I just got Zelda : Four Swords Adventures

[Kiweki]

And I love it!

The game is very pleasing visually, even though it is basically GBA graphics on the T.V., it has some visual effects thanks to the Gamecube.

Anyway, I have only tried 1 player and 2 player because I don't have 4 people to play with, yet...

The game comes in a Box, with the game case and a linkup cable. On the 1 player mode, you can either use a GC controller or the GBA. It feels right with the GBA. Whenever you enter a house/dungeon, the action moves to the GBA, or a mini GBA if you opt for the GC controller. Controlling the 4 Links is easy, it has a nifty formation feature to quickly line 'em up.

The multi player mode is even better, you have to compete and cooperate. For instance, you have to get these power triangle things to power up your sword, so you fight over it with your friends. But, a lot of puzzles require everybody's help to get anything done.

I have only played it a few hours, and I love it. It utilizes the GBA->GCN hookup feature a lot better than FF:CC in my opinion.

So, yeah, there is my mini review on the game. I suggest all of you get it, it is very fun!

I thought it looked very fun, even though the graphics are basically the same as in The legend of zelda : a link to th past for the SNES.

[Kiweki]

Yeah. I think they did that because it would be too much of a difference if it was high res 3d on the T.V. then pixelated 2d on the GBA. But, some things are enhanced on the gamecube (effects). For instance, you can get a fire wand, and all the fire is rendererd Wind Waker Style. Acutally, whenever you kill an enemy they "poof" in black smoke just like Wind Waker.

[Faulkie]

Cool. Sounds good. Alas, I'd have to play it alone or with my brother... I wish I had friends where I live!

[Kiweki]

I haven't yet played the game with 4 players, but I played and got really far with my friend.

Anyway, I have played 2 player, 1 player, and 3 player, and I have to say that I like 2 player the best.

I dunno, when there is more people, you all yell at eachother and never get anything done.

[Faulkie]

You must first form a bond of friendship young one. Just call me sensei...

[Gotien]

That's over the top....

[Faulkie]

You will pay for your incilence young grasshopper!

[Lee-yoshi]

Back to the topic of 'The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords' please...

[Faulkie]

Heh heh heh. I can never stick to the topic can I? Well Gotien is a bad influence on me!

Anyway, it looks like a good game and I might get it.
