can't believe the game is completely finished already... why do we have to wait 5 weeks for it then >_>
Were the boxes shiny?

They didn't look shiny to me, may have been the angle I was at though.

Not watching any of these videos.

The videos are official, there is a slight spoiler or two though.

I have the box, they're not shiny.

The first Skyward Sword review is in and it's from ONM. They gave it a score of 98%.

ONM said that The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword is the "best Zelda game ever made." and it's is also ONM's highest rated Wii game, beating Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess (lol, Twilight Princess?), which all received 97% review scores.

Apparently it's available for subscribers and in shops today.

I like the artwork.

Not sure what to make of that. "the best Zelda ever made" is an extremely bold claim. And 98% is an exceptional score; beyond exceptional in fact. But on the other hand, it's only 1% better than Loz:TP? Smilie

I refuse to get too excited.

ONM gave Phantom Hourglass 95% and said it was one of the best Zelda games since A Link to the Past. Smilie

I think the higher than high score was to gain hype for them considering they're the first to review it. Smilie

They gave OoT3D 98% too. As good as that game is, no way does it deserve such a score nowadays. ONM sadly, will always big up every big Nintendo release.

Okay, maybe it's time to get excited now! Smilie

I haven't read Edge in a while, are they as harsh on scores as they used to be?

They're extremely harsh when it comes to scoring. They've only given a 10 score to thirteen games (14 including Skyward Sword) since the magazine launched in 1993.

Yea, whenever I look at a game's reviews, Edge's scores are always mad low.

Yeh, I knew they had a reputation for it, I was just wondering if it was still the case.
From what I remember a 5/10 from Edge was roughly equal to a 7/10 in most other mags! Smilie

Interestingly, NGamer are doing a two-part review and not giving it a final score until next months issue. Apparently they didn't think it was fair to score until they had explored everything the game has to offer.

They also said this:
