Gamelog Entry #1

SUMMARY
Phantom Hourglass is an RPG that begins its story from the last adventure of the Zelda series. The introduction clearly establishes the main character, Link (or whichever name you'd like to give him), as the Hero. A ghost ship abducts Princess Zelda and the adventure begins on a quest to save her.

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is easy and fun. There are step by step instructions given at the beginning of the game through normal play for controlling character movements and interaction with the environment. The game creates an almost automatic attachment between the player and character, especially for players of the previous games in the Zelda series. The legacy of this legendary RPG never disappoints with interesting story lines and memorable characters.

Phantom Hourglass is fun largely because of the nostalgiac feel of its predecessors. The controls make the game easy to play with a very intuitive touch screen interface. The game. however, does not necessarily allow for social interactions between other players (at least in adventure mode) because the player can become so absorbed into the game.

Nice, but add information about game mechanics and design. ie. what can link do?, what makes the levels challenging and fun? --Chuck (grader)
