So me and Nintendo have different ideas on what to do with this Zelda license. I tend to think that the franchise needs an overhaul, a desperate tweaking of its stagnant format. I say enough to tired gameplay ideas, like dungeons built around a bow and...
I get the impression that because of all this microphone nonsense, Spirit Tracks was meant to be played by kids who normally play their handheld Pokemon games at home while simultaneously watching Pokemon cartoons and shuffling their Pokemon card decks...

Spirit Tracks is a case study in how many bad design elements one can cram in while still making a decent game in the end. The core of its game play is like most other Zelda titles, letting you explore a vast world, gather special equipment, and fight...

Of the two most recent Legend of Zelda titles, my favorite is not Twilight Princess on the Wii, but Phantom Hourglass on the DS. Despite its more compact adventure and less realistic Wind Waker-like visuals, I found its gameplay—buoyed by excellent...

I didn’t grow up with like many other lucky gamers. In fact, the only game I played before was , and that hardly counts because it is so different from the rest of the series. Still, if a Zelda game comes out for a system I own, I’m all over it. When...
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is yet another fantastic entry in what is perhaps the greatest video game series of all time. It plays like pure gold, looks and sounds better than other games on the system, and is completely satisfying in just about...

Ah, legend of Zelda. You evoke so many things for so many gamers. In a way you are the never-say-die spirit of video games. This almost ancient franchise gets another US DS release with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Like many of its predecess...
Decent graphics, mounting fun and interesting puzzles. Multiplayer battle mode and ability to trade via DS Download connection and one cart.
A slow start. No co-operative multiplayer for main game and no Wi-Fi Connection multiplayer.

Spirit Track features the cel-shaded art style that was first introduced in the Wind Waker on the GameCube. This graphic style works well on the DS and personally I think it is a perfect fit for the platform. Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was int...

It will probably come in very handy, the game says. It's referring to the Spirit Flute, and is making the understatement of the year. The latest Zelda might happen to be called Spirit Tracks, and its imagery might be suffused with steamy, quasi-industr...

Zelda is dead -- let's just get that out of the way upfront. She's killed by a ruthless chancellor within the first few minutes of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and plucky series protagonist Link is tasked with returning her ghost to her body. Bu...

I am on the horns of a dilemma. One horn is familiarity, the other is execution. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Nintendo's latest DS Zelda game, is both instantly familiar and wonderfully executed. Do we, then, criticise it for a lack of innovatio...

It isn't often we'll see two Zelda efforts on a single platform. NES had it, Game Boy Color had it, GameCube sort of had it, but unless you count ports, remakes, or the trilogy of face-palm proportions on CD-i, there really haven't been many times in h...
When it released two years ago, Phantom Hourglass blew us away with impressive visuals, beautiful music, and a huge world packed with plenty to see and do. What it was missing, however, was some of the hardcore difficulty and classic dungeon puzzles th...

Continuity in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda games can be a muddled, confusing mess, but Spirit Tracks is unambiguously presented as the sequel to both 2003's Wind Waker and 2007's Phantom Hourglass. Set "about 100" years after its predecessors, the ga...
