OUT: November 18th (Wii)
VERSION TESTED: Wii
IMPRESSIONS: Is it just me, or has the Zelda franchise really been struggling to stay fresh in recent years? Skyward Sword appears to the address this to an extent, mixing in loads of interesting uses for the frequently overlooked Wii MotionPlus, archery, swordfighting and free-falling included. Little was revealed of the story, but I played a part of a dungeon, and it seems the puzzles have stepped up a notch in terms of testing your creativity too. My problem with the series still remains: there's barely anything here you haven't seen before in some form. If Miyamoto and pals have managed to keep things interesting for the 50-100 hour duration of Skyward Sword, though, then perhaps the tide can turn for Zelda...
EXCITEMENT RATING: 4/5
