Really, really good. So good. Great to play with friends and family since the Mario Party-style chaos of the item balance means even lesser players like my friend Big Al can beat me consistently and unrelentingly.

I think I'm surprised by how short the levels are every time I return to this.

Probably the only Zelda game I didn't really enjoy.

Imported a Gamecube for this and it was absolutely worth it.

My first playthrough of this, including defeating the Ruby Weapon, took just under 20 hours. I showed my pal Jim who was amazed but it turned out the clock was just fucked.

I did a yelp the first time I saw it.

Doesn't have the variety or visuals of 3D World but there are some brilliantly designed platformin' challenges, especially the timed and Cosmic Mario chases. One of my favourite Mario games, and I love Mario games. Mario.

I got far too distracted by the sidequests to get my bearings or make any real progress after a dozen hours. That's a me problem but it also ran terribly on Xbox 360.

Played the PAL version of this for years with no clue that it was waaaay slower than it should be. Mostly we and my cousin taking turns. He'd turn of the Mega Drive sometimes because he was afraid "the music might run out".

This felt so fresh at the time. Not having to worry about flicking through some huge weapon arsenal, or sulk around hoping for health packs. Stickin' grenades was a wicked delight. One of the first games I played A Lot of team multiplayer online in too.

Played this on a Game Boy Micro on the bus, the way the artist intended.

I did enjoy the battles (and getting killed almost immediately by Dark Aeons) but struggled to have fun for the most part. Reached the final boss but didn't bother completing it.

I know this is primarily a multiplayer game but I'm not at all into shooters. Despite that I thought the single-player campaign was superb. Full of variety, constant new gameplay mechanics, some visual spectacle and, best of all, pretty short. It's often offensively cheap, too. This series deserved better.

A worthy sequel to my favourite videogame. Weirdly familiar in a game where that sensation suits perfectly.

This is great. A wonderful example of all the amazing haptic sensations future PS5 games won't include.
