Like hell you didn't. Unless you mean when you first wrote it on GFs. We've known each other since February of 2004. (I remember these things.) =P
Anyway, I'll be more precise with my feelings about this since you went into much appreciated, albeit unexpected, detail with mine.
I liked how this one started - it was witty, amusing and it emphasized what made this game different from the other Zelda games. But about halfway through, the style shifted somewhat - perhaps unavoidably - into a more typical review. You even discuss the seemingly ubiquitous (but seldom necessary) points of graphics/sound. I find these things unimportant unless they're outstanding. But at least in your case here, it sounds like the graphics were at least worth the mention.
It also feels like you spend a bit too much time talking about the first... probably fifteen minutes of the game. But even so, you seem to cover everything that's necesary and use pertinent examples to do so. The armored monsters thing was definitely interesting, though for all the importance you seem to emphasize on the game's diversity of options, I'm left wondering why it's only talked about towards the end.
Still, like I said, this was an old review, but still good. I still like it, even if it's not the best thing you've ever written.
[Eating EmP's brain] probably isn't a good idea. I mean... He's British, which means his brain's wired for PAL and your eyes are NTSC. - Will
