Zelda Phantom Hourglass - DS Game (Retro Fam)

I love zelda games, and at first going into this one, it looked a bit on the childish side. I was wrong about that. It's one of those games that kids can enjoy but also extremely entertaining for adults as well. Even though it was on a handheld gaming device, I still put in 30+ hours to beat it.

This game is a really nice addition to the Zelda collection. Technically, it implements the DS touchpad as it should be. It's a bit hard to get used to at first, but when you get used to it, it becomes easier. The rest of the features and buttons are also used in a very subtle yet well-done way. In short, it takes advantage of what the DS itself has to offer and it's really only a few games do this to this extent.As for gameplay, it's a very interesting and good continuation to the Windwaker. It's just the right length for a game meant to be portable and is also fun and entertaining. It brings back memories of older games if you have played them and at the same time it's new. Some characters are a bit ugly at times, but it's all forgiven as you play.The game also includes a very good multiplayer option. It gives you many different options to connect. DS-DS, with friends, over WiFi, etc. and then you also get to choose if you want to play with rivals, friends, or just about anyone. As you play you get scores and you can even get small rewards that appear in-game. It works beautifully and is also very stable.If you like the Zelda series and adventure games, this would be something worth trying out.
