Is navigating through the sea as mind numbing and slow as it was for game cube? because if so, its a deal breaker!

To quote the Zelda Wiki: "Exclusive to The Wind Waker HD, the Swift Sail is an upgrade to the Sail that enables the King of Red Lions to sail faster. Also, the Swift Sail automatically changes the direction of the wind to the boat's heading, thus making the King of Red Lions sail at full speed in all directions. This eliminates the need to play the Wind's Requiem when sailing. The Swift Sail is activated by pressing the A button while the normal sail is deployed, and can be changed back to the normal sail by pressing A again. The upgrade is found at the Auction House on Windfall island after the completion of Dragon Roost Cavern.[1]" http://zeldawiki.org/Sail#Swift_Sail

Nope it's actually way faster and you use the gamepad to navigate so way easier than the GameCube versionCx

It's virtually the same as the Lonpos puzzle. There is a version of Lonpos that's 3d, i.e., you have to build a pyramid . I think it was Mindware that used to sell it. Haven't seen that anywhere else.

Yes, it takes a couple of re reads in order to fully grasp the game. The game comes with one manual that offers a walktrough of a very very very simple round of play, I highly recommend you to go by yourself and do it first, then do it again with some friends. But man once you get it, the game is amazing.

From everything I am seeing and reading it will not run well. In some of the forums they give to tricks and twists to try but they don't sound too easy or appealing to me. I guess it boils down to how badly you want to play it. I hope this helps.

No. It's boring and annoying. What could have been a fun and immersive experience is bogged down by necessary game scenarios (hit three switches) and after the monster finds you and kills you a few times, the game turns from scary to annoying and frustrating. The fact that you have no weapons to fend yourself off makes things scary at first, but eventually becomes just lame because only being able to run pads out the game since you have to retrace your steps again once a chase is over. It wasn't fun at all and I never finished it.

Forbidden Desert is kind of like an inverted version of Forbidden Island. It's like they decided to take each gameplay aspect from FI and turn it around (or at least tweak it a little). Overall it's a great companion to FI and is just as much fun to play.

I would have to say it varies from game to game. The board constantly changes and you have to find your cards. We have played some quick 10-15 minute sessions and longer ones as well. It is a fun puzzle strategy type game.

Not sure what it is you're referring to, but if you're trying to use the Leap Motion for serious gaming, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you...it's not quite accurate or fast enough in its response time...

No my good friend, it is the same game as the 2001 release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker It is remastered in HD for the Wii U, with a new faster sail added, one slight control difference when it comes to aiming weapons, and selfies with the pictograph along with some other small things. It's a 10/10 and I do recommend. Happy shopping and stay loving the best game franchise ever!

Forbidden Desert goes up to 5 players instead of 4, and is slightly more involved than Forbidden Island though it is not really more complex. One major difference is that in Forbidden Island you know where the artifacts are that you are trying to get. The main challenge is getting the cards (set collection) required to actually get those artifacts, all while the island is sinking. In Forbidden Desert the challenge is in finding the clues that tell you where the parts to the flying machine are, all while the tiles of the game board are moving around and getting covered by sand. Personally, I prefer Forbidden Desert because of this exploration aspect. Your 6yo (I read your review of Forbidden Island) will probably also enjoy putting together the pieces of the flying machine. The players also each pick a different character to play with unique abilities. This adds to the strategy a bit as it will make different players better at different things. For instance the Water Carrier will spend a lot of their time distributing water to the other players. As for whether you should buy FD if you already have FI; that would depend on 1) how much you enjoy playing FI and 2) if FI is starting to feel so so and losing its challenge. FD is similar enough that you will pick it up very quickly but different enough that it will provide new challenge and variety. If you find your family sitting in front of the TV more and playing FI less, don't delay in getting FD. For me, at a price point of less than $20 I would easily get it even if I had the other. I have games that cost 3x the price that I haven't played half as many times as FD. For the cost of about 3 movie tickets, it's one of the best deals in gaming. And as an aside, if you are interested in something with more depth and strategy, take a look at Pandemic by the same designer. It has similarities to both FD and FI.

Well I think that was FromSoftware's attempt.. or maybe Bandai's to force you to buy the strategy guide. But the start of the game is basically the manual.. you play through, die horribly.. and then finally make it where your supposed to go to.

Not really,........... my wife and I had to stop playing it, because is was too "busy"... The game itself is fairly self directed. In other words, not free-roaming.

I would not recommend purchasing this GPS..the gmu and game tracking functions are wonderful, but compared to others, it is very difficult to navigate the typical functions. The joystick moves the cursor around, but is also the enter button when pushed. So many times you will accidentally select an unintended option by simply trying to move the cursor.

yes, but Jewel Quest I has a clumsy pointer and the game moves slowly. You can't move blocks into some empty spaces. Jewel Quest II is great! But they work on windows 8. That's what I have.

The whole game seems a bit slow to me, and I am an older person. In fact at one point my character was hardly moving and got killed by a bunch of villagers with pitchforks. I have not played it since.
