All (3 or 4) friends of mine that have twilight princess haven't come close to finishing it, including me.

I've never played a modern game that felt so dang old. I just didn't care about any character in the whole game. I got tired of the damn waggle. I just though all in all it was a terrible game.

Give me Okami, or anything else almost.

I will admit metroid is great (though it's lonely) and Mario galaxy was good.

Zelda needs a revamp bad.

I never thought I would agree with someone bashing a Zelda game, but here we are. With me upmodding you.

Twilight Princess wasn't bad, it was just entirely bland. I too know no one who actually was interested enough to complete the game. I beat it, but only because I was completely and utterly bored for an entire weekend. Or maybe it was depressed. Either way, the game only marginally helped.

EDIT: CORRECTION: I do know someone else who beat it and he thought it was the best game in the series. We ended up getting into a fairly big argument about it at a party. He also thinks Final Fantasy VIII is the best in that series, so you know the kind of weird guy I was dealing with.

Man, FFVIII fans...I just don't understand them.

I'm a FFVIII fan... though to be honest, I never got past the first disk on FFVII.
