Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

How is this game? I just saw it and noticed that it's in the old SNES-style graphics, so I'm really interested in trying it out on my Gamecube.

You have to buy 4 GBAs, 4 GBA connector cables, and all this other stuff. At least 200 dollars in accessories, but, yeah, it looks pretty good.

No that's optional... I'm asking how the game is just playing it on your own without all the Gameboy Advance stuff.

It appears to be another one of those "connectivity" games like FF Crystal Chronicles, where the single player game is just a pointless option. The game is intended for multiple players, or else everything that makes the game different and fun aren't available.

Even then, the multiplayer looks really bad. I watched two people playing it on G4, and it was really bad. There are certain times where you need all four players in certain positions to do certain tasks. They were trying to demonstrate lining up all 4 Links to lift up a rock, and one player kept telling the other person to change their formation, and they kept fucking it up. They were picking up other Links, switching formation, then switching back by accident, trying like a bitch to line up. They ran out of time to show the game before they could actually life one fucking rock.

So it boils down to running around, sometimes playing against each other, and sometimes working together, but none of it ever really seeming to come together in an easy and fun way. And single player-wise, I just can't imagine there being anything at all in there to make it worth the time or money.

I played it with a few friends and had a total blast. First player mode doesn't seem like it'd be anything special but if you have freinds to play it with it can be a lot of fun.

It looks more like another poor attenpt to cash in on Link to The pasts gameply

I liked it back in the old days when people like me who are devoid of a social life can seek solace in video games. Now you need a social life to play them. >:

Even the sing;e player option isn't bad. I played a demo of it at Best Buy yesterday, and I liked it. It takes a little getting used to, but it works flawlessly. This is coming from a huge Zelda fan. Do yourself a favor, RoG. Pick this one up.

I'll just rent it sometime and see what I think. If I like it, I'll buy it later on.

I just beat the single player game.

Ganon is easy, but looks badass in this. :o

It's fun, even in single player, but unless you have friends that play non-online games like this a lot, then this is mostly a rental.
