As a single-player DS experience, Phantom Hourglass is unmatched. It lacks the legs of Final Fantasy III - PH’s nearest rival - but there’s little in that that can match Hourglass working at full power. The game is, in every way, the adventure of a lifetime. Whether slicing through the ocean, smiting the finest bosses the Zelda team have dredged up in years (special mention to one fight carried out from the first-person perspective of the boss himself) or simply whacking cuccos with your sword - it’s one dazzling highlight after another. And we’d gladly sail the seas to play this gem.

You'll love
  • Wonderful stylus-driven controls
  • New life in tired Zelda conventions
  • Dungeon levels are spectacular
You'll hate
  • Sparse side-quests
  • Purists might not like changes
  • On the ocean... again

I say 9/10 too, it was awesome, but the dungeons seemed to short. Best handheld Zelda in a while.

9/10 i think this is one of the better games to DS, if you have seen the graphic in other ds games i think you will think this game is pretty good.
