Family Gamer review Wed, 22 Apr 2009

Everything about this game from its stunning visuals to its intuitive controls is an astounding experience. The quality of a Nintendo developed game is evidenced here with a pixel-perfect release of Zelda Phantom Hourglass. Its arrival on the DS meets all the expectations I had for a Zelda game and is an essential purchase for any videogame fan.

Believe it or not Zelda has been having something of a torrid time amongst the Japanese gamers. The likes of WindWaker and Twilight Princess haven't been received with the same enthusiasm as older titles such as Ocarina of Time. In European and US soils there may have been less riding on the Phantom Hourglass, but there was no less expectation for the release. It was with considerable glee that I ripped the wrapping off the game as soon as it dropped through my doorbox.

Action adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons. They provide a variety of fast action encounters where you are fighting, fleeing or evading some enemy. They also provide a large world in which to explore and adventure. This exploration is usually driven by some particular plot-tension introduced early in the game that you must resolve.
