Choo Choo Spirit Tracks

Anyone else got this yet? Seems good so far, it's got Phantom Hourglass' excellent dungeon and boss design, but like the boat the train is still notas as fun as a real world map.

It has fixed some of the problems PH had, namely the Spirit Tower is nowhere near as onerous as the Ocean King's Palace from PH, due to the fact you don't have to go through the old areas of the dungeon everytime and the fact that floors are just more fun. Also Zelda is a pretty good companion(not as good as Midna, but she's way more entertaining than Navi, Tatl or the PH fairy) and she has got some funny dialogue (her "pep talk" is epic).

Main downside aside from the lack of a fully explorable world map? Too much focus on the microphone. The flute while a nice throwback to OoT is really hard to use, and it's a pain to have to us ethe mic in battle for items like the fan. Also I'm still a little sore about abandoning real Hyrule back in WW, but eh it's only an alternate universe I guess, they'll keep using real Hyrule and Ganon in the main games.

Edit: Just realised I could have done a terrible and obscure Zelda pun if I'd spelt it Chu Chu.

Is there enough difference from PH to warrant buying it, out of curiosity? It seems pretty similar to me from what I've seen.

I'm still probably going to get it eventually though. Because I'm Nintendo's bitch.

Eh I'd say yes, it's still Zelda. But yeah the difference is less than say Majora's Mask and OoT, it really is more of the same with a slight jump in difficulty(mostly from mic use though, admittedly it's worse for me being a left hander as that makes the mic in a really awkward spot), and a number of problems dealt with.

So what do you get first? The boomerang or the bow?
