There is a reason I gave Twilight Princess an 8.8

Someone was playing Bully(Bullworth academy) when they made a Nexgenwars account...*points finger*

BINGO! That is what I have been saying on the Nintendo Forums! I waited two years for this game and spend $250 for a Wii to play it and not only does it look like crap on a 50" Plasma TV (WITH THE COMPONET CABLES) but there is NO VOICE ACTING!!! I gave it a 8 out of ten and I think thats more then fair. There is nothing like a Nintendo Fanboy. They will defend their system to matter what Nintendo produces. To them Zelda is the best game of 06. I don't agree... It's number 3 for me.

There is a reason why there is no voice acting and if you ever paid attention to Zelda games there never was and never will be. For the one reason that they refuse to put words in your mouth. Link never says anything, because most of the time your already thinking it, therefor you said it, makes you feel apart of the game as apposed to some guy that plays zelda though a great adventure.

I also dont see how you could call it same old same old, you can now play as a wolf, ride epona and use your sword, the moves have been polished, better graphics, new weapons, and some other stuff too.

I give it a 10 just for being Revolutionary alone, what i hate is the same old 4 button two anilog 2 L 2 R D-pad controllers. Nintendo has done very well with making it diffrent every time. In fact they have aside from the portables which are even now changing , Nintendo has been beating out counsels sense it was born and it will continue to do so.

True dat.. true dat..

No voice acting is bad, IMO. It sucks that i cant use the wii though. I have a 52 in bravia in the main room and my roomate has a 32 in plasma toshiba in his. I wish nintendo wouldve embraced hd.

Hi J, I personally agreed with your score since day one. I found myself in many a heated debates with die hard Nintendo fans who did not agree. The main disappointment I had was the fact that it did not have any voice acting and I also did not like the camera angle system. I gave it a pass on the last gen graphics and the camera because after all it is Zelda but the lack of voice acting was too much. You were right on target.

(Just letting you know, it isn't actually Jeff posting here - just some loser who wants attention.)

What would voice acting add? Seriously, i prefer to imagine how a Goron talks, or how Zelda would sound.

And lets not go into the quality of voice acting in games in general.

For me, the lack of voice acting is one of the stand-out elements of the Zelda games. Does anyone complain when Gordon Freeman doesn't speak in Half-Life/HL2? Fair enough, there is a lot of voice acting in both of those games but Gordon himself is silent for a reason. The decision not to use voice actors in Zelda may not have been an artistic one when it was made, but it stands on artistic merits. Have you ever seen ballet or modern dance? "Omg this play sucks there's no TALKING!"

Pushing the point a bit, sorry, but I feel strongly about the use and abuse of sound in games, be it music, SFX or voice talent...(or lack thereof)
