I know It's not a WiiU game, but I've been a Zelda fan my whole life. I did not care for Twilight Princess, its actually my least favorite Zelda game. So since it's been out for quite a while, I figured I'll get some honest opinions.

This should be in General Gaming, but it's amazing

It's amazing, despite all the bad press it's gotten post-launch, you can't afford to miss it. One of my favorite games ever, and I've been playing a lot of amazing games recently.

Skyward Sword is a very flawed game, however if you look at it, forgetting that it's a Zelda game, it's fun enough to play through.

I honestly don't understand the hate for this game. I absolutely loved the experience. The atmosphere, motion control gameplay and especially the music really made me fall in love with this game.

I'll probably pick it up when I can get it for really cheap. Just how I am. :P

What exactly is flawed about the game?

I my opinion it is the best Zelda game, and I have played them all except the phantom hourglass. The gameplay and story and art style... I love everything about it. I can't think of anything I dislike about it.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I have never played a Zelda game until Skyward Sword. I thought it was pretty good, maybe 85/100. Best use of motion controls of any game by far. Only bad part I can think of that really bugged me was returning to old area's a lot. Wasn't too bad, but it did get a little repetitive.

The controls (at least for me they were. I've seen them work in other cases, but not in a lot of them), the over world was too small and required too much backtracking, the temples were really easy, and it just didn't feel like a Zelda game to me. It wasn't bad... Just not great.

Zelda: Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game. It's a fresh take on everything and is more advanced. But just because something is my favorite doesn't mean it will be good for everyone...

The game doesn't feel like the same quality as other Zelda games. The motion controls could be better. The puzzles sometimes make you yawn. The story gets dumb.

I was really craving a good Zelda, and I think I finally found it. One even better than this. It's called The Last Story, which I played right after it. Oh wait...

Absolute trash... the controls are unresponsive and make the game virtually unplayable (attempted to play with 4 different wii motion + controllers) and then the art style choice is absolutely disgusting... Link shouldnt look like a flamer

Your controllers just suck then ^

The motion controls were very good and the overall experience for me was awesome. I am not a total zelda fan like people who posted on here but i think it was a pretty good zelda game even though i've played only about 3-4 different zelda games and never really finished them. I felt so accomplished after beating the *spoiler alert...i guess?* Boss battle mode on hero mode. *puts on black sunglasses* ;)

I would agree with you if I only tried it with 1 or maybeeee 2 controllers... but since I used 4, and one of them being the zelda wiimote that came with the game and it was still horribly unresponsive; I blame the awful game

Hmm compared to twilight prince (which i didnt really play but i watched my brother play through the whole thing...lol) it has an extremely small overworld which was dissappointing since it is a zelda game but in terms of music and gameplay i think it was better although i did have moments where the controller didnt want to get the down to up motion right probably cause i didnt lay it on a flat surface but im not sure but i would also like to mention the colorful look compared to TP's dull but detailed look, the visuals were quite nice i dont get what everybody is complaining about.

Hmm did you lay it on an actual flat surface like a table or did you lay it on an unleveled surface? The black Wii Motion plus that i have got the job done but i did have some problems with the down to up motion sometimes but it was fixed easily by laying it on a flat surface and resetting the controller. Nice signature btw, i got some laughs out of that.
