Game Forum / Nintendo / GameCube / September 2004Zelda Four Swords - Good single player game?
Is this game any good for just a single player? I'm not interested in the GBA link or anything...but if it is anywhere near as good as LTTP for the SNES, I'm interested. :) >Is this game any good for just a single player? I'm not interested in the >GBA link or anything...but if it is anywhere near as good as LTTP for the >SNES, I'm interested. :) I don't think it is as good as LTTP, but I really enjoyed the one player version. I still haven't tried the multiplayer version. You have to keep in mind that this isn't a typical Zelda game though. It's 24 independent levels that feel like the 2d dungeons in LTTP. Many of them have the same light/dark world concept. However, you don't get to keep stuff between level, so if you gain hearts or weapons in one level, you still start out with only 3 hearts and no weapons in the next level. There are a couple of annoying things such as the fact taht you can only hold one weapon, so sometimes you need to backtrack to get a different weapon if you have the wrong weapon for a puzzle. Overall, I really liked it and feel it was worth it just for the single player. Hope that helps, Vin > >Is this game any good for just a single player?

How long would a single one take to complete? I don't remember exactly, but probably about 30-45 minutes a level. It took me quite a while to finish the game. I think IGN estimate 15-20 hours for the game and I think I was in that range to finish the 24 levels.

That, and the fact that you have to replay the level if you don't collect enough Force Gems (2000) to energize the Four Sword before you reach Vaati's barrier at the end of each level. (This actually happened to me during my first run-through of the single-player game.) > Overall, I really liked it and feel it was worth it > just for the single player. I liked it, too.

(This actually happened >to me during my first run-through of the single-player game.) Wow, I never had that happen. I typically was way over the 2000 before I reached the end of a level. >> Overall, I really liked it and feel it was worth it >> just for the single player. > >I liked it, too.

I've got a couple of friends with GBAs, but haven't had the chance to have them bring over the GBAs and link cables and try out the multiplayer.

What happened in my case was that I got smacked around too much and lost too many Force Gems before I reached the end of the level. (If you get hit forcefully enough, you lose Force Gems, and if you don't pick them up right away, they'll fade away.) There's also a shady "fortune teller" in Kakariko Village who'll offer to tell you a "fortune" if you fork over 100 Force Gems; if you give him the Gems, he'll say something about a "fool and his money are soon parted" or somesuch -- at which point he'll take ALL of your Force Gems! (I fell victim to this charlatan in my first runthrough [ARRGH!!!], but was able to gather enough Force Gems afterward to power up the Four Sword.) >>>Overall, I really liked it and feel it was worth it >>>just for the single player.

In my case, it isn't the equipment -- I have a GBA, an SP and two GBA/GC link cables (one of which came with Four Swords). It's finding *people* to play the game with. <^^;;; SignatureGlenn Shaw Indianapolis, IN USA To reply by e-mail, delete NOSPAM and transpose CAST and NET |
