Posted on Jan 03, 2012 under Wii | No Comment

In the end Nintendo Wii, hadirlah a game that truly gives life to the console is. The game is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword which tells the story of the origins of The Legend of Zelda.

Link tells the story of living in the clouds called Skyloft, Link and Zelda childhood friend dragged fate that brought them to the state under the sky. To search for Zelda to fall into surface world, accompanied by the fee Link, the sword spirit. Begin the adventure of Link from Knight wannabe a True Hero, a story prequel such a long once the opening of the story of The Legend of Zelda in 25 anniversary.

First of all we undertake, Skyward Sword will ask us to install the Wii Motion Plus. Without the Wii Motion Plus, this game refuses to move from screen complaints “Install Wii Motion Plus” is. Yes, Skyward Sword must be played using motion control with an additional mandatory Wii Motion Plus. Actually, motion control is suitable for play swords carried by the Link, but not just that purpose. In addition to swinging a sword, with the Wiimote and Nunchuk we also do roll, do Skyward Strike, operating Loftwing, direct Catapult, and so on.

Visually, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is not an HD game and tend to look cartoony. But this type is suitable for Skyward Sword, Zelda can be seen from the very cute. In addition there are other characters deck with a variety of strange creatures of the Earth to explore the link.

Environment- his own ample, varied, and beautiful, from the Faron Woods, green, Lanayru Desert the yellow, until Eldin Volcano is red. Almost all the objects in its Environment is no value of interactivity, ranging from mushrooms that we can jab, cut bamboo, and various small plants that we can cut into pieces to find rupees or hearts.

There is no voice acting, but they use the language of “other” as his successor, though not all voiced. But the most satisfying of the Skyward Sword is a soundtrack that unusual. We will hear various orchestral tunes, music that call when opponents attack and relaxing music while being adventurous.

The battle against the enemy at Skyward Sword is not just hack and slash stark. For those who were doing hack and slash will find it difficult to defeat the enemy. Each has a common enemy against his own patterns, such as Deku Baba needs to slash specific, should be reflected back Octorok shot using the shield (which can be destroyed too much of kalo is used to hold), and Bokoblin we can fend off the attack until we are attacked by tactical .

Link himself has a new membership seems to be taught a little by the Master Assassin. This time Link can climb a wall that is not so high, jumping over various gaps that are not too wide, and dangling and running, in which all were limited by stamina point. Even if we let fall into the gap, we will respawn in the same place (or saved by Knight in Skyloft).

With the additional skill’s Link, also become smarter enemies, where they can hide, escape, chasing links, even stepping on Link’s hand when they saw Link was hanging on the edge of the cliff. In fact they were willing to climb a rope running to catch Link across the gap, the funny thing is we can shoot with the Catapult and make them even fall into the gap.

If there are some constraints on the handling of characters using motion control itself. It fights with motion control asik enough, but we do not have control cameras, only you can reset the camera to the middle and late position or improve first-person view only, sometimes a little annoying camera in certain places. Imagine, we want to reset the position of Link, but the camera and even a lock-on to the nearest NPC.

In addition, the use of motion control to fly at once Loftwing be rather difficult to handle him. In theory, we have wings Loftwing the Wiimote, but when our wings to shake Wiimote, I’m sure the flight to be a mess. It may even be good if the operation using the analog in the Nunchuck from the direct Wiimote.

Finally, Nintendo was bold enough to draw any substantial changes in Zelda, but keep in mind, not everyone likes to use full motion control. Although haunted by the problem of motion control, but this latest adventure of Link remain attractive both in terms of gameplay, story and puzzles.
