The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was fun to play. Especially on the Nintendo Wii.

It's a traditionnal Zelda game which you collect items in dungeons, but since it's playable on the wii, the Wiimote (and the 3d puzzles) gives a twist to the game. The controls on the Wii are easy to master. Only one move was hard for me to make, and the horse-riding was sometimes hard to do, but overall, it's easy to play with the auto-targeting.

Most of the puzzle are easy to solve with some thinking and most monsters could easily be defeated. Two exception to this rules: Bosses and Dark Knights.

Bosses are easy to defeat once you find their weak spot, but it can sometimes be tricky to find this weak spot. Dark knights are the other exception, as while you can easily kill one, they will block every attack, and find every opening to attack... They are especially troublesome in the Cave of Ordeals because they are never alone. I managed to get to the very last part of the Cave, only to die at the hand of 3 Dark knights.

So, a very good game with some frustrations, and little replay value. But a worthy investment for the initial 60 hours of fun it took me to finish the game.
