So far I'm finding this entertaining. I kinda wish they went with Zelda meets Zelda instead of Zelda meets an action game, because the combat is dull and it seems like they want me to do quite a bit of it. If I wanted to play an action game I have Bayonetta on my shelf to go play, but I decided to play this first because I wanted a Zelda style adventure game with puzzles and dungeons and stuff. The first hour or two have been mostly combat; the area I just finished was literally "go to four combat arenas and do challenges to pass". Like, I'm playing on normal because when I first started on hard, I realized the combat wasn't good, and I'd rather get through that stuff easily since I'm not playing this game for the action game qualities. My optimism comes from the bits I'm seeing from the buy menu to world layout. It still seems like it's just teaching me things and soon enough it will open up, and that's fine. I mean, Zelda games have some pretty bad intros, and it's still like a Force Unleashed quality action game.
Playing the PS3 version, btw, and it seems solid. Comparing videos of the 360 version, tearing is far less notable. There is still tearing, it's just very minor. Other than that, it seems about on par with what you'd expect from a game that doesn't look adequate.
