man this game is a good game,but hard to play imo. I just got this game today and man,using the touch screen for everything is hard.Any of you guys have this game?tell me your thoughts.Do you think it deserves the high ratings it has gotten?I think in a way it does,but its sorda annoying to play,maybe its just me,i dunno.Graphics are meh,kinda bug me.This game so far from what ive played,i give it a 7.5-8/10.

I think it was an amazing game. The touch screen was so intuitive on the demo unit that I went out and bought it. Apparently those kiosks do occasionally work.

The game was too short though IMO :[ And the original temple gets so repetitive and annoying, especially with the stealth.

Dude I just got this game today and it is AWESOME! It's kind of hard to move around with the stylus, especially since it keeps getting in my way when I need to move left, but nonetheless, this is a VERY fun game.

Once again, Zelda kicks ass.

the touch screen controls felt comfortable but took some getting used to. unfortunately, i enjoyed it so much that i played through it too quick. i agree with Faux though about the repetition on the first temple

overall, just another amazing zelda game!

the Zelda games are always amazing. I haven't played this one, but.......I can't wait too.

Well now that I've had it for a few days, here are my thoughts:

It's innovative with things like blowing into the mic to blow out candles in the game, or yell to get a character's attention. But one part in the game, where you have to close the DS screens shut and reopen them pisses me off. There's fun, and then just annoying as ****.

That's one of them

Using the stylus to move Link around, while it may help going in any direction, whereas with the pad you can only go four different directions, using the stylus is kind of gay. It'd be nice to have an option that switches this around.

It'd also be nice to have the game screen changeable on which screen it was on on the DS.

But still, worth the ****in money.

Zelda Phantom Hourglass is awesome. I've beat it twice and it was amazing each time.
This game is also one of the few popular DS games that fully utilizes the touchscreen. Think Nintendo's incentive: Add more interactivity in the game so it is not just A B X Y Up down Left Right L R. That's one reason why they made the Wii.
I found it annoying at first, but I thought it was fun in the end.

The only thing annoying about PH is... hmm.. I don't know. Some things, like closing the DS then reopening it was stupid(for one of the maps), but other than that it's OK.

The dungeon(forget the name) where you have to use the hourglass(timed thing) is kind of fun, I keep dying though. I've almost gotten the map to get to the place with the first material needed for a new Phantom Sword.

I'm glad they haven't used the Master Sword in a while.. It was getting old.

I played this before on my friend's DS, all I have to say is that it was fun using the stylus to make Link spin.

It's kind of annoying though. Link never attacks when I want him to, then I die. But still, when you're just running around, it's quite fun

No, it's a good game. You just wanted to get another zB so you quickly replied something that wasn't true.

I have the highest amount of zB on here. You'll never catch up to me or runtohell121.

And PH is awesome.. Except I'm stuck on it right now.

Need any help? Been through it twice.

Sure I'll add you to AIM when I get home. Right now I'm in the Goron Dungeon, and don't know where to go or what to do.

Or I'll just look at a guide later :P Either way, I feel sick right now.. Like I'm about to throw up.
