I think that Phantom Hourglass had a LOT of potential, but it was just really, really, short. Either I played it too much when I got it, or it actually is...short. The follow-up with Spirit Tracks really wasn't necessary, like, at all. I finished it in about three days and when it ended, I was all "what?" Did I already beat it? And that's it. If I had to pick between the two, it'd be PH, yeah. It gets a 7/10. I could have spent my money on something I wanted more at the time, cough pokemon pearl cough.
Spirit Tracks = Choo Choo, the train says.
It's really meant for new players in the series.
Windwaker...nuff said.
