It's a very pretty game. Anyone who claims the game has "bad" graphics is looking for the wrong thing. The game deliberately looks the way it does and it looks better overall because of that.
I just defeated the first boss and I've gotta be honest, I didn't expect the game to be this dark. I don't mean how Twilight Princess was BROWN BROWN BROWN and having to turn the brightness on your TV up to see anything, I mean that the story is pretty grim from the start. Skyloft is the only place in the sky with people on it. Like seriously, there are no other towns with humans. You're told right when you turn the game on about the legend of the goddess and the origin of Skyloft, learning that the surface world is pretty much fucked beyond belief.
I've heard nothing but praise for Wii Motion Plus and how well Link's swordplay is now, some claiming they will never want to go back to any other method of playing a Zelda game. I also read Gamespot's review that the control scheme is terrible and makes you wish you could just press a button to use the sword. My only issues so far with Wii Motion Plus has been having to re-center the pointer occasionally since the Sensor Bar has no function with Motion Plus, but it's a very minor issue corrected by simply pressing down on the D-pad when you're pointing at the desired remote position for "center". Gamespot claims you have to constantly re-calibrate the remote, but that is an obvious, flat-out lie to give the game a lower score. I only re-calibrated the remote once, before the first boss fight, but it turns out I had absolutely no reason to.
It's pretty easy to get distracted along the main quest. You can get the wooden shield upgrade fairly early on if your're willing to kill a lot of bats for hours, but there's no reason to since you can buy the iron shield after beating the first boss. Of course, I am a completionist, so I can imagine myself eventually fully upgrading the wooden shield despite what a piece of crap it is.
Review coming once I defeat the final boss.
