| Graphics:
4/5 |
|
| While
virtually identical to Ocarina of Time and hardly impressive next
to PS2 and Dreamcast, this game does contain some stunning imagery
from time to time. A note to parents though: some of the scenes
and monsters in this game might be a little disturbing to very
young children. Even I get a little uncomfortable watching Link
scream in pain as he transforms into another form. |
| Music:
5/5 |
|
| The
classic Zelda themes return! You'll find classic Zelda tunes
scattered around the game. The new music is effective and not as
MIDI-like as Ocarina of Time's music. The Song of Healing that is
played during several of the cinema scenes is particularly
haunting. |
| Sound
FX: 5/5 |
|
| The
game supports Dolby Surround, and while it isn't used very
aggressively, it's a nice touch. Some of the voice sounds (note
there is no dialog, only voice-like sounds) can be creepy, but
they fit well. |
| Play
Control: 7/10 |
|
| The
control is identical to that of Ocarina of Time. The problem with
that is
that the situations in Majora's Mask require precise actions that
are still a bit beyond this control scheme. I've had control
slip-ups force me to repeat things for up to ten minutes at a
time. |
| Frustration
Factor: 7/10 (10 being the worst) |
|
| This
game requires, time, patience and skill. It contains a lot of
repetition that can get rather annoying from time to time. It
simply isn't as universally appealing as Ocarina of Time. |
