    I just want to get that out of the way from the beginning of the review.  I hate games where the stylus takes the control focus. I especially hate games where the stylus is your only option for control.  I prefer traditional control schemes because they work so well.  After two decades of home gaming, they’ve simply become natural and comfortable for me.  Being forced into a stylus control scheme makes for an unhappy Skittles.

    Phantom Hourglass, by any other name, would probably be a fantastic game. As a member of the Legend of Zelda family, however, and as a direct sequel to the most awesome Wind Waker, it's.... not so hot. It just does some things that are unforgivable for a franchise that has been around this long. Like forcing players through the phantom dungeon multiple times. That's not fun, period. And while the stylus control--which is what really defines this experience--is unique ... Read more

    When I started on Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass , I was instantly impressed. The cel-shaded look of Wind Waker translates remarkably well onto the DS. The story instantly grabbed me, and the touch screen controls were done so well they quickly became easier than conventional controls. Overall, the presentation of this game is top-notch. The thing that really drew me in, however, was the content. Every section of the game had one thing or another that made me say ... Read more

    This is a wonderful game for kids of all ages - it is all about solving problems in a positive way, helping people and showing loyalty and caring. At the same time you get to work through puzzles, battle crazy monsters that often requires logical thinking to discover their weakness, and solve loads and loads of challenges. There is plenty of reading involved, and the dialogue is structured in a way that makes it fun and funny for all ages without ever becoming inapp... Read more

    Another chapter has been added to the on going Zelda story. Is it all just rehash the same old same old? I didn't think so, Sure it is the same basics all the time . Link has to save the day / Zelda . Which is the theme in this chapter again. But the game play really sets this game apart from all of the other versions before. This go around you use the stylus to do your moving and attacking whi... Read more
