The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword First Impressions

Ok, so-

Got it on launch, played through the annoying "get you acquainted to the controls" section, then left it untouched until my Thanksgiving break. Put it in: the story is deep, well written in my opinion. Very intriguing and full of personality.

The controls seem a tad laggy at times, and I have to say I do not enjoy flying my Loftwing very much. :\ Too waggle-centric for my tastes.

The graphics are superb and unique. I was hesitant at first from screens, but was once over immediately once they appeared on my own tv.

The gameplay seems longer, as in, one temple has taken me a solid 2 hours of traveling and searching. I am not sure if thats good or bad, as there are ample save points throughout the game, dungeon or not.

Overall so far its 8 outta 10 to me, but its early so we'll see!!!

Im loving it. Just finished the 3rd dungeon, and I agree some times the controls are laggy and during combat centric enemies it will make you rage. But Im loving the game.

I actually enjoyed the beginning of Twilight Princess more than this one. And for the first time graphics play a big part in it for me. Realistic Zelda makes me feel more LIKE Link, the more cartoony Zelda makes me feel more like I'm PLAYING Link. I was immediately immersed in TP. I really enjoy these new side characters though. Much more personality.
