Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword [SPOILERS]

Sites started putting their reviews up. Mixed of 9s, 10s and some 8s. The ones I actually care about are:

Giant bomb 4/5

Skyward Sword is simultaneously a very good Zelda game and a rather great adventure game. It has some of the most inventive dungeons the series has ever known, sports the most impactful changes to the combat since Z-targeting, introduces wrinkles to the Zelda mythology that will force fans to rethink the entire series, and will have you gawking at it constantly, 480p 'n all. But the series finds itself facing an identity crisis, as it flirts with expanding what has defined the series without abandoning its charming but waning simplicity. Zelda doesn’t need to become something else to maintain relevance, but at a certain point, when “a brand-new great Zelda game” isn’t enough, there’s reason to pause

1UP B+

Dungeons consistently stand as the most brilliant element of the Zelda formula, and Skyward Sword sends you exploring though catacombs on par with some of the best in the series. Some of the challenges require the use of every tool in your inventory, but the best one throws an extra element that requires methodical thinking without feeling too complicated. The developer has artfully crafted intelligently designed spaces that utilize your entire skill set, yet they never beat you over the head with hints or solutions.
