The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords Impressions
Quote:
Written by Justin Davis, GamerFeed
had the joy of playing through one round of Four Swords for the GameCube, and I had a blast even though the three guys I was playing with were French and I didn't understand a word they were saying.
If you're reading this I'm going to assume you know the concept behind Four Swords, so I'll spare you that 411 and skip to what's new in this version. Instead of just interacting with other players on the GBA, using the GBA/GCN link cable you play the game together on the TV screen. Let's say everyone is busy running around an outdoor area on the TV. One player uncovers a cave and jumps in. He then looks at his GBA screen to keep playing, while the other three players still look at the TV. As you move in and out of caves, houses, and other buildings, the gameplay changes from TV screen to GBA to TV screen.
Just like the original Four Swords gameplay is both cooperative and competitive. While your overriding goal is to collect more rupees than the other three players, you need to work together to defeat enemies and solve puzzles.
Thanks to the increased graphical prowess of the GameCube, LttP fanatics will be seeing things that will make their jaw hit the floor. Imagine literally hundreds and hundreds of rupees raining down from the sky after defeating a boss. Even cooler is the new effect when an enemy is defeated. They now blow up in several poofs of cartoonish purple smoke, just like The Wind Waker. One last example of the enhancements is a wave distortion that spreads outward from a player that uses the megaton hammer. It's all very very cool, and more importantly, fun.
With this, the Mario Party series, Pac Man, FF Chrystal Chronicles, and Mario Kart LAN, Nintendo is making up for their lack of online play with the best multiplayer games around. Out of all the games I've played The GameCube version of Four Swords is hands down one of the most enjoyable.
