Well, this officially sounds amazing. Skyim better be a ten too.

Is this a way around the review embargo, or have they ok'd this?

Zelda series deserve 10/10

Hey Phil....you're a 10.

That is amazing. GI also gave Twilight Princess a 10 so I'm not suprised. This is one heck of a year for games.

Well lets wait to see the skyrim review, there could be 3 10/10 this year

I wish I still had a Wii. :(

Not surprising at all, but awesome! I hope you enjoy your first 10 score review!

I love it when a game I care about as much as this game gets a 10/10. No matter what it got I was still gonna play the *** out of it, but this just assures me that it's going to be amazing. I've been enjoying Arkham City while I'm patiently waiting for Zelda. I pre-ordered this game over 2 years ago, and the fact that it's about to drop is making me the happiest gamer in the world.

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess both got 10s as well. The Zelda series is always a head above the rest.

Awesome! Though I was expecting a pretty high score, and since it is your first, well that makes it all the more special. I remember my firs time, you can read all about it in my blog. I am talking about my first experience with Zelda obviously.

I had a feeling this was going to get a 10, just from everything I have heard so far I knew it would be great.  I can't waite to play this, I hope this game is the longest Zelda game yet.

....

So much negativity that I could say. If you believe this is a 10/10, I pray, I pray, that you compare Skyrim to "the majority of Wii releases." Two different games, I know. But still, I cringe to think something that I can most easily say will involve a boss battle with something that almost has the same graphical prowess of the N64 will take place.

But that's your choice. If you really think this game is equal to COD4, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Arkham City, then that's your review.

*edit* Probably going to be a lot of edits here.

No, I do not base my dislike for this 10/10 off of graphical prowess, and yes, the wii has far better graphics than the N64. So yeah, an exaggeration that was.

The story line will be close to nothing in this and we all know that. We all know that this game is going to get high scores purely because of it's innovation through the wii mote, gameplay, and art direction, along with some nods to the musical score. Am I missing something here?

Past that, is this game really pushing the envelope for the gaming industry? Is this game to be put on the same pedestal as all the great games coming out this year? Will this game be remembered for it's resounding perfection in every aspect? That's a 10/10 folks. Will this game most likely change your perception of video gaming as you know it?

I think there is something to be said here as a counter argument to me, and it is that the Wii is a separate console in and of itself. It's not in line with the 360 or PS3. Nor is it a handheld 3DS or Vita. But that's another problem I have with this. The Wii IS the Nintendo console of this generation, to be compared to the 360 and PS3. I will not quarantine off this console to be separate in the standards that the two previous platforms have set. We measure HD games with so much more criticism, and I truly believe we lower that amount of criticism for the Wii, and like wise in effect, the Zelda series.

Get ready for a 2nd edit, as more replies come in. I know they will.

*2nd edit* ignore my graphical prowess comment. It's mute.

Now simply focus on everything else.

I'm just going to incoporate this edit with the 2nd because it is so close in time frame.

I could care less if this game got a 9.75 and Skyrim got a 9/10. It's the idea that this game is perfection, especially in this modern day video game society. I'm more upset with the lack of reviewing of video games of today. The fact that this game could get released with different character skins and a different title, and most likely get a 9/10. I feel nostalgia enforces our strong sentiment within the video game journalist industry among those who have been in for 30+ years. I simply ask that we as gamers look at video game with a ever pressing seriousness into professionalism and as one of the greatest industry's of our time. To ask for excellence in every game, and of the understanding of looking outside the box, and then after that box is made, look outside of that one, with a never ending goal to perfection (which is possible by my definition).

I'll reply to your respective profiles to save room on the comment section for other replies.

*last edit*

Ah, and Demon informs me that a 10/10 isn't necessarily perfect by GI standards. Which pretty much leaves my argument empty. Guess thinking a 10/10 being perfect was a bad assumption.

Can't wait to read your review, Phil. Nice excerpt.

Sounds amazing, I love LOZ, but I'm not going to buy a Wii for one game.

When is gameinformer going to break the mood and screw the wishes of some multinational corporation, eh?

Now I need to dust off my Wii.

if the first was a 10 why wouldnt it be a 10 its only a digitaly remasterd version of the last NES, SUPER NES, 64, Gamecube game

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! This has made me SO EXCITED!!!

Definitely going to get this now...
