics are nothing the Wii can't handle. The games graphics were meant to bring out as much graphical power possible from the Gamecube. The Wii version is also a mirrored version of the Gamecube one, with Link's sword being in his right hand instead of his left. Though the graphics look pretty, there are a few rugged textures here and there, but most of the graphics are clear and impressive. The expressions on Link's faces don't look painted on at all, either.
If you're a Wii or Gamecube owner desperate for a good game that will last you a long time, then look no further than Twilight Princess. It's probably the best Gamecube game out there, and one of the best Wii games, too. You definitely don't want to miss out on this masterpiece.

Awesome
One of the best games I have ever played. I don't own an xbox or ps, just a Wii so I would have no idea about Halo or any other games like those. Even though I am a cheater, it's still fun to play.

Awesome, but could be better....
This game is really awesome. Everything is fun and cool but I had one or two problems with the game. First is that some parts are soo hard you want to give up. I had to buy the Prima guide just to get through the game it was so confusing. Unless you have an awesome IQ, you will be on Game Guides a lot. Aside from the super confusing places this game rocks. If you don't mind a hard brain teaser 5+ times then this game is for you. And if you own a Wii this is the best (or one of the best) games to have for it.
