Reviews for the first batch of Wii and PS3 launch games are trickling in, and 1up.com (official website for EGM and one of the biggest game sites on the planet) has given The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Nintendo Wii a perfect 10, their “Genius” rating. Accoring to 1up:

Twilight Princess is something you rarely see: a 60-hour adventure in which every moment is memorable. But then, maybe that’s no surprise — it represents the full resources and effort of the world’s most powerful first-party developer, and thanks to all those delays, it’s even enjoyed an extra year of polish and refinement. The question to ask therefore isn’t “Is it any good?” but rather “Just how good is it?”

The answer? Truly fantastic. It’s not a reinvention of the genre like Ocarina was — but it’s much better, because it takes all its predecessors’ raw ideas, perfects them, and creates an experience that’s at once new and familiar. It’s rare to find a launch game that truly justifies the purchase of a new console, but this is precisely that. If Wii Sports is a game for everyone, Twilight Princess is for everyone who loves games.
